In Cooking Simulator the player takes on the role of a master chef in a 5 star restaurant located somewhere in France. The player will get a first person view on the kitchen as if he where the chef. The player will move around with the WASD keys and pick up and use cooking utensils with the mouse. To cook, the player must grab good items and then use them on different things (like putting them in a pot, or oven etc....) Once the player has selected a tool he can then use it on the pot or oven or whatever. This will make the chef do that action for a set amount of time. The chef will have full reign of the kitchen will thousands of different recipes to choose from and heaps of ways to cook each one. Once a meal has been prepared the chef will be graded by the customer and given a rating and gain experience. With the experience, the player can purchase more advanced recipe books that hold more difficult recipes to make and meals to prepare. The player can only cook something if he has the recipe for it. The recipe books can come in different styles like for example: Japanese or Mediterranean food.
