COOKING meets RACING!!!
=======================

It doesn't get any better. Select a Course you wish to Race/Prepare, gather ingredients and put them on the cooker. Then, while it's simmering or roasting, burn some rubber and race a full lap to be the Winner who Serves Dinner!

Dinner for Two!
=======================
Best played with 2 players. Just tap one of the unused control device's buttons to join any time, and the screen will split.

Controls
=======================
Jump in a random car by pressing a button on the Controller, then drive with the triggers. Needs an analog stick.
Keyboard users can use WASD and Space or Cursor Keys and Return to Play. Space or Return and Button A can be used to discard ingredients you accidentally picked up.

How to Cook
=======================
Each Stage has a different number of ~~cylinders~~ flames burning on your cooking station. Fill all of them with Ingredients *in an interesting composition* that fits the current course... e.g. olives for Appetizers are a good choice, but what do they best go with?

How to Race
=======================
Once your cooker is full, the race begins! (while your opponent still has a chance to finish their recipe and then catch up!) Cross through all the checkpoints in order, and then the finish line to be declared the winner! Follow the arrows/chevrons if you don't know where to go. There is a beep for every correct checkpoint (if there is none, you either have already been there, or need to do an earlier one first)

The Cast
=======================
Jamie Chadwick-Oliver
----------

They are young shooting star of the kitchen cirquit, and truly are all about fast food!

Gordon Ramsay-Johncock
----------

His cooking has become the gold standard, quite literally. Don't worry, he only barks at cooks.

Nigella Mansell
----------

A Formula 1 gourmet turned renowned retro cook, flipping crêpes and Volkswagens alike.

Auguste Doriot au Escoffier
----------

The grand maître of old, one of the first racers, and the first great cooks.

The Shops
==================
Shops will dispense random items from their category.

Known Issues
=======================
- glitch: sometimes the controllers don't bind to players - restart the game or play with keyboard
- glitch: sounds may click on HTML5 build
- glitch: the critic reviews at the end can be a little random, but aren't they always?
- advice: don't drive far off-track, we didn't have time to put boundaries in so it will look way weird.
- typos: yes, I know now it is relevés and entrée. If you find more typos, you may keep them.

Changes
-----------
- 1.0.1: Clicking Sound Fixed for web, mac build added
- 1.0.2: The Cheese & Salad track had a wrong prefab and thus no Dairy shop. No, we couldn't let that slide. :)
