Cafe World 'The Banquet' Catering Order: Everything you need to know
Cafe World The Banquet Catering Order
Still working on that Corporate Luncheon? We know, life is rough, which is why Zynga introduced a much lighter order for you to handle in Cafe World, 'The Banquet.' It's sounds plenty more daunting than it actually is, so let's right on with it so you can score those coveted three stars and the Veggie Sushi recipe.
Join us behind the break for a guide on completing this brief, surprisingly simple Catering Order.
Crackling Peking Duck White Radish Cake Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail
This exquisite order can only be started after you've completed the Corporate Luncheon within 10 days and requires that you be at least Level 13 to cook the Crackling Peking Duck (wait... what?*). The order calls for just three different dishes:
Crackling Peking Duck: 80 servings, cooks in 18 hours
White Radish Cake: 40 servings, cooks in 24 hours
Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail: 80 servings, cooks in 30 minutes
While this order only allows for six fellow caterers, you honestly shouldn't need more than that considering how small this job is. Of course, this order requires some additional materials, five Serving Plates and 5 Steam Trays. Fortunately, you can ask your six fellow caterers for these items. Here's what you'll get for finishing this order within the three time limits:
Within Three Days: 1,621 Cafe Points, 24,313 coins, Veggie Sushi recipe
Within Seven Days: 1,158 Cafe Points, 17,366 coins
More than Seven Days: 694 Cafe Points, 10,420 coins
Employing the good old trick of waiting until the dishes are nearly finished before accepting the order will get this job done with three stars in no time. Enjoy one of the easiest Catering Orders you'll probably ever have to complete.
*With Cafe Point rewards this low, The Banquet would have been perfect for new caterers, but since it requires you to complete the Corporate Luncheon before tackling it, that idea is out of the window. That must be why the reward for completing the order with three stars is a brand new, low level, 900 coin recipe. Wait, that doesn't add up either. Well, you're probably going to need to finish this order before you can move on to the next, so you might as well get it over with and get a new recipe to master.

Zynga giving away 250 Cafe Cash on Cafe World fan page for Mother's Day
While many Cafe World players will fondly remember the days of mass amounts of free Cafe Cash, the supply has slowed in recent months. This makes Zynga's announcement all the more exciting - on Mother's Day, to celebrate mothers, Zynga will throw five separate Trivia Giveaways on the Cafe World fan page on Facebook.
These trivia giveaways will likely be about Cafe World and its features, although Community Manager Pinky Chefcadero didn't exactly make the theme clear. What we do know, however, is that these contests will be held from 12 PM PST to 8 PM PST on Sunday, May 8 - Mother's Day proper. Also, if you play the game anytime this weekend, you'll receive two free Instant Spices, just as a way for the Cafe World team to say "thanks" for our patience and continued support.
Each of these five trivia giveaways will offer 50 Cafe Cash as the final prize, which is enough to purchase either a ton of additional spices for your cafe, or even finish most of a Catering Order for you automatically (among dozens of other opportunities). Since contests like this don't come around very often, you might want to set your alarms for 12PM tomorrow - just make sure you spend some quality time with mom first, before abandoning her for the Cafe World fun.

Cafe World Pizza Oven Goals VIII - XIII: Everything you need to know
Similar to the situation with the Deep Fryer in Cafe World, which saw an initial set of missions released, only to be added to about a month later, Zynga has done the same thing with our Pizza Oven. The first set of Pizza Oven goals took us through Parts I - VII, but now, we've been given parts VIII - XIII (that's 8-13), which will grant us three new recipes in addition to those pizza dishes we already unlocked in the past, according to Di's Mingle Network.
To start, Part VIII of XIII has us starting simply, all things considered.
Cook Meat Craver's Pizza
Ask for 3 Tomatoes
Ask for 4 Cups of Flour
We're all used to these sorts of requirements by now - simply prepare four Meat Craver's Pizzas, which take 12 hours to prepare, and then ask your friends to send you the ingredients you need.
Part IX of XIII is a similar setup, in that you'll need to serve items and collect ingredients, but this time around, you'll receive a new recipe at the end, so it seems a bit more worth it.
Ask for 4 Pineapples
Ask for 4 Mozzarella
Serve 14 Pita and Dolmas
Pita and Dolmas can be cooked for 1100 coins, and is ready after four hours. Remember to check your Gift Box to see if you have any extra servings so that you can skip the waiting time. For finishing this goal, you'll receive the Pineapple and Ham Pizza recipe, which takes a whopping two days to cook, and costs 6000 coins.
Moving on, Part X of XIII marks the halfway point, and is simply a time-sink, rather than anything offering you another free recipe (those come later).
Serve 10 Margherita Pizzas
Ask for 5 Tomatoes
Ask for 5 Onions
Margherita Pizzas costs 1300 coins to prepare, but is ready after just 30 minutes, so at least this high quantity won't take you too long to get through.
For Part XI of XIII, we've past the halfway point, and will receive another new recipe for completing the following:
Ask for 6 Green Peppers
Spice 5 of your Neighbors Stoves
Serve 6 Margherita Pizzas
At least we only have to ask for six ingredients this time around. As for the other task, simply head to your friends' cafes and click on any stove that isn't already glowing to "spice" it. Finishing this mission unlocks the Green Pepper Pizza recipe, a pizza that costs 2300 coins to cook, and takes two hours to prepare.
We're almost done as we reach Part XII of XIII, which is more about serving food than collecting ingredients, but that's represented here too.
Serve 5 Green Pepper Pizzas
Ask for 5 Mozzarella
Serve 8 Sausage Deep Dish Pizzas
Sausage Deep Dish Pizzas cost 1000 coins to prepare, and are ready after four hours. Again, no free recipe for this goal, but you are looking at receiving one more, so keep it up!
Finally, Part XIII of XIII marks the current end for the Pizza Oven Goal series, and sees you collecting the most ingredients of any one goal yet.
Ask for 10 Cups of Flour
Ask for 10 Mushrooms
Serve 5 Green Pepper Pizzas
Your reward for this mission is the Veggie Calzone. Not technically a normal pizza, but it's definitely something you might see served in such a restaurant, or listed under the Italian portion of a restaurant's menu. You'll be able to cook the Veggie Calzone for 1400 coins, and come back to serve it 22 hours later.
All told, you're looking at another fairly time-consuming mission series, even if only for the fact that you'll have to wait for so many items to be sent to you from friends. Will we ever see a mission series that can be completed mostly on our own? I doubt it, but I suppose there's always hope.

Cafe World Book Club Brunch Catering Order: Everything you need to know
While summer may be a time for outdoor activities, if you're the kind that would rather sit inside and curl up with a good book, Cafe World has a new catering order that's just for you. The Book Club Brunch sees you catering a book club's meeting, with the prize being a novel meal in the form of a Book Party Plate (fruits, cheeses, and what appear to be crackers).
In order to earn this new recipe, you'll need to complete this order's five tasks. While only two of these five tasks are actual cooking requirements (the other three have you collecting items from friends), you'll soon see that this isn't as good of news as you might have hoped to hear. Meet us behind the break to see just what you'll need to do here to walk away with a new recipe.
For the Book Club Brunch order, you'll need to serve two dishes: Stuffed Mushrooms (a 24-hour dish) 108 times and Impossible Quiche (a 48-hour dish) 77 times. In this is where things get tricky. Sure, you only have two dishes to cook, but one dish could take two hours itself to finish! If you're a lower-level player, that doesn't have dozens of stoves to cook on, or even more spices to use in speeding up their cooking times, you'll be lucky to finish this one with the three star rating (through no fault of your own).
You can bring up to 13 of your friends in to this order with you, and while you're all cooking, you can personally ask your friends to help you collect 22 Bookmarks, 11 Highlighters and 11 Reading Lights. If you can finish both dishes and collect all of these items within three days, you'll receive the three-star rating, 12 Catering Points, 6300 Cafe Points, 75,000 coins and the Book Party Platter recipe I mentioned earlier.
Unfortunately, if you don't finish in under three days, you won't receive the recipe as a prize. If you can finish within five days, however, you'll still receive 8 Catering Points, 4,500 Cafe Points and 50,000 coins. Finally, if you finish at any point after the first five days have elapsed, you'll receive a single star, 4 Catering Points, 2,700 Cafe Points and 30,000 coins.
Remember, these dishes, while low in quantity required, take a heck of a long time to cook and serve. Make sure you're ready with a slew of spices and tons of friends on hand to make this one work. Good luck!

Farmers Insurance soars back to FarmVille, CityVille et al this summer
The zeppelin is back, baby. (But unfortunately not that Zeppelin.) Farmers Insurance has announced that it will soon return to FarmVille this month with the familiar "Win a Ride on the Farmers Airship" promotion. We hope this will ring in the return of the Farmers Airship to the farm and some free wither protection with it. During that time, farmers will be able to "Like" the Farmers Insurance Facebook page again for a chance to ride the real Farmers Airship. But this time, Zynga plans on taking the company ship for a tour around its stable of games.
Soon after the FarmVille promotion returns, Farmers Insurance will find its way into CityVille, Cafe World and Mafia Wars over the next four months, though the company isn't ready just yet to spill all the beans. However, what we do know is big prizes are in store for Zynga gamers, not to mention that Farmers Insurance agents nationwide will jump in on the fun through their own Facebook pages.
"Millions of Farmers Airships were placed on FarmVille farms," Marc Zeitlin, Farmers Insurance VP of e-Business, said in a statement. "FarmVille players were exposed to the Farmers brand billions of times, raising our Facebook fan base by more than 100,000 in the first week of the promotion. It was one of the most successful things we've done from a branding perspective." Now do you see why Farmers and, um, us farmers are such a good fit? It's not just the name!

Cafe World Super Lost Pages Goals: Everything you need to know
Part two of the Grandma's Lost Recipes event in Cafe World will see you completing a Super Lost Pages goals, which coincide with the Grandma's Lost Pages goals we told you about earlier today. As a recap to the event, you'll need to complete both of these goal series within the next two weeks in an effort to receive a new 4X Lightning Stove, up to eight new recipes, and even an exclusive decoration for Grandma. This feature includes a new building project - a Doghouse for Grandma's dog Sally - and a new setup that may change the dishes you're actually required to cook to something randomly chosen from your available dishes.
Now that you're back up to speed, let's jump straight into the Super Lost Pages goals - a five part goal series that is admittedly harder than its predecessor, but apparently worth the difficulty in the end (says Zynga).
Super Lost Pages 1:
Serve 15 French Onion Soups
Spice 8 of Your Own Dishes
Ask for 5 Dusty Recipe Sheets
Note: There appear to be some discrepancies with these tasks. The tasks above are according to Zynga, but in my own game, this first goal replaces the spicing dishes requirement with placing the Doghouse. Keep that in mind.
Super Lost Pages 2:
Serve 20 Angel Food Cakes
Ask for 7 Old Recipe Sheets
Ask for 6 Super Lost Pages
Unlike the "regular" Lost Pages that were required for the Grandma's Lost Pages goals, these "Super" Lost Pages are much more exclusive. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unless you have a ton of active friends, you might be slowed down a bit here, as you'll only be able to request additional Super Lost Pages from the same friend once every 36 hours, rather than once every day as normal.
Super Lost Pages 3:
Serve 25 Chashu Ramen
Spice 10 of Your Own Dishes
Ask for 10 Old Recipe Sheets
Fairly self explanatory, just ask your friends for additional Old Recipe Sheets and you'll be able to finish this one off with (hopefully) little difficulty.
Super Lost Pages 4:
Serve 3 Pulled Pork
Serve 30 Chicken Adobo
Ask for 8 more Super Lost Pages
As in past events, you'll need to finish this goal by having 14 Super Lost Pages in total, but will be able to carry over your six from the second goal in this series, leaving you to gather only eight more now.
Super Lost Pages 5:
Serve 3 Dishes with the Pastry Station
Serve 35 Pumpkin Pies
Ask for 12 Old Recipe Sheets
For finishing this goal (and therefore the entire series), you'll receive a mystery prize which we've been told will be one of the eight new dishes you can receive through this goal series. You'll also receive the Grandma's Easy Chair decoration, so that Grandma can have somewhere to rest her tired feet after spending so much time digging through old cookbooks in your cafe.
Again, these goals are repeatable, but only available for a limited time (a little under two weeks). If you're not a fan of either of these goal series, there's also a new themed Catering Order to complete in this event as well, and we'll bring you a guide to finishing it just as soon as we can. Keep checking back chefs!

Cafe World Manny's Mobile Meal Catering Order: Everything you need to know
Last week, we gave you a look at the second portion of the Cafe World two-year anniversary event, which takes us to the Philippines to help Manny on a Journey. While that may have been an already complex series of goals (and even a building project), Manny's story becomes even more in-depth today, as the accompanying catering order has finally launched. This order asks you to cook up a storm for a Filipino feast, and comes with the usual free recipe for completing this order with a three star rating.
Unfortunately, this is another order that will likely be impossible for some chefs to complete, unless they've already completed Manny's goals enough times to unlock all of the new Filipino recipes launched in this particular event. To be specific, you'll need to serve Lechon 475 times, Sisig 45 times and Filipino Paella 140 times. I suppose you could get lucky and have some really, really helpful friends do the cooking in these tasks for you (while you showered them with thanks, of course), or you could even pay your way through the goals with Cafe Cash to unlock the dishes more quickly that way. Either way, you're looking at some lengthy gameplay before you can even be eligible for completing this catering order on your own.
While you're cooking (or waiting on your friends to cook), you can ask your friends for the two collectible items in this order: 12 Monster Skewers and 16 Banana Leaves. Both of these are earned by sending out individual requests to friends, so earning all 28 may take you a few days, depending on the number of neighbors you have available to ask for help.
If you can complete this entire order within the first three days, you'll earn the three-star rating, 12 Catering Points, 3,200 Cafe Points, 70,000 coins and the Cassava Cake recipe. In addition, since this order is technically part of the two-year anniversary event, finishing with the three star rating also gives you a bonus of 10,000 Travel Passes. If three days proves to be too short, but you can finish within five days, you'll receive two stars, 8 Catering Points, 2,300 Cafe Points and 50,000 coins. Finally, if you finish at any point after the first five days have passed, you'll receive just a single star, 4 Catering Points, 1,400 Cafe Points and 30,000 coins. Again, you must finish with the three star rating to unlock the new recipe and the extra Travel Passes, so feel free to "cancel" your order if you run out of time and start over for another try.
What do you think of this newest catering order? How many of these three required dishes have you already unlocked in your cafe? Let us know in the comments.

If three days proves to be too short, but you can finish within five days, you'll receive two stars, 8 Catering Points, 2,300 Cafe Points and 50,000 coins. Finally, if you finish at any point after the first five days have passed, you'll receive just a single star, 4 Catering Points, 1,400 Cafe Points and 30,000 coins. Again, you must finish with the three star rating to unlock the new recipe and the extra Travel Passes, so feel free to "cancel" your order if you run out of time and start over for another try.
What do you think of this newest catering order? How many of these three required dishes have you already unlocked in your cafe? Let us know in the comments.

Cafe World Farmers Insurance promotion comes with Professor Burke Statue
If anything, the folks at Zynga definitely know how to setup a good cross-promotion. After Capital One recently set up shop in a slew of Zynga's games (and practically took over FarmVille), we now see a new promotion launching in Cafe World with another company: Farmers Insurance (remember, we were told that Farmers would be making an appearance in the game back in June). If you watch a lot of TV, you might recognize this promotion's mascot of sorts - Professor Burke - from recent Farmers Insurance commercials.
Now, Professor Burke has come to your cafe as a character and as a statue, plated in gold. This "Professor Burke Statue" has a limited time of effectiveness, but will "insure" your cafe, granting you spoil protection on all of the dishes you cook from now until October 2. Luckily, the statue is free, and it doesn't require any "building" to gain its effect. You can either simply place the statue from the in-game pop-up that appears, or you can head into the game's build menu manually to drag your free statue out and into your cafe.
If there's one thing to remember about this, it isn't that the statue itself comes with a time limit that can be turned on and off depending on when you place it in your cafe; rather, it's a case where you'll want to place it in your cafe as soon as possible as the overall countdown timer ticks down until October 2. If the Farmers Insurance promotion grows in Cafe World, we'll make sure to let you know.
Would you have liked the Professor Burke Statue to have another effect, rather than wither protection? Or, will you take advantage of this opportunity to cook some quickly cooking dishes while you're busy doing other things since they won't spoil? Sound off in the comments.

Cafe World Red Phone Booth Goals: Everything you need to know
While we all have plenty of goals on our plate in Cafe World right now, what with the release of not one, but two five-part goal series dealing with the game's two-year anniversary, there's another goal series to complete concerning a Red Phone Booth. To be fair, this trio of goals deals with the two-year anniversary event itself, in that it will give you a bonus on all of the Travel Passes you earn. Remember, collecting more Travel Passes gives you a better opportunity of earning prizes both in-game (stoves and the like) and in the real world (trips to exotic locales). Here's a complete look at the Red Phone Booth goals.
Also, this is another case where the dishes you're asked to serve will likely vary from those listed here. It is impossible for us to predict which dishes each individual user will be required to cook, but for that we apologize.
Phone a Friend 1
* Place Red Phone Booth
* Serve 12 Biscuits of Tomorrow
* Call 3 Friends from your Phone Booth
Luckily, even though the Red Phone Booth is an item we'll place in our cafes, it doesn't need to be built like other items. Instead, you'll be able to look inside it and post messages ("phone calls") to your friends' walls. If they agree to be your Travel Buddy (it looks like you can collect 30 Travel Buddies in all), you'll earn points. As you earn Travel Buddies, you'll unlock items, as seen below:
3 Travel Buddies: Crispy Egg Rolls
6 Travel Buddies: Ivory Lightning Stove
10 Travel Buddies: Pineapple Cake
15 Travel Buddies: Double Travel Passes
Phone a Friend 2
* Call 6 Friends from your Phone Booth
* Spice 10 Neighbors' Stoves
* Serve 10 Napoleon's Napoleon
Remember, if you want to rush your way through this goal series to get back to the main two-year anniversary goals, you can use spices on your own dishes to make them cook faster. You can also check out your Gift Box to make sure you don't have extra servings lying around that you can use to instantly skip any cooking time here.
Phone a Friend 3
* Call 10 Friends from your Phone Booth
* Spice 10 Neighbors' Stoves
* Serve 15 Basil Finger Sandwiches
Again, this goal is fairly self-explanatory; just head inside your Red Phone Booth to post messages to your friends' walls, thus fulfilling the "call" task, and you'll be able to finish this one off basically in the time it takes to cook the dish you're required to. After that's done, you'll be able to celebrate by (hopefully) unlocking the double Travel Passes boost in your cafe, and can go back to completing tasks in the two-year anniversary event. Happy Cooking!
What do you think of these Red Phone Booth goals? Do you think they have a real purpose, or should the Phone Booth have been released without them? Sound off in the comments.

Cafe World 2 Year Anniversary Winston's Royals Goals: Everything you need to know
I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, chefs (I really do), but it looks like there's a new goal series - actually, an entire event - now taking place in Cafe World celebrating the game's two year anniversary. Via this (apparently first?) goal series, you'll be helping Winston prepare a feast fit for a King, because you are indeed cooking for Royals (our anniversary celebration includes a vacation to Britain). There are new dishes up for grabs in these goals, and if you can finish them all within the next 18 days, you'll have the ability to repeat them to earn all of the dishes therein. Yes, that's right, two of your favorite things are present here - repeatable goals and a time limit. While I know that not all of you out there are opposed to such things, there are plenty more who are, so we'll try to help you through these goals at least once with our guide.
Winston's Royals 1
* Ask for 3 old British Recipe Cards
* Spice 6 of your own dishes
* Place the High Table Tea Party
First, the High Table Tea Party is a new building project that we'll have a guide for as soon as possible and you can check out our guide to building it right here. In the meantime, don't panic about the spice task; if you have any extra Salts or Peppers lying around, just use those. Meanwhile, as your friends for the Recipe Cards. Finishing this goal gives you five Travel Passes. These are a huge element of this event, as they'll give you a chance to win real-world prizes like trips "around the world," or in-game items like Stoves and Cafe Cash, and you'll have the ability to collect literally hundreds of them throughout the entirety of this event.
Winston's Royals 2
* Ask for 4 British Postcards
* Collect 2 Anniversary Collection Items
* Serve 10 French Onion Soups
French Onion Soup can be served after four hours. Meanwhile, the Anniversary Collection comes with five new items that you can earn by using spices on your dishes. Finishing this goal gives you 10 more Travel Passes.
Winston's Royals 3
* Ask for 6 Old British Recipe Cards
* Spice 10 Neighbor Dishes
* Serve 15 Angel Fruit Cakes
Angel Fruit Cake takes 8 hours to cook. Also, when visiting your neighbors, make sure to spice cooking dishes, and not just stoves. It's possible the latter would count, but there's always a chance that it won't. Better safe than sorry, no? Finish off this third goal and you'll earn - you guessed it - more Travel Passes, 15 to be exact.
Winston's Royals 4
* Ask for 7 British Postcards
* Serve 2 Dishes with the Pastry Station
* Serve 25 Gem Cakes
Here's where things get a bit complicated, as you'll have to worry about cooking dishes on your stoves and in the Pastry Station. If you've yet to build your Pastry Station, here's a complete guide to doing so. As for the Gem Cake, it takes 12 hours to prepare. Finish off this goal for 20 more Travel Passes.
Winston's Royals 5
* Ask for 10 Old British Recipe Cards
* Serve 18 Chocolate Creme Brulee
* Complete the High Tea Party Table
Chocolate Creme Brulee is a specialty coffee drink found in the Coffee Machine. You will need to have hired Becky the Barista in order to unlock it. For finishing off this last goal, you'll receive a whopping 500 Travel Passes along with a Mystery Prize in the form of a new recipe. This new recipe will most likely be Yorkshire Pudding, although there are three others that might appear in random order as you repeat the goal series. These are the Bangers and Mash, Shepherd's Pie and Salmon Mousse.
As we mentioned before, Winston's Royals looks to be just the first of many goal series available in this two-year anniversary event. While it's unclear whether or not the 18 days applies to just Winston's Royals, or to the entire event, we do know that we'll eventually travel to other countries and unlock other rewards. In the meantime, here's a complete checklist of the "British" tasks you can complete, which can be found in your own game at any time (click on the airline ticket in the right-side menu).
Good luck completing these goals and earning all of the rewards in time!

Cafe World Designing Lisa Goals: Everything you need to know
A new goal series has shown up on the official Cafe World forums, but I personally don't have it in my game yet. Does this mean the goals are unreleased, or could they just be on a slow rollout? Either way, here's a look at the Designing Lisa goal series in Cafe World, which may or may not require you to cook different dishes than those listed here. If you're skeptical, just use these as a sort of outline, and wait until the goals actually show up in your game to take them seriously.
Designing Lisa 1
Ask for 8 Cloth Swatches
Serve 10 BBQ Chicken
Ask for 8 Paint Sample Cards
Apparently, Lisa is an interior design student, and wants to practice some of her skills inside your cafe. You'll need to help her do just that by asking your friends for the Swatches and the Paint Sample Cards, along with cooking BBQ Chicken, which takes five hours to cook.
Designing Lisa 2
Serve 30 Corndogs
Purchase 3 New Tables
Purchase 3 New Chairs
It doesn't look to matter which table or chair type you purchase, so feel free to purchase the cheapest ones available. Meanwhile, Corndogs take just one hour to prepare.
Designing Lisa 3
Purchase 3 New Floor Tiles
Ask for 8 Blue Rotini
Ask for 8 Red Farfalle
Don't worry about ruining your flooring, chefs. As soon as you purchase these floor tiles (perhaps after you finish this goal), you'll be able to swap them back out for your original floor tiles. Again, it doesn't seem to matter which floor tile you purchase, so save some coins and go cheap. For finishing this goal, you'll receive the Three-Color Pasta recipe for cooking in your cafe.
Designing Lisa 4
Serve Three-Color Pasta 12 Times
Ask for 6 Mixed Greens
Ask for 10 Dandelions
If you don't want to wait the six hours it takes Three-Color Pasta to cook, you can ask for these servings as well. For finishing this goal, you'll earn another new recipe: Dandelion Salad.
Designing Lisa 5
Purchase 3 New Wall Tiles
Serve 10 Kabayaki
Serve Dandelion Salad 40 Times
Kabayaki takes 12 hours to cook, but remember to bust out some spices or extra servings from your Gift Box if you're not in the mood to wait.
Designing Lisa 6
Ask for 10 Sea Scallops
Serve 16 Cranberry Casseroles
Ask for 8 Creme Fraiche
The Cranberry Casserole dish is earned by completing the Picnic at the Park catering order with a three star rating. It takes six hours to cook. Yet again, you'll be given a new recipe for completing this goal: Fancy Gourmet Sampler.
Designing Lisa 7
Serve Cup o' Joe 5 Times
Serve 12 Osso Bucco
Serve Fancy Gourmet Samplers 20 Times
The Osso Bucco takes 18 hours to cook. Meanwhile, you'll earn six servings of Cup o' Joe in a single preparation (costing nine energy), so just make it once and then serve five guests to finish that task off.
Designing Lisa 8
Buy any 3 Decor Items
Serve 45 Eggs Benedict
Master Dandelion Salad Through Level 1
Eggs Benedict takes six hours to cook. With this goal, you will have reached the end of the Designing Lisa series, but this one doesn't go out on a bang. That is, you aren't looking at another new recipe here; rather, just 3,000 coins and 300 Cafe Points.
And there you have it! A fairly standard goal series that will reward you with a couple of recipes for your time. There doesn't look to be a time limit on completing these goals, so feel free to finish that catering order or other goal series you're working on first.
