The English rules have not yet arrived but there is now a more detailed write up on the Geek and I have a question about salt.
Part of the fun of A La Carte is the groans from players when they get salt instead of one of their sought-after spices. I notice that some new recipes actually *require* salt and more over the expansion introduces a fifth shaker that has *no* salt.
What is the reasoning behind this?
On an unrelated note, I'm loving the new stove design. It seems to be much easier to attach the dial.

I think more fun and more varity.
The tactical twist in A la carte is to look at the bottles and to see which meal is the best to make at that time. Sometimes its rather hard to get salt and sometimes not.
With the mixed bottles you may get different spices you need in one turn, but it’s more luck which one will come.
Together with the menu-cards it changes the little goals you have in the game and adds some variations.
The written rules are not much more detailed than the describtion on the bgg, so it should be playable with your german version.
