Mary le Chef – Cooking Passion: Walkthrough and Tips




Surprise visit from Emily
The Basics: Mary le Chef -- Cooking Passion is a time management game in which you prepare food and serve it to customers.  This game contains an excellent tutorial at the beginning of the first level.  If you are an experienced player of the Delicious game series, you can skip it, but I advise players less familiar with this type of game to play it through.  


Customers order food and pay for it.   Click on the product requested, then click on the customer to serve it.  Some items require multiple actions.  Counter customers will immediately check out, while table customers take time to eat.
Tip: If you make a mistake and put something on your tray that you don't need, click on it and it will be removed from the tray.



When a customer is waiting to pay you will see an image of bills and coins; the coins represent the tip.  The higher the customer happiness--the more hearts a customer has--the greater the tip.  


Tip: Plan to serve complete orders only, as doing this will give you a bonus of +10 per table or counter customer.

Tip: You will earn a bonus of +10 for checking out two customers at a time at the register, and +20 for three.

The score for the story levels is measured in one, two, or three stars, depending on the amount of points you earn.  You will win the level as long as you earn one star.  The challenge levels have a set amount that must be met, without the option of earning more than one star.


Tip: If you can't reach three stars on a level, you can change the difficulty to a lower setting under the main menu and retry the level.




Challenges and Challenge Levels:
Most levels have a challenge to be completed, and, beginning with the third restaurant, there are challenge levels to complete. Challenges don't have to be completed in the regular story levels, but add points if you do complete it.  Each challenge completed, whether in a challenge level or story level, earns a diamond.

Tip: Sometimes you can't both complete a challenge and get three stars in a story level.  If this happens, you can play the level twice: once to complete the challenge and once to reach three stars.


Menu/Unlocking Items:
The menu is shown before each level.  Each product has varieties that you can unlock.  Clicking on the item on the menu tab will show you how many need to be sold to unlock the next variety.  Once unlocked, you can choose to use the new product.  Each product offers different bonuses, which you can read about on the product's page. To see the item options, click on "menu" at the beginning of the level.   



You will earn the trophy "Deluxe Blender" for unlocking every item on the menu.

You will earn the trophy "Viola Flowers" for serving every item at least once.


You will earn the trophy "British Tea Kettle" for finishing the final level of each restaurant using the first of each item--in other words, using the items that are the standard and not the upgraded ones.



 Mouse

The mouse will appear in every story level.  He will make a squeaky sound, and will appear for a few seconds.  Clicking on him will give you a bonus 100 points.  Unlike in the Delicious games, he does not appear in the same location every time.  There are several possible locations for the mouse to appear during each restaurant.   I have included a screen shot of all possible locations for each restaurant.   You can earn a trophy (Fresh Milk) for finding him in all 60 of the story levels.



Shop:
The shop is accessed at the beginning of each level.  Clicking on an item will tell you what bonus it gives, or what it does. Money is earned by earning stars on the story levels.  You earn 100 for each star.  You will need to earn three stars on at least some of the levels to have enough to buy all the decorations.  Buying all decorations will earn the trophy Balsam Flowers.

Tip:  You can easily get through the first restaurant without the bonuses from the decorations.  Save your decoration money,, and you will be able to buy all the decorations for the second restaurant right at the beginning.



Diamonds

Diamonds are earned for completing each challenge level, and the challenges in the story levels.  Spend them in "My Merry Room" to open the presents. You will earn the trophy Hanging Garden for earning and spending all the diamonds.



Trophies
Trophies are earned in the form of decorations for Mary's kitchen cabinet and can be viewed by clicking the trophy icon at the top of the map screen. Click on the item's outline to see the name of the trophy and what needs to be done to earn it. Most will be earned simply by playing through the game; those that need explanation are listed below.


Kitchen Scale: Have three variations of one product on your tray at the same time.

Tip: Do this in level 7, with the three types of paella.  

British Tea Kettle: See the menu/unlocking items section.


Chicken Timer: Find the Golden Egg.  This is located on level 39.  

1: Pick up the three eggs that are in the basket at the start of the level.

  1. I also cannot achieve 3 stars from levels 54 to 60, with the exception of level 59 under Beginners level. I believe an update just became available.

    3. I deleted my game, then redownloaded it from the place I bought it, which was Gamehouse. Where ever you purchased it should have the new update.

  2. Levels 10, 30, and 50 have upgraded items that can't be deleted. How do you complete the level without using these items? Do you let customers leave without serving them?

  3. I can't seem to get the Balsam Flowers on the iPhone version. I have purchased every upgrade in every level. Do you know if there is a glitch?

    1. I don't know if there is a glitch, but I do know that they have released three updates. If it's been a bit since you bought it, you might try deleting it and redownloading it. (Will you loose your progress on iPhone?? You don't on PC.)

      I do seem to remember that I missed one of the upgrades and had a hard time finding the last one. Be sure and revisit the last level of each restaurant and double check for upgrades. Wish I could help more!

    2. i think think the one for luigi's restaurant was somewhere near the glass windows?..I can't remember. I just kept clicking around haha I can't figure out the one for that rooftop restaurant

      Delete
    3. for the rooftop restaurant when clicking on the window on the left, there's a "voice melody" but no "secret found".. I couldn't find a secret on that level, nor could I on the last one with the swimming-pool, although I think I clicked everywhere.
      The others I could find :
      Coat rack on the 1st, bookshelves on the top/right near the jukebox on the 2nd, Bush near the fishes and eggs...

  6. Miriam, i have accidentally found several secrets but cant even remember now, did you find out more? They have had secret items in previous games

  7. British tea kettle is difficult to achieve. The upgraded items are still available during last levels and customers ask for them. If you ignore the customer it take awhile for them to run out of patience. Therefore, you lose more customers and money

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No, you have to go to the menu section before you start the level and downgrade all your menu items to the less fancy version. The customers won't ask for things you haven't selected

      Delete
  8. I was able to get all of the trophies except the balsam flowers. All of my items and restaurants are totally upgraded, but I still can't get the trophy. I went back through all the last levels and downgraded the items. I even used the items that couldn't be downgraded like the recipe paper and the white wine. I was still able to get the British Tea Kettle.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I didn't upgrade the coffee machine throughout 1st restaurant and used only downgraded menu on level 10 (except the soup and newspaper that can downgrade only 1 item) and succeeded but still couldn't get the reward. What do I need to do? Walkthrough that I checked doesn't help at all.

    1. I wish I had an answer for you, but I couldn't get it either! You can contact the developers through Mary le Chef's facebook page and see if they can help. I just gave up on it, though, I'll admit!

    3. I just finished playing this game, and got absolutely all the trophies! When I finished the last 60th level I had to get only 3 trophies, namely: Trophy with rolling pin, British Tea Kettle and Viola Flowers:)

    4. Great! I'm glad to know it's working!

      Delete
    5. And so that you understand, in order for me to earn those last 3 trophies, I had to replay the 60th level 6-7 times (not because of the score, but so that the last item "A Necklace of summer flowers" would open to me). And only after that, these 3 trophies were revealed to me.

    7. Always happy to help;)
      By the way, I'm currently going through the 5th part of the main part of the "Delicious" series of games. There was, so to speak, the last "restaurant", and I think I passed the whole game. And plus, I'm also going through the 7th part about Emily's True Love at the same time, there's also the last restaurant left to go through. I've already gone through all the other parts. They are very exciting!
