## What is Fun Kitchen?

Learn to cook and practice cooking in a realistic sim kitchen. Every recipe in Fun Kitchen is a real kitchen you can play: every fail tells you why. Then cook it for real, step by step, with voice and timers.

A calm cooking game and a real recipe guide in one, for the whole family. Nearly 200 dishes from 10 cuisines (Indian, Italian, French, American, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Middle Eastern), plus shelves of bakes, desserts and ice cream.

LEARN TO COOK
• Learn: any dish, one step at a time, in a kitchen you can see all at once: the board, the pans, the oven, the plate.
• Mistakes are free. Burn the cumin and the app shows what happened and why, then you rewind a step.
• Watch any dish cook itself (skip ahead through the long waits), or play it your way in the Sandbox.

COOK IT FOR REAL
• Cook-along: step cards, timers that run side by side, and a voice that reads each step out. The voice is built into the app and works offline.
• Called away? Pick it up later at the step you left.

PLAY
• Cook-offs: beat the clock, plate it up, and the judges taste it and tell you what they think. Then two hungry guests drop by for a bite.
• Season 1: fourteen episodes against seven rival cooks, at your own pace, with whole meals to put on the table.
• The daily Mystery Basket: the same basket for every cook on your diet today.
• Signature versions: the chef's finish, plating and technique for a dish.

PLATE IT, SHARE IT
• Plating fun: plate any dish your way, with plates, bowls, garnishes, sauces, cloths and props, and kits from ten cuisines. Tips, never grades.
• Today's plate: a new plating challenge every day, the same for everyone. Free.
• Meal on the table: put two to six dishes together, on the table, on one big plate or on a banana leaf.
• Share a picture of your plate or your meal.

INVENT YOUR OWN DISH
• The Invention Kitchen: no recipe, just the shelf. Guide shows the dish you are heading toward and what to add next.
• Name it and save it as a recipe to cook again or share.

YOUR FAMILY'S RECIPES
• My Recipes: paste a recipe (a caption, your notes, or a whole recipe page), share a recipe page straight from Safari, or read one from a photo or a PDF. It becomes a dish you can learn, cook along or cook off.
• Send the family vault, or any recipe of your own, as one file anyone with the app can add.

YOUR DIET, YOUR KITCHEN
• Vegan, vegetarian and with-egg versions of the dishes that need one, plus air fryer versions, each saying what changes.
• Flag allergies: each dish says which ingredient brings it.
• Plan the week and get one shopping list, minus what is in your cupboard.
• What can I cook? Your pantry ranks dishes by the least shopping.
• Assist settings: a slower clock, no burning, bigger buttons, less motion.
