Cookingdom level guide
Cookingdom Level 16 Walkthrough
Level 16 pairs grilled salmon with a full pot of minestrone. Prep the onions and vegetables, let the pot turn into a chunky soup, then grill the salmon and place it directly over the finished minestrone before the broccoli side bowl closes the level.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The level moves from a beach opening into a seaside kitchen with salmon portions, lemons, onions, scallions, carrots, and more vegetables around a large soup pot. The finish adds a broccoli side bowl beside the plated salmon.
- Goal
- Cook the vegetable soup, finish the salmon separately, and plate the fish over the minestrone base with the broccoli on the side.
- Opening
- Stage the salmon and lemons, then chop the onions and scallions before the pot begins to simmer. After that, the level splits into a soup lane and a salmon lane.
- Danger Zone
- The fish looks out of place if it is served before the pot becomes a full chunky soup. The salmon also needs its glazed top and rosemary finish before it is plated.
- Mechanics
- Level 16 merges a full minestrone build with a separately cooked salmon portion, then combines both into one plated dish.
Quick Tips for Cookingdom Level 16 (spoiler-free)
- Let the pot fill with vegetables before you move the salmon onto the plate.
- Finish the salmon with the rosemary after the top has already browned.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
