Here’s how Zynga announced the feature: “Your cookbook just got better! Now every dish you serve will get you more rewards and bring you closer to becoming a Master Chef!” But what is this cooking mastery, after all?
It is a way for players to “level up” their dishes by continuously cooking them. Each dish has a different number of times it has to be cooked before being mastered but each dish has three mastery levels, each offering its own bonus. Fortunately, the rewards for mastering a dish are the same, so here’s what you get:
Level 1 mastery: Light blue plate for the dish and more servings
Level 2 mastery: Dark blue plate for the dish and more Cafe Points
Level 3 mastery: Golden plate and the dish cooks faster
You can also ask for help from your friends by clicking the “Ask” button – this will post a Cookbook Tip on your wall announcing your friends that you’re trying to master a specific dish. If your neighbors decide to help, your mastery level will increase. Please have in mind, though, that you can only ask for help from your neighbors once per day!
All in all, this new Cafe World feature is simply amazing and will certainly make the game more complex, especially since Zynga also added some icons next to the dishes letting us know which is their country of origin and promising that more features related to that will be introduced soon!
Are you happy with the introduction of the cookbook mastery in the game?
