Whatever you are looking for, there is always a culinary competition to have a good time with. From half-hour episodes that will make us disconnect for a moment or even give us ideas, that will help us learn tricks or recipes to use in our daily lives, up to video games like Yum Yum Cookstar.
Because the work developed by the people of 1st Playable Productions does not only offer us a scenario in which we participate in an energetic culinary competition organized by chef Yum Yum. It is also a complete cooking game in which, through a series of events that will correspond to the different phases of food preparation, we will have to prepare a wide variety of culinary dishes. A game in which we enter the kitchen to be creative and compose wacky recipes.

Flavor is undoubtedly the most important characteristic of a dish and one that should be given priority, but when a diner sits down to taste a dish, all of our senses come into play: the smell of the ingredients, the texture of food when eating it, the sound of these crunchy products and of life, because we also eat “with our eyes”.
In the end, making a good plate allows the customer to taste it with more enthusiasm and the culinary experience to be more complete. Fortunately, Yum Yum Cookstar uses just the right ingredients to help achieve originality and make your presentation more attractive. A presentation sponsored by casual and extremely colorful designs, nothing we haven’t seen in many cartoons for as long as we can remember.

Eating, nourishing oneself, is an essential activity for every human being. The necessary intake of nutrients has been one of the basic needs, based on research and the preparation of foods to be consumed. Therefore, food and nourishment suppose a goal that appears in one way or another in all aspects of daily life, from language to its representation in art. And literally making the old comparisons between “culinary art” and “artist’s cooking”, the title of yore exudes a passion for cooking, pulling off epic culinary showdowns.
Because in a way it’s a job that enjoys a certain predilection for the tools that are used in it, for the thousands of styles to prepare food and the importance of our ability to command, since they are part of the art of cooking and allow us to taste a simple bowl. He seeks that the flavors, aromas, textures and colors of the dishes reach their maximum expression.
However, the name of the game itself should give us a hint that it’s going to offer us more than just a unique recipe. After all, at the same time that we put our culinary arts to the test, three judges with their own different voices and personalities will rate our cooking, sometimes reflecting the sternest view of the hierarchy behind the stove. In a certain sense, this is what we see in many reality TV shows, in the attempt to turn reality into spectacle, a fluid amalgamation in which various expressive resources of traditional television converge, namely: the contest, the live, the talk show, documentary, news, melodrama and music video.

If one of your aspirations is to become a cooking expert, I think you’ve come to the right place. After all, Yum Yum Cookstar does its homework mixing the key ingredients to do it. a work full of entertainment; pouring a tall glass of vocation and five tablespoons of an intense sense of humor.
