How does a plate score?

You hold five ingredients.
Every card has a taste, a rank from 1 to 10 and a cuisine.
Plate three of them.
Tomato, egg and hot pepper: the cards' ranks add to the Flavor.
Secret recipe: Menemen!
The right ingredients open a recipe, and a recipe brings its own bonus to the plate.
Flavor × Mult
91 Flavor, 6 Mult: this plate is worth 546. Beat the critic's target and the service is yours.

48 secret recipes, opened by cooking

From Menemen to Pistachio Baklava, every recipe opens when the right ingredients meet on one plate. Every try leaves a clue, and the recipe book fills as you cook.

Menemen
İster Menemen ister Shakshuka deyin; ekmek banmadan durulamayan en ünlü tava klasiğidir.
Tomato · Egg · Hot Pepper
Pistachio Baklava
Kayıtlardaki ilk saray reçetesi 1473 yılında Topkapı Sarayı mutfak defterlerinde geçer; Osmanlı'da her Ramazan'ın ortasında "Baklava Alayı" töreniyle tepsiler halinde askerlere dağıtılmıştır.
Flour · Sugar · Butter · Egg · Pistachio
Lahmacun
From the Arabic "lahm bi'ajin", "meat with dough"; for centuries the stone ovens of southeastern Anatolia and Aleppo have baked it as thin dough spread with spiced mince, rolled up with parsley.
Flour · Minced Meat · Tomato Paste · Parsley
Çılbır
Dünya kahvaltı listelerini altüst eden Osmanlı mirası; soğuk yoğurt ve sıcak yumurtanın tereyağıyla dansı.
Egg · Yogurt · Butter · Hot Pepper
Lentil Soup
MÖ 8000'de Bereketli Hilal'de tarımı yapılan ilk bakliyattır; Osmanlı imarethanelerinde (aşevi) tel süzgeçten geçirilerek bugünkü pürüzsüz "süzme" kıvamına kavuşmuştur.
Lentil · Onion · Flour · Carrot
Sushi
Aslen 8. yüzyılda balıkları fermente pirinç içinde bozulmadan saklama yöntemi olarak doğmuş, 1820'lerde Tokyo'da (Edo) sokak işçileri için hızlı tüketilen taze bir yemeğe dönüşmüştür.
Rice · Fish · Seaweed
Kısır
The fine bulgur salad of Gaziantep and Hatay is the pride of women's “kısır day” gatherings. Its neighbour tabbouleh is mostly parsley, while kısır turns red and sweet-sour with pepper paste and pomegranate molasses.
Pomegranate Molasses · Tomato Paste · Onion
Ali Nazik
Ağır ateşte pişmiş kırmızı etin lezzeti, altındaki sarımsaklı soğuk yoğurtla dengelenerek damakta patlama yaratır.
Yogurt · Garlic · Butter · Minced Meat
Taco
Adı, 18. yüzyıl Meksika gümüş madenlerinde kâğıda sarılan barut fitillerine verilen "taco" adından gelir; mısır ekmeğine sarılan dolgunun kendisi ise Azteklerin sofrasına kadar uzanır.
Minced Meat · Jalapeño · Onion · Tomato
Sütlaç
Its name comes from "sütlü aş", "milky dish"; rice and milk puddings crowned iftar and wedding tables in the Ottoman palace, and the oven-browned version spread through Istanbul's pudding shops.
Milk · Rice · Sugar · Cinnamon
Risotto
Rice came to Italy with Arab traders and was planted in the Po valley in the 15th century; the story goes that in 1574 an apprentice painting Milan Cathedral's stained glass stirred saffron into rice and made the first risotto.
Rice · Mushroom · Parmesan · Butter
Cacık
Its name comes from "cacı", the 11th-century word for herbs stirred into yogurt; it took its cucumber form in the 15th-century Ottoman palace kitchen.
Cucumber · Yogurt · Garlic

The critics

Ten critics, each one changes the rules

At the end of every shift a critic takes the table. One can't stand anything sour, another sends the plate back at the fourth ingredient. Find a critic's soft spot and they leave you their spoon.

Story

Grandma's lokanta, 24 days

In story mode you reopen a grandmother's dusty neighbourhood lokanta, corner by corner. The neighbourhood comes to eat, a minibus takes you to cater, and on the shelf sit the old tapes of a 1990s cooking show once filmed in this very kitchen.
