Hot Dish - free online game
Hot Dish is a simulation game where you're the chef who cooks up a storm for your customers, including appetizers, entrees and desserts. The most important diners to please are the critics, who give each dish a rating. The higher the ratings, the faster you build your career. The overall aim is to work yourself up to becoming the chef of a world class 5 star restaurant.
The free online version of Hot Dish gives you a taste of how the game basically works. The download trial (which I recommend) gives you many more levels to play with, so you can ensure you like it before purchasing the full version.
