While you don’t see in-depth cooking features in games too often, it’s oddly satisfying when the mechanic does make an appearance. There are even dedicated cooking games that throw action and adventure out the window, in favor of a realistic experience in which you must gather materials for your next recipe. That got us thinking — which games make cooking the most fun? No, you don’t actually get to taste your virtual dishes, but making a meal in games can hit the spot all the same. Here are our picks for the best cooking games, ranging from straightforward cooking sims to engaging distractions in RPGs and action games.

The first thing you think of when discussing Minecraft is probably not its cooking features, but the wildly popular sandbox game absolutely has a place on this list. Not only do you have to mix together the right ingredients for specific recipes, but you must gather the materials for them out in the world. Depending on what you mix together and how you do so, you’ll get certain rewards for your efforts. You can almost focus solely on cooking if you’d like, since it’s so deep. While playing in Survival mode, you have to eat, so make sure you’ve got all the necessary nutrients on you to keep from starving. There’s even a rating system for each piece of food, from poor — which includes junk food — to good — featuring steak and spider eyes.

Fun fact: BurgerTime was originally called Hamburger in Japan. Just Hamburger.
