A free app for Apple iPhone OS that was released on May 1, 2009. The game is a watered down version of the first Cooking Mama game and only featured one recipe: Hamburger Stewed in Tomato Sauce. Over 50 recipes and 300 ingredients in total, introducing sweets and dessert recipes for the first time.

Completing a dish can require playing one minigame, or as many as a dozen. The player's performance is rated when each dish is finished, based on the average result of each minigame. Depending on the final score, the game may award the player a bronze, silver or gold medal. The highest medal earned for each dish is recorded and displayed next to each item on the selection screen. While the controls are generally spot-on, Mama doesn’t demand the same degree of precision from her players; the grading system in the main Let’s Cook mode is extremely generous, forgiving all but the most egregious errors and handing out positive reinforcement at every turn. Tilting a strainer too far and spilling all our carefully cooked rice into the sink, for instance, merited an approving thumbs up and a ‘Not too bad!’ from Mama. It keeps things friendly and accessible for everyone, including younger players, and makes each recipe an experience to enjoy rather than a challenge to overcome.
