Supper’s ready! Cooking Mama: Cuisine – the latest in the beloved food-making series – is sizzling on Apple Arcade. Slice, dice, grill and sauté your way through incredible meals, with a zesty twist this time around: you don’t choose the recipe... the recipe chooses you!

Got beef, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and a pot? You may be simmering up a hearty beef stew. Eggs, wheat flour and milk? How about doughnuts! Here’s a look at what’s on the menu.

From juicy burgers to mouth-watering samosas, Cooking Mama’s dishes span all sorts of culinary delights, and every preparation is unique. Swipe to peel carrots or stir a steaming soup, then add salt, pepper and freshly chopped ingredients at key moments. Flip your steak at exactly the right time to ensure it’s evenly seared – toss it too high and it may hit the stove hood!

Don’t sweat it if you botch something – there’s no “game over” in Cooking Mama’s kitchen. “We prepared lots of fun surprises – even when you make mistakes,” says game director Tomoaki Matsui, “so don’t be afraid to try out lots of recipes.”

Nail each step while prepping a dish to earn stars. The more you earn, the cooler the rewards, including fresh new tools, aprons and hairstyles for Mama. Once you successfully pull off a recipe, you can cook it whenever you want, regardless of the day’s ingredients.

Matsui’s favourite?

“I love the Black Bean Burger,” he says. “It uses healthier ingredients than a regular hamburger – and adding it to the game made me realise there are different approaches to cooking.”
