Find, chop, boil, fry, roast, mix, juice. This is about it. Gourmania is the first of so far three games in which these developers have manage to mix Hidden Object and Time Management games like no other.
In this one here, you get to manage and eventually own seven restaurant which once owned will add to your daily revenue. So it is in your best interest to max out the possible revenue of each restaurant. With the money you earn you can buy new or upgrade your kitchen tools and eventually have enough money to enter the final cooking contest.
To cook you need tor first find your ingredients inside the kitchen, then prepare these (dragging into the pot to boil e.g.) and once done the customer will leave the money on the counter. Not always as easy as it sounds, but not overly difficult either. From what I read in many games forums, a lot of people seem to have problem achieving expert in the first task of the Sushi Restaurant. Some suspect a glitch. I have achieved expert there, but with great difficulties, lots of re-tries and frustration. The key is in the queuing.
The game is quite old, so don't expect the graphics to be too outstanding, but it's ok.
Great fun game and just about the right length. Show less
I recommend this game!

This makes a real change to both my usual HOs (dark and mysterious) and my usual time management games. It's very simple, but challenging enough to be worth playing, and a lot of fun. Only trouble is, I couldn't stop! I've played it to the finish in three days. Not that it hasn't a lot of gameplay, I just put all other games aside while I made my way up in the restaurant business.

I've been playing this game for years and STILL love to come back and play it again.
I love hidden object games that revolve around food, and very few exist, so the Gourmania series is a real treat for me. It's part HO, part time-management. I love how accurate the food process is, getting to choose from a large variety of restaurants, and upgrading the kitchen appliances and utensils. I truly ...Show more

I'm usually not into time management games, but this one was actually good in my opinion- but then again, it closely verges on the side of hidden object because of how you have to "find" the foods (wickedly fast, mind you).
There's different restaurants as well- japanese, pizza, coffee shop, etc.
I recommend this game!
