Cooking Games: The Young Harvester


One of the best cooking games available has little to do with the actual cooking process and much more to do with the hunting and gathering of ingredients. All over the nation and world, small farms produce fresh fruits and vegetables specifically for local consumers. If you want to truly play cooking games, you’ll need the best ingredients available.

How do you find these ingredients? By getting them yourself. Gather up some friends and head out on country roads in search of the real deal. Look for small farms where you’re invited to pick your own strawberries or cut your own pumpkin. Fruit stands along the side of the road will likely have some of the freshest items you’ve ever tasted. Farmer’s markets will give you the choice of fresh eggs, produce and even breads.

If you’ve never experienced anything outside of the supermarket, you’re definitely missing out on some of the best food Mother Nature has ever created. If you can’t find any authentic produce in the countryside, you should always search out local produce in your neighborhood store – it’s almost as good as the real thing.
