Actually, I tend to do well (queenly, in fact) with a -very high- cooking skill, because my girl's Cleaning and Temperament suck like...a sinful character after she becomes a common prostitute :angel: In fact, since they do, and since I don't touch the Housework competition with a ten-foot pole, and since she -needs- a good Housework rep...that's why the cooking fairies come in handy.
(Also: I believe (but have not tested scientifically) that the lake cooking fairies give less skill than the forest ones.)

Ah. Yeah, my general strategy is this:
Go with an AB girl (as they get sensitivity each month), spend all of my money to give her meat the first two or three months (she gets higher constitution and can work three times in a row), and have her do nothing but housework and rest until she's full on cooking, cleaning and temperment. Then babysit the rest of the year.
Once it's time for the festival, I spend all remaining money on dolls, then I almost always get 1st or 2nd in the cooking contest (will reload if I don't. Sometimes it's just sort of random).
The second year is devoted almost entirely to farming, and at the end of it, win cooking contest again (at this point sensitivitly will be way high enough to win it without a problem).
Then the third year is spent farming, learning to fight and adventuring, visiting the art fairies until she's in the 70's or 80s', then do four art classes, get the picture, and win the art festival at the end of the year.
farm, fence, free art points & fighter rep points every month for a year, 0 stress, is pretty sweet.
After that, the years just depend on what I'm looking for.
With my first queen, I think I ended up having her win the cooking contest her last year too, to boost housework rep up high enough.
That's the great thing about this game! There are so many different endings, and so many different strategies that work!
I should try to get a queen playing completely different sometimes. I've gotten too comfortable in my normal method. :P
