Suggestions for tiny impwovements

Overall, this has been a fun game but I feel there are some minor improvements that would go well for everyone:
1) I'd like to see the list of mini games while selecting a food item to cook along with the star rating. The first time you see the list of mini games is after completing the first mini game. Before that, there is no way of knowing how many mini games or what to expect.
2) The timer rings a couple seconds before the time actually ends. This feels confusing for my child and ends early. If the ringing is meant to be like a 5 second warning, I would like to see it be replaced by some ticking followed by the ringing at the actual end of the level.
3) I'd also like to see a separate section in the game where you can just play the mini game you want, maybe like an endless mode option? Would definitely like to be able to use this to practice specific mini games like Spatula Toss as it gets harder in difficulty.
4) Indication of achieving 5 stars in a mini game. Currently some of the mini games just abruptly end when you have achieved the 5 star status. This feels inconsistent with the others that let you play for the whole time frame. I'd like to see an indicator showing you how many stars you've earned currently. Some mini games do show a little green circle that fills up when 5 star status is reached, and others do not. Would like to see some consistency with how we are doing in the game so that there won't be any sudden surprises that you didn't score as well as you thought you did.
Mini game specifics:
Mix it up: Timer changed corner? Not in the bottom right like the rest of the mini games.
Spatula Toss: Longer timer for more complex recipes as lots of time is wasted waiting for the right specific ingredient to appear.
Strike a Pose: Would like to see some points awarded during the dancing in between poses. Later levels seem harder without any indication of increased difficulty. Did the judging get a little stricter or less points awarded?
Slice to Size: Do the pictures taken in the middle of the game show your picture act as an intended obstacle, or would it be better if the game paused for a couple seconds, or show the picture when the time is up? Action shot after the gameplay?
Chop chop chop!: The slice marks aren't aligned, the far left mark hangs off one of the chopping boards.
Heads up: Does the bowl ever fall off the board ob your head later on? If not, perhaps maybe add something visual to the ends of the board to indicate it will just rest on the end without ever falling off.
