My Cooking Dash Daily Goals Cheat Sheet

I wrote the original post a month ago. When I was writing the intro, I did my due diligence and found out that the OG list is back but on a different site. A dilemma for me. I didn't want to take away any traffic from them when they helped me so much with my game play and my current list would not have been possible if I didn’t have their data to build on anyway. On the other hand, I felt it was a shame for the work I had put in to go to waste. I couldn't decide at the time so I shelved this until I could make a decision. Ultimately, I chose not to post my version since the OG list worked just fine -- it just wasn't tailored to my use case. I'm sharing the original post I wrote but removed the Cheat Sheet portion. Instead I added a screenshot of the word doc I use so you have an idea what it looks like. The list still gets updated occasionally but it'll be kept for private use.

Confession: I am a Cooking Dash junkie. Or maybe junkie isn't the right word. Fanatic? Avid player? Loyal customer?

I've been playing the Cooking Dash reboot since its launch in 2016. I enjoy it because it allows me to disengage and focus on the game without requiring too many brain cells. Even when school got really busy, I would play the game during my break times. I’ve long since finished all the restaurants/shows but I still play the game from time to time to collect gold. I have a tendency towards completism, so of course I want to purchase all the auto chefs, outfits, and shop upgrades. 

When I first began playing the game regularly, I got frustrated having to keep searching for specific episodes to achieve the daily goals so I started a list. Years later I realized other people probably did the same and already did all the finger work. I searched good ol’ internet and there it was: my holy grail. 

My old list was left in the dust and rarely updated, and I became a frequent visitor of that website until May 2020 WHEN IT SUDDENLY WENT POOF. Gone! Disappeared! I was dismayed. After I spent days doing it the old-fashioned way and occasionally using my lackluster list, I tried my luck on the internet, and nope it's still gone. But I did stumble on a community forum where one kind commenter linked the dead site’s Web Archive. I copied the info onto a word document and have since added info from my old list, reformatted, edited, and personalized it for my own ease of use. Which I am now sharing to you. Because sharing is caring! This is not an exhaustive list and it is far from complete. I still play the game regularly but I don't update my list every time. I promise to do better and will update *this* posted list whenever I can. 

Before you jump into the list, a quick primer. Restaurants and recipes are listed alphabetically. The 3-digit numbers refer to season and episode, as one sometimes does when referring to multi-season TV shows. Numbers in parenthesis refer to number of recipe appearances. 

Example: Candied Brain - 312 (5x) means Candied Brain appears 5x in Season 3 episode 12 of Adventurous eats. 

P.S. 

Don't judge me too hard. I had months of pandemic quarantine downtime and anxiety-driven procrastination to work on this (instead of, yunno, something actually productive like studying). XD
