Let a Child Learn How to Cook
Children often enjoy what is going on in the kitchen and thanks to this app they will be able to learn what to do. They can become the head of their own restaurant and understand what has to be done if they really want to run one. There is a selection of guests that they can prepare a meal for with Toca Kitchen 2 and a selection of new food that can be prepared with this cooking game. The great thing is that the child and the kitchen can get as messy as you want and there is nothing to clear up afterwards.
Once you have downloaded the app, you will be told that there are 2 permissions that need to be given. There is no need to worry that you may be leaving your phone open to attack as the privacy settings are high. Once you have given the permissions that the app may access areas of your phone, then you and the child can begin to play the game.
You will see a number of people and get to choose the one that will be your first guest. They will appear at the kitchen table and it is now that you can start to cook as part of the cooking game.
There is a cupboard that you can go to and choose the item that you are going to prepare. Some will clearly need some cooking, and others you will get away with serving raw. The way that food is prepared in the real world can go out of the window. The child's imagination will determine which process is used. Salads can be served hot and anything can be juiced.
Once the first item has been selected and prepared the next one can be chosen. There is no need to combine items that would normally be eaten together. Here you can add the strangest things together and not worry about the mess that is left behind. You have 6 utensils to choose from so the products can be cooked in a variety of ways so it is a varied cooking game.
The guests will be presented with the food and you will be able to judge their reaction. If they don't like it then they will let you know. You can then make a better dish, or further punish them by making one that is equally as bad.
It is clear that the guest above was not happy with the drink that they have been presented with. Even adding salt or pepper did not improve the taste. Some of the combinations will get a good reaction and it can give the child an idea of something they would like to have prepared in their own kitchen.
All the foods that are listed are items that will be found in many houses. There are some new ones including chicken, prawns, watermelon, rice and a range of other vegetables. The one that could get a frown is octopus' leg although there is no accounting for taste. New condiments have been added and the chance to use hot or sour sauce will improve the chances of the meal being disliked. As the app is aimed at 6 to 8- year-olds, hearing the loud burp is going to be something to entertain them.
