How to play

  1. 1

    Set out the same five ingredients for each cook.

  2. 2

    Everyone gets 35 minutes to make the best plate they can.

  3. 3

    Plates go down together and everyone tastes every dish.

  4. 4

    Score taste, presentation and how tidy the station was.

How it's scored

Five for taste, five for how it looks, five for tidiest station.

What you need

Five ingredients each, plus whatever's in the cupboard, and 35 minutes.

A taste of the cards

  • Make it look like a restaurant dish
  • Use every ingredient at least once
  • Name your dish before you start cooking

4 cards in the deck — PlayMe deals them out as you play.

Tips for the host

  • • Everyone tastes, even the fussy eaters — one bite counts.
  • • Wash up as a team at the end.
