100% Mobile Yummy

There are certain activities that clearly make great gaming concepts. Car racing, sports, fighting – it's easy to see how those kind of actions could be interpreted into pixels and thumb controls.

But casting a cursory glance over gaming history, there are very few culinary titles. Which is no big surprise, since a coin-op cabinet, a joystick, a mouse and keyboard really don't stand out as virtual kitchen utensils.

But in recent years physically interactive systems like the EyeToy, the Wii, the DS and, of course, the mobile have opened up developer's imaginations to the point at which chopping carrots, folding pastry and frying wontons has made some of the most dynamic handheld games we've seen for a long time.

The list of 100% Mobile Yummy games we've selected for you was surprisingly simple to draw up. These games have become something of a cooking pantheon to rival any mixture of celebrities Gordon Ramsay has abused, so get your apron on, get your elbows off the table and tuck in.
