What's the strategy?

I can’t talk about OPs strategy, they even failed 10 dishes, but all you need to do is getting syrup, while salting the dishes to extend the time. Syrup is needed because it’s the only way of getting your first red mark. 

 

After the syrup, it’s just cooking dishes until mumsy wants a desert and that’s where you get your non-plated favors. 

 

Edit. It’s actually not needed to salt any dishes as there is enough time without, but what else to use salt/coins on?... better have some spare time imo!

2-player team (double Wilson), No Silver Linings, 20 successful meals (could've made more but didn't bother because we didn't want any potential crashes/disconnects happening). We didn't have a strategy in mind; we decided to just go with the flow.

Our "strategy": (Feel free to use someone else other than Wilson for the second player; we pointlessly had two, since we adore him. xD)

Since we had Wilson, we started with a cookpot kit. Waited till the first dessert craving to make a jelly roll to get a sapphire medallion to get the key to the park. Bought salt rack, syrup pot, and tapping kits. For every craving except for dessert, we just fed the Gnaw easy recipes, such as meatballs and fish stew. When it came to the next dessert craving, we fed it pudding to get a ruby medallion. We waited until it had a fish craving to buy the milk and to make creamy fish, since we didn't have that recipe discovered yet. This gave another ruby medallion. With the next dessert craving, we made a caramel cube for a Gnaw's Favor. We saved the last ruby medallion until it had another dessert craving. We used it to make another caramel cube for another Gnaw's Favor. If you cook fast enough, the remaining milk can be used before it spoils to make another caramel cube once the Gnaw wants dessert again. This gave us the last Gnaw's Favor. We salted as many meals as we could, just in case. This strategy was used when the second round was a bread craving versus a vegetable craving.

If you get a vegetable craving, it should be easier to get the No Silver Linings accomplishment. We got the vegetable craving on our first attempt to get the accomplishment, and we almost got it, but we messed up because we didn't realize we already had enough syrup to make a caramel cube and missed our chance.
