Cooking Mama Cuisine helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility: Trying something new. 

Every recipe in the game is discovered by choosing a random variety of ingredients and seeing what you can create. This means that the player needs to use their flexibility skills and be willing to choose ingredients that are different from what they would normally choose, even if they are items they would not eat in real life. Without this flexibility, the player may not be able to unlock all of the recipes in the game and will find themselves repeating the same cooking techniques over and over again. 

Time Management: Working under pressure. 

Most of the challenges in Cooking Mama Cuisine are timed, meaning the player needs to have the ability to work under pressure. Whether you are pan searing a steak, adjusting the temperature on an oven, or peeling carrots, the number of stars you earn at the end of the preparation will depend on how well you were able to execute the task within the time limit. For players who struggle with time management, they may find that they need to cook certain recipes a few times before they are able to move on. The game will begin with fewer ingredients and recipes so it will be easy for the player to practice this skill before moving on to more complex recipes with multiple ingredients.
