I wish you good luck but I don't get it either.

The thing that makes Duolingo great is that right away you learn words in a new language. It hooks you. Within 1 lesson you know several words or a phrase with a few variations.

This is more just random trivia about food that no one cares about. I started with the cheeseburger recipe (apparently an advanced lesson or something). Right away it's asking me a bunch of questions about ground meat but teaching me nothing. Where's the hook? I want to see a recipe and learn to make it, not feel like I'm taking a test about a bunch of stuff I was never taught with no obvious path to simply making the thing I want to make. In the 5 minutes I spent on it I feel like I was just getting grilled (metaphorically). The first 5 minutes of Duolingo I actually learned something.

Anyhow, suggestion would be to start right away with the thing people actually want... How to cook the food and make the recipe.
