Summary Cooking gamescan be as fun as making delicious meals in a real kitchen. It gets even better if you may experience trying out a wide variety of cuisines.

We’re in a weird era of mobile games right now.

There’s some cool status effects you decide to build around. Ah, the boss is immune to them. All of them.
