 Rating: - A useful, polished little thingI'm utterly rubish at cooking. I also cannot allow my mother to try and teach me how to cook because she is annoying when she does so. When I heard about this game I was incredibley pessimistic, it had the potentional to be awful like a lot of DS educational games but this isn't one of them. It's so easy to use, however the voice recognition is an issue though, often not working because of the background noise. Here's a handy hint, pop your DS in a little plastic bag to protect it and you can put ... Read More Rating:  - Doesn't inspire, sorryI have to confess to being of the fast food/takeaway generation, and bought this 'game' hoping it might inspire me to get cooking more, building on the influence that Jamie's Ministry of Food had on me recently.

The only gripe I have with it is the recipies! They are clearly meant to appeal to a global audience, but I thought they were all a bit odd! I hope they are planning to bring out more editions - specialising in various cuisines - ie an Italian one, British one and so on. I'd definitely buy them. Rating: - Guide not game...First of all, I really advice taking out a little extra insurance on your DS console, and having screen protectors. Unlike most games for the DS this is a little more hands on, and it is good to remember the clue is in the name - guide. The recipes are simple and easy to follow, and although the voice recognition is a little over sensitive at times, its not difficult to back the steps up or skip a few to get back to the right point. Nintendo are really learning to push the DS as far as it can go, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
