Kitchen impossible card deck

50 of the world's hardest dishes. One deck of cards with scratch-offs to track your progress. Zero excuses.

Each card is a real recipe, rated by difficulty and timed from "easy evening" to "clear your weekend." Cook it, then scratch off the card to track your progress.

Comes with a fun chef's hat, because a five-hour Croquembouche deserves a costume to match.

50 recipe challenge cards, with difficulty rating, time estimate, words of culinary wisdom, and flavor profile tag. Scratch-off completion panel on every card, revealed only once you've actually cooked the dish. One super cool chef's hat in a box that needs no wrapping, or introductions, just a cook that can handle the heat.

Shipping: We process orders within 1 business day (weekends and holidays don't count). Once it ships, standard delivery takes 3–9 business days, depending on where you are and which shipping method you pick. You'll get a tracking link so you can watch your box make its way to the master’s kitchen.


We ship worldwide, so timelines can shift a little depending on your region, customs, and local carriers. Shipping cost is based on weight, size, and destination.

Need to change your address? Email us ASAP — once your order's processing, changes get tricky. Want to cancel? Same deal: get in touch before it ships and we'll sort it.

Returns: Not the right fit? Return your unused box within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Cards and hat should be unused, scratch-offs un-scratched — once you've cooked your way through it, it's yours to keep.

Do I need to be an experienced cook?

Look, it obviously won’t hurt, it would be silly to pretend otherwise, but we know you’ve got it in you, and what’s the worst case scenario, you burn your Soufflé?

Is this a game or a challenge?

It’s definitely a challenge, but we’re not going to stop you from making it a game if you like to live dangerously. Some chefs like to take a drink every time they make a mistake, and some whenever they get something right, either way you’ll have a good time.

How long do the recipes actually take

Anywhere from a quick-ish evening to a full weekend project. Every card lists its time estimate up front so you know what you’re getting into.

Who is this for?

Kitchen Impossible was made for people that desperately need to learn how to cook through a trial by fire, for the foodies that should spend more time cooking than eating, and the cooks that think they can do better than the chef on TV.

Does the Chef’s hat come in different sizes?

Our chef’s hat has an adjustable velcro strap that makes fitting it to your giant (or tiny) brain very easy. We haven’t found a head too big or too small for it yet so you or the recipient will be fine!

Are the recipes authentic to where the dishes come from?

Not only are these dishes authentic, many of them require real traditional techniques and ingredients, no shortcuts that water down the difficulty. If you don’t recognise the flag for the country of origin, we encourage you to improve your flag knowledge.
