This week we're going to go behind-the-scenes in Biomagica Academy's world-class kitchens to test your knowledge of one of the most mysterious and tricky types of magic: Transfiguration. As you know, cooking is already magic. Anyone can throw some eggs, sugar and milk into a bowl, but only a skilled chef can create a hundred different beautiful, delicious foods out of those three simple components. Your challenge today is to show us what [i]you[/i] can do when utilizing ingredients that represent the four Houses of the Biomagica Academy - [b]Animalia, Plantae, Monera,[/b] and [b]Fungi[/b].

Cooking!! I'm very excited to enter this one!

@Tyta

Question: are the categories going to change every day? So, would we need to potentially enter any of those categories for today Sunday and then on Monday enter other recipes for different categories? I'm trying to determine how much cooking I'm going to be attempting this week...

@Krycelli
Nope, the categories will remain the same throughout the whole week.

@sinstarinablak
We're excited to have you participate!

@Tyta I would like to be on the ping lists please. <3
