To make food with taste you need to use laws of reality, in other word, cooking manually like in real world . So, A dish need to obey both laws to be made successfully; "reality" for the properties of the food such as taste and texture, and "game" to determine whether the dish succesfully prepared or not
Interesting theory, so there are real world laws and game laws.

But let's look again to the ball of light Shiroe cast a couple episodes ago. That ball of light actually follows physical laws about light. The game never intended that ball to have any disorienting effects, but it became so by itself because the world become real. Virtually everything else have gained some sort of innate characteristics that the game never built in because the world became real. Everything else but vending food. Weird.
