This app contains more of a prep area where plates of different foods can be organized as well as prepared together while using items such as a knife, blender, frying pan, boiling water, and an oven for baking. I do, however, admire the ability to select multiple foods to cook at once - great for making stir fry, complex smoothies, and balanced meals containing protein, vegetables, and bread or potatoes. By trying to make the spherical nature of the potato or broccoli top pop from the screen, the depth and shadows created tend to make the food look grey and aged past its prime. Instead I find the level of authenticity here to be a bit off-putting as the colors used to style these foods, at least when raw, seem bland and unappetizing - possibly an issue as this app strives to create dimensions. I miss the whimsy and charm seen in the artist's representation of good things to eat. Although I find the choice to add these natural touches interesting, I must admit that I find these foods unappetizing compared to the food images used in the original Toca Kitchen.

From the realistic looks of the corn on the cob, whole pineapple, broccoli, and even the skin of a drumstick, these familiar textures and colors can be seen as adding a sense of realism to these selections. The fridge has been expanded as now sixteen foods are available to cook with.

The other major change here is the use of 3D graphics - as also seen in Toca Nature - when representing the three customers, as well as using muted shades of food textures to replicate the ingredients instead of the bright and colorful food illustrations I was fond of in the original app. I admire Toca Boca for their willingness to update their apps as well as to develop new versions of their creations in order to continue to challenge the creativity of young people in their various Toca Hair Salon apps, as well as Toca Kitchen apps - be it Kitchen Monsters, the original Toca Kitchen, and now Toca Kitchen 2.Ī few things have changed from the most recent update of Toca Kitchen specifically the ability to combine ingredients both in the cooking process as well as on the plate to serve. Toca Kitchen 2 is a companion to the popular Toca Kitchen - a favorite digital toy for both children and adults.
