I decided to create this guide upon finding no 
reliable sources for recipes. Cooking Mama is a 
great game, and I think it definitely deserves
more love. This is my first guide submitted, 
though not neccessarily the first written.
Let's hear it for procrastination!

I'm reluctantly putting up my e-mail for contact 
purposes regarding my FAQ. I ask that you only
e-mail me regarding my FAQ, be it a question for
me to add, an error you've noticed, FAQ theft, 
constructive criticism, etc. (This does not 
include recognition that I am indeed, a 
CHIXXOR1!!1!!11) For the subject line, put in
'RE: FAQ'. Thanks.

| TIPS |

I've picked up a few handy tips during the game.

1. Use the wrist strap. 
   It may seem like a no-brainer, but seriously.
   This game can be very hard on your wrist.

2. The more sensitive, the better.
   I have the sensitivity of the Wiimote cranked
   for this game. It's easier if you don't have
   to smash the Wiimote as hard. Also, when doing
   stuff like cracking eggs or remove carefully, 
   start off by lightly shaking the Wiimote. 
   Always remember than lightly is better than
   heavily.

3. Take advantage of the practice option.
   I never used to be very good at stir frying
   or using the grill. But I practiced, and got
   the hang of it.

4. Try and be as accurate as possible.
   It'll earn you bonus points - handy for
   2p and vs. AI cookoffs.

5. Keep an eye on the timer in the top right.
   If it begins to tick quicker, you don't
   have much time left. Focus on time more
   than accuracy.

6. Watch the smoke.
   For steps that require you to fan and flip
   (ie, the grilled bonito), watch for when
   it starts smoking. That's when it's done.

7. Serve as little as you like.
   With the 'serve as much as you like' step,
   you can do whatever you want. I usually
   click on a few pieces of food then click
   serve. Why not finish off with a nice 
   healthy time bonus? Mama actually doesn't
   care how much you serve - it's just for fun.
   Same goes with decorating.

8. Color is key.
   When deep frying, watch for the food to 
   turn an orange-ish color, then again to a 
   darker orange. That's when you know it's 
   done. Be quick to grab the finished food
   and drop it in the bottom pan, otherwise
   it'll drop. Also, keep an eye on your
   temperature bar - it rises quickly.


| FAQs |

Q: DOES MY SCORE AFFECT WHAT RECIPES I UNLOCK?
A: No. You can get a Try Harder grade and a
   recipe will still be unlocked. Unlike the
   DS version of this game, recipes cannot be
   altered.

So, that was it. I hope you found this in-depth 
FAQ helpful. I'd appreciate any feedback you have,
as this is my first published and complete FAQ.
If you enjoyed cooking with Mama on the Wii, I'd
suggest you try out the DS version. (I haven't
yet got the chance to play it myself, but I
imagine it's pretty good.)
That's it from me though - see you next time!
