Welcome to the first episode of a new series called Magic Moments, this will be spread across medias with video game moments here and anime and cartoons on Retro Retrospective.
The format will be four moments per episode showcasing a moment relating to the theme, so we start with cooking.

El Fuerte's Super Dynamic Cooking Time!!!
Whether you consider El Fuerte's special form of cooking to be good or bad is in the eyes of the many Street Fighters he feeds after defeating them; while not a popular character to select you can't help but feel good when you see his famous chant Super Dynamic Cooking Time!!! Which would get you pumped to make a nice chilli.

Cooking Mama Will Fix It For You
Nintendo has a way of helping you out in the basics and Cooking Mama was a unique way of doing that using the Nintendo DS' features to learn chopping, mixing and not over cooking, not good if you have a faulty touchscreen but watching Angry Mama more than makes up for it.

Cheap Cheap The Cooking Chicken's Rap
PaRappa the Rapper is one oddball of a game but I think the best way to describe this one is with youtube.

You know if other cooking programs did this it might give rapping more credit.

Cook Kirby's Hot Pot
Before Kirby traded his hot pot for a giant sword, he used to cook up his opponents in Smash Bros Brawl, this was taken from his main series games where he takes all his enemies and turns them into food, although considering this puff ball eats anything and everything it makes me wonder if he really has taste buds at all.
