The Cooking Stand in Family Farm Seaside

The Cooking Stand is a fairly new option in Family Farm Seaside.  It is a Building and, like the Beauty Shop and Kitchen, once built, it cannot be deleted, sold or stored.  Unfortunately, all of these buildings occupy a significant amount of land.  If they occupied less space, it would be far easier for farmers to accommodate them all.  Do you need a Cooking Stand?  Well, obviously you can farm without it, but if you wish to complete all Quests and Missions and obtain all possible Rewards in the game, you will need to build one.

The Cooking Stand is an interactive building that allows neighbours to purchase Dishes from you by tapping on the icon of a Roast Turkey that hovers above the Stand when they visit your Farm.  The Reward for doing so is a Gift Bag that may contain any or all of the items that can be found randomly in any Gift Bag such as the Cleaning Gift Bags or April Rain Gift Bags.

The Cooking Stand operates in a different fashion from any other building in that it is the vehicle for a sort of Bingo game wherein Medals are earned by selling a total of 200 Dishes from each 'Round' in the game.  Four Medals can be earned when the Farmer completes any Round.  The Medals will be placed randomly on the Bingo Card.  You need to have four in a row to win any Reward.

In every Round there is a total of four different Dishes that can be made.  You can make up to 60 of each Dish.  In other words, by requiring only a total of 200 Dishes, you can choose which of 40 possible Dishes NOT to make.

I do not know if every Farmer is given the same list of four Recipes or not.  Whenever a Round is completed, however, one does not advance automatically to the next Round.  When I completed Round 2, I had to wait three days for Round 3 to be unlocked.  It therefore is not particularly to the Farmer's advantage to race through any Round.  Make your Dishes and put them out for the Neighbours to purchase but do not make sacrifices in the form either or RC or ingredients that you may need to complete a specific Quest or Mission in order to complete any Round.

In my game, the four Recipes in the third Round  are as follows:

Butter
Orange Crumble
White Wine Crab
Chocolate Pave

As previously indicated, I need to sell a total of 200 of any combination of these four dishes to complete the 'Round' and earn four Medals that will be distributed randomly on my 'Bingo' Board.

Oddly enough, Chocolate Pave was one of the Recipes in the first round as well.
