Sara's Cooking Class Lentil Soup
Sara's Cooking Class Lentil Soup
Sara's Cooking Class: Lentil Soup is one of the plainer episodes in the series and one of the more useful: it is a real vegetarian soup, built on Italian herbs, that works as written in a kitchen.
It opens with a hunt. The things the recipe needs are listed along the bottom of the screen and have to be dug out of the kitchen before any cooking starts.
After that it follows the pot. Onion, carrot and celery are chopped and softened in olive oil, the garlic, oregano, basil and bay leaf go in after them, and then the lentils go in with the tomatoes and the water. It simmers, the spinach wilts into it at the end, a little vinegar and seasoning go in, and the parsley is the last thing to touch it.
How to play Sara's Cooking Class Lentil Soup
Find it, soften it, simmer it, finish it
- Work through the list at the bottom, opening the fridge and the cupboards.
- Chop the onion, the carrots and the celery.
- Soften them in olive oil, then add the garlic, the oregano, the basil and the bay leaf.
- Tip in the lentils, the tinned tomatoes and enough water, and let the pot simmer.
- Stir the spinach through, add the vinegar and the seasoning, and garnish with parsley.
Controls
Mouse only. The game is Flash running through an emulator, so items are clicked and dragged and a touch screen will not work it.
Tips and strategy
Collect the whole list before lighting anything, because the vegetables want attention once they are in the oil and hunting mid-pan is how a run goes wrong. Give the onion time to turn translucent rather than rushing it along. The spinach goes in at the very end: put it in early and it disappears into the soup.
