Let me tell you how to play:
1- Decide between you & your bf/gf: Who will play chef?
2- The 'chef' lists down the ingredients needed to make the dish. More fun, if the dish is not revealed yet. Prep the ingredients.
3- Get on Skype/ Zoom/ Facetime. But, KEEP YOUR CAM OFF!
4- As the 'chef' cooks, make sure he/she gives verbal instruction ONLY! The other person will follow along with the 'chef'. Q & A is allowed!
5- Done with the dishes? Reveal them & enjoy your meal together on call.
Tip: Record the whole process so you & your partner can laugh over the chaos later!
