Released in 2009 for the Wii, Cook or Be Cooked is a cooking simulator developed by Red Fly Studio in partnership with the Food Network. Players work through more than 30 recipes spanning breakfast, family meals, and dinner party menus, using Wii controls to perform actions such as cutting, slicing, and dicing ingredients. The game incorporates instruction from real Food Network personalities, including Next Food Network Star judge Susie Fogelson and Food Network Kitchens chef Mory Thomas, who provide tips, techniques, and feedback on completed dishes. A multiplayer mode allows players to cook cooperatively or competitively with others, while a solo mode is also available. The recipes and guidance are drawn directly from Food Network Kitchens, positioning the title as both an entertainment product and a practical introduction to cooking fundamentals.
