Homemade Pizza Cooking

Homemade Pizza Cooking turns a slow weekend into a dinner project. Mia is bored at home and decides to make pizza herself, and the game follows that plan from a bare kitchen counter to a finished pie.

The vegetables are the centre of the recipe. You cut them up and use them to decorate the pizza, so the topping stage is both a prep job and the creative part of the game. The base, sauce and cheese are there, but the look of the pizza comes down to how you lay out what you have chopped.

It is a home cooking game rather than a restaurant one: no orders, no queue and no score to chase. That makes it a good choice for a short, easy session, especially for younger players who want to make something rather than race against anything.

1. Prepare the pizza dough and roll out the base.
2. Spread the sauce and add the cheese.
3. Cut the vegetables.
4. Arrange them on the pizza and bake it for dinner.

Cut the vegetables into similar sizes before you start placing them. Even pieces make it much easier to build a tidy pattern on the base.
