Make the recipes to win the maximum number of points. To make a recipe, you must have a recipe card and all the ingredient cards necessary to prepare the dish. Each player receives 7 cards, dealt face down showing the "Kitchen Closed" side. Next, 9 cards are placed face up in the middle of the table, laid out in a square. The remaining cards are put face down in a pile. When game starts players can swap the cards in their hand for cards that are in the middle of the table. They can do this as many times as they like, but always one by one. When a player has a recipe card and all the necessary ingredients to make it, they shout: ‘A la cuisine!’. When there are no more cards left in the pile the game is over. Then, the players add up the values of all the recipe cards they have completed. The player who gets the highest score wins the game.
