Cooking Live: Restaurant diary in IOS

Enjoy the time management

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

85/100

Cooking Live is a vibrant take on the time-management genre that feels like it has a real heart. Unlike many cooking games that are just endless cycles of clicking, this one weaves in a compelling narrative about a travel vlogger named Jane who travels the world to save struggling, local restaurants from 'soulless corporations.' This story-driven approach makes every level feel like you’re actually helping a character, which kept me much more engaged than I expected.

The gameplay itself is classic time-management—flipping burgers, prepping pizza, and juggling customer orders under pressure. It’s hectic in the best way possible. I also loved the interior design element; being able to customize the restaurants as you restore them adds a nice layer of creative progression. The graphics are charming and the characters feel lively. If you’re a fan of Diner Dash or Cooking Diary, Cooking Live offers enough unique flavor through its blogging theme and character-driven plot to earn a permanent spot on your device.
