Stack recipe cards with hype cards for maximum points. Remember that only one hype card can be used per recipe.
You can only have one chef token at a time, so use it with a recipe when the dice are close to being rerolled (and your chef token would renew anyway).
You must cook a recipe with a die that is altered by a chef token in the same turn. Otherwise, the change on the die will revert, but your chef token will not.
