Veggie Kebab


The Veggie Kebab is one of the very first dishes you can cook when you start playing Chefville. You use the grill that you start out the game with, and it requires only a couple of ingredients; two tomatoes and two wild mushrooms.

After gathering the required ingredients, click on your grill, and then select Veggie Kebab from the list of possible menu items. Then click start. After clicking start you'll see some food laid out on your grill, and above the grill is floating the things needed to make this recipe. The first ingredient will be bouncing up and down impatiently, click it. Then click the rest of the items in order. You're chef will run right over and start running through the steps to make your dish!

Veggie Kebabs are ready in only 30 seconds, so don't run off! When done you'll here a "ding ding" chime, and your dish's icon will be floating over the grill. Click it to have your chef take the dish and set it on the counter.

Once you've placed the dish on the counter your customers can start ordering it, and your waiter will take over from there. You can then go off to another task, or make more! If you make more of the same item, your chef will stack them up together so that you'll have more servings in one stack.

As you serve a recipe more and more you get better at making the dish, and you are awarded stars for each dish. At the three star level the Veggie Kebab has 30 servings and will net you 90 coins (3 coins per serving).

For some of the dishes, Zynga has given us the recipe that inspired the in game dish. If you feel like making some Veggie Kebab's at home, check out the recipe!

Ingredient: Salmon


The ingredient Salmon is not found right away when you start playing Chefville.

As you progress through the game you start unlocking more properties. A few of them are unlocked during quests, and others you "buy" as you can. You'll notice a little south of your starting area is a small pond that looks as if it has been gift wrapped for you. Once you unlock this area, you'll then be able to unlock the Romance Pond. You fish salmon out of the pond.

Romance Pond
Fishing out of the Romance Pond costs you one energy, and you'll receive one xp and piece of salmon. You'll be able to fish again after 60 minutes.

Salmon is used in six dishes, including; Grilled Salmon, Chirashi, Pesto Salmon, Salmon oBruschetta, Salmon Nigiri, and Rainbow Roll.

You can also harvest at your neighbors pond for a chance to collect more salmon. You can also eat dishes that your neighbors have prepared that use salmon, and you may receive a salmon ingredient also.

Don't confuse Salmon with the Giant Salmon. Giant Salmon are found in the Moon Pond, along with Giant Tuna.

Real Recipe: Veggie Kebabs

Veggie Kebabs
Zynga Executive Chef
Matthew DuTrumble
INGREDIENTS (serves 10)
1 pounds (450 g) wild mushrooms
1 medium-sized heirloom tomatoes
1 large zucchini
1/2 large Vidalia onion
1 large bell peppers
1 medium-sized squash
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup (170 grams) honey or agave
1/2 small bunch Fresh Basil
10 bamboo skewers
DIRECTIONS
  1. Soak the skewers for 45 minutes in water. This will prevent them from burning when grilled.
  2. Cut vegetables into uniform bite sizes pieces and line them up on the skewers. Arrange vegetables to keep like colors separate. Think rainbows! Keep in mind this can be eaten by hand and doesn’t need a knife and fork.
  3. To make the veggie glaze, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (or agave) and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Let the glaze cool down to room temperature. The glaze will become thicker as it cools down but should still be pourable like honey.
  5. While the glaze is still warm, tear up the basil to release its flavor and add it to the glaze.
  6. Grill the kebabs on a grill pre-heated to 400-450°F (205 - 230°C). The goal is to get some grilled flavor and color on a couple sides. This should take under a minute on each side
  7. Once the kebabs look good, plate them and spoon the veggie glaze over the top of the skewer. The veggie glaze will run down and coat the rest of the kebab naturally. Make sure you get plenty of that great basil on there from the glaze.
