Just do what the game tells you to do and whablam! You've learned to cook.

No. I'm afraid to tell you that this is the video game and how things work in it don't work in reality.

Well, push B all the time and dodge your way over the kitchen and make the food as fast as you can and make sure to avoid touching your friends at all costs. Aiming at the item you want to get a hold of is also very important.

That's literally what the game is about. Cook and cook fast! Make sure to get better and better! You should play the entire game with a friend, orrrr if you have absolutely no one that wants to play Overcooked with you just play alone and be depressed.
