I knew I could move. The first time I didn't know that pressing space after putting out food would destroy the food, every time after that was an accident. You make some food, put it out and it gets taken away and you press space to make some more and it does get taken and you're just frantically trying to get out food that you press space instead of moving and then the food gets destroyed.
Obviously you know what all the hints say and what they mean, for me I had to read the hints, find the ones that had some relation to food, figure out what they meant, then press all the right buttons to make the food. I imagine by the end of the 10 days, you knew all the recipes by heart too!
I had another go and I managed to get to the end this time!
