Get Toca Kitchen for iPhone or iPad for $1.99 on iTunes.

No rules, time limits, high scores or annoying music means no stress when playing (yippee!) and there’s no worry about kids clicking on third-party adverts or in-app pop-ups since there are none (double yippee!). My sous chefs find that last part endlessly hilarious. Turnabout is fair play, right? The app might even suggest alternative prep methods with a thought bubble showing a frying pan, or say “Ew!” when served something especially gross. Guests will eat your food and make comments through happy expressions or grimaces shaking their heads because the food is so bad. That’s right the characters won’t eat everything no matter how much kids try to get them to nosh. 12 ingredients can be prepared 180 different ways (hence the pureed sardines my kids came up with) and only by exploring can kids find out what each character will eat.

In Toca Kitchen 2, there are more than 20 products in the fridge: chicken, sausage. Toca Boca, one of our favorite app designers, is all about playing with your food in the newly released Toca Kitchen.Ĭook, serve and feed four hungry characters–2 human, 2 animal–from the stockpile in the fridge. Once youve finished cooking, your guests can taste the food youve prepared. Good thing I wasn’t the one eating any of it.

I’m usually the one on kitchen duty, but today, my kids served up some fried sausages, microwaved pears, boiled carrots, and um, pureed sardines.
