Each completed dish scores you 1-3 points, locks in its ingredients for reuse in other dishes, and allows you to take a new dish card. Action cards, drawn at the beginning of a turn, provide ways to add, lose, trade and retrieve ingredient cards. The eight Instant Dishes among the action cards allow players to lock in a common ingredient and score 1 point.

Players can score a cuisine bonus for making multiple dishes from one of the five primary cuisines featured on dish cards (American, Continental, French, Italian and Mexican). The first player to reach a point threshold, which depends on the number of players, wins.

In the team version, players end the round and total their points when the Action card deck has been exhausted.
