Question about love interest selection
So, I’m the episode after keeping up tradition when we tell Hazel who we have a crush on why isn’t Geoffrey and Tyler an option? Do they not have a route? I’d be kinda sad if that’s the case tbh
Cute
It’s a pretty good story with decent characters that are easy to like. The music is nice and the art is beautiful. Unfortunately there’s no real idea of how to get the characters you want and no skip button. I also would have really loved it if they added more illustrations of the food since it’s a story about food but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

just missing one thing
the game itself is great, however it would be much nicer if that could include a skip button so when you replay for another route, it’d be much easier (especially because the first few chapters are longer)
3.5 stars - not for the busy/impatient
Enjoyable, slice-of-life style game; the characters are unique and have their charms. I just have two major complaints: 1) an inability to skip, which would not be too big a problem if not for 2) a lack of clear guidance on unlocking romance options. The game does not show which options are the “right” choices that will enable you to pick specific romance routes in Chapter 9, and no walkthroughs are available (apparently this was a Kickstarter exclusive?). I have played through twice now, and even though I made different choices, I was only able to unlock the same two routes. I find it frustrating that if I want to unlock all the routes I will have to repeatedly run through unskippable scenes while engaging in meticulous notetaking. As things stand, I am unlikely to finish the game, which is a real shame given that I liked the story + I paid for it.

An obvious labor of love game
Update:
The review below still applies, but I’ve noticed there is a lack of skip button, which makes the early chapters a little long to replay. I hope one gets implemented somehow, but either way it’s still a great game!
I love this game. Seriously, thank you devs for something so cute and well-written.
To start off, the story is adorable - it’s a slice of life with actual character growth throughout the course of 13 chapters.
The main character is fantastic. She actually seemed competent and had her own goals/friends.
The LIs are varied and each feel like actual people outside of the protagonist (and had convincing dynamics with each other). Geoffrey was my least favorite, and I still wanted him to be happy. They all make you care about them regardless of their route. Each one has something to grow from, and it was super satisfying to see them find their ground.
Finally, it’s all for a low, one time price.
I will be trying any game that these guys put out from now on, and I’ve already bought a pin set off their merch store. Fantastic game that I cannot recommend enough (especially for the price).

Really great!
This is a sweet little game and I really am enjoying it! Would absolutely benefit from having a skip button though, it’s quite time consuming to skip through dialogue as is now.
I love it and want more !
So I dislike that it's ending because I'm so in love with the story and the characters I will probably buy any game they come out with because I loved this one so much it's all so beautifully written for people who are considering playing and if you are it’s so worth it ) the art it’s So detailed the guys' faces are just remarkable you can tell how much time and effort they put into this game they even have different facial expressions which I love 😂 and the story is written so beautifully I don’t wanna put it down it makes your heart flutter and warm it also makes me wanna go out and try foods that I have never had before if you love choice stories anime looking boys and food, they also have Instagram if you wanna follow them just to see more stuff about the game if your thinking about getting it maybe it will help you decide!
Leo was my favorite I went in this having wanting to pick geff because he has pink hair 😅 but started in and reading four chapters having love for Jamie but then I had to do Leo because I knew there had to be a sweet spot when I was doing Jamie's route Leo is actually a loveable so please don't hesitate to love the lemon prince then Tyler the childhood best friend he is so precious and I know nothing about sports really but in one of the chapters I was so interested in what was going on in tylers game after something happened I was like oh no! But if you guys put out more merch for this is buy it !

Incredible
All the boys are so cute and lovable!!! Def play for a good romantic time :)
The cutest game ever! 💕
I don’t normally bother writing reviews for games but I can’t help it for this one! The game contains clean and refreshing background/character art and educational little tidbits about cooking in general. To be honest, it’s the first game I’ve ever played that seemed to emphasize teaching the players while roping them into copious amounts of fluff from the romance options. A good thing I noticed about this game is that unlike other romance visual novels the player is allowed to follow through two romance options at once due to having two save slots available. The four romance options are all sweet and easy to fall in love with. Another amazing thing about this game is that the developers themselves are quite fun to interact with on social media. Each question I’ve asked has been answered as fast as possible and I’ve even exchanged some memes with Nochi Studios 👀

Cute boys and great writing!
The boys are so cute and absolutely adore the writing. Extremely appreciate that the MC holds their own against the LIs and has a great relationship with them!!! I need to play all the routes now
I have been following for so long
I remember running into the creators at a booth during an anime convention waaaay back in the day. I am so happy to see all their hard work paid off!
A visual masterpiece with a story to match!
I was first drawn into the game by the beautiful character designs, then further fell in love with the gorgeous backgrounds. The story was fun and educational. The replay value is very high with the different paths I can try! I just wish new chapters came out faster.
Thank you!
Much needed refreshing wholesome content in a genre plagued with sexism.
Refreshing change
❤️ this game. Interactions are interesting from the first moment, and I love the sustainability message. Also, the art is amazing!
😍 Finally a game for women gamers by 👩🏻
Where to start? First, I’ve played a lot of romance games, and this one is by far the best! The characters are 🔥 and the storyline is super engaging. If you are looking for a game where the male characters appreciate a smart woman and it’s actually relevant, then this is it. I didn’t realize how tired I was of being patronized by the characters in other games. Also, as a foodie myself, I had fun being the newest student at Lincoln Culinary Academy, and evening learned a few things I can use in my everyday life. Can’t wait for the next chapters!

Response from developer

Everything about it is absolutely adorable 🥰🥰 I love the characters, art, and storyline so much! I already know I'll be playing multiple times through to hit every route lolol
Response from developer

Woahhh
I love how relevant the story is!! (Trying not to give away spoilers >w<)
Response from developer
Thank you for the review! uwu We hope you continue to enjoy the game :)
Not what I was expecting, but in the best way
I bought this today after seeing it on my tumblr feed a few times. I've played pretty much every visual novel out there, so this is a genre I'm already invested in. I tend to skip titles that are only available on mobile, so I wasn't sure how I would like it--but it's not all that different from a PC visual novel.
The art is clean, attractive, and professional, if not in a style that I usually prefer. The writing is good with good editing. The menus and GUI are good, even if I'm missing a couple of the options you find in PC games (namely, the option to skip through seen dialogue). You have the option to play as a "boy" or "girl," but it would be cool if that language was changed to he/him, she/her, and then really make me happy by adding a they/them option.
The premise/story is really cute, and I enjoyed it more than I expected. Even if it didn't have a romance option, I would still enjoy playing the culinary school story. I really like how the story and character interactions are really the focus. You have the chance to befriend everyone even if you don't want to romance them. It's definitely a "slow burn" type romance. In fact, in the first 7 chapters, I'm not sure there's really a "romance" to speak of with any of the 4 ROs. You're just slowly getting to know each other while studying hard at culinary school and... I really liked that a lot more than I thought I would.
I think each of the ROs are interesting and have unique and well-developed personalities. I like all of them! Perhaps the best character in the game is the adorable, pumpkin-loving Robin--the MCs roommate. I always like it when romance visual novels have friend characters. It's weird when MCs only interact with the ROs, so I'm glad you don't have to worry about that in this game so much. With that said, there could be more Robin! (like include them in the texts and social media posts) I'm looking forward to seeing them more in future updates.
Anyway, I really enjoyed playing the first 7 chapters of this game (I've already played through a few times to get all the CGs). I feel like it's definitely worth the $5 if you're a fan of otome visual novels and/or cooking stories.
