Be the first player to make a 2 course dinner with a main course and either a starter or pudding.
You collect the appropriate ingredient cards needed for a recipe. Players can refer to the menu at the front of the rules booklet to confirm which cards they need.

The winner is the first player to declare dinner ready and lay it on the table with at least 2 complete pure recipes. You may also lay down other impure recipes made up with leftovers, which can lead to some very curious culinary experiments. These may be disallowed by the other players on the grounds of being absolutely disgusting! These disputes may be settled by actually cooking them!

This is the second game from the publishers of The Garden Game.

Attention to detail is fantastic re. the descriptions and photographs on the playing cards and the design of the playing pieces, game board and rule book.

The rules booklet also contains the recipes featured in the game as devised by Jane Grigson, a celebrity cook in the 1980s. There are also a selection of adverts from the sponsors of the Cooking Game.
