I have almost completed all the dishes in Cooking Mama 2 and I’d say it’s more worthwhile playing than the first Cooking Mama (which was the first game I bugged my husband to buy for my DS). Lots of new recipes and new instructions on top of a couple of new features. Some of the original tasks have been modified to make it a little bit harder to get a Gold though it’s still a no-brainer for adults (but I like it).

Help! I’ve unlocked a lot of items but I can’t use them on Mama!
Actually, you can! And here’s how to do it. This is where the Write in Diary function comes in.

You can save an entry in your diary every time you complete a dish, whether you cook with Mama or cook for your friends. The key is to save an entry. After that, go back to the main screen and tap on Write in Diary and choose an entry you’ve just saved. Tap on the bottom screen again and you’ll get a Seal option on the bottom right. Tap on it and you’ll be able to add the items you’ve collected onto the picture just like this screenshot!
