A guide that I developed for my wife.

2009-Nov-23 Updated with new foods. Changed net income to reflect the 15 coin charge for cleaning the stove.

2009-Oct-31 Updated with crab bisque, halibut and peking duck.

My kids like this game. I needed a way to make it more interesting. Here is the list of food they can make, in order of efficiency.
