Nintendo DS Cooking Guide Will Help You Make Dinner
Forget lugging around your cookbooks: now the Nintendo DS can help you cook your meals. Nintendo will release Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat? in the U.S. this fall. Unlike Cooking Mama, where you play a series of mini-games like slicing carrots or separating egg yolks to make a virtual dish, Cooking Guide provides real, step-by-step recipes with helpful photos so that you can actually cook along in the kitchen. It even provides a glossary to explain terminology and ingredients for those who feel completely clueless. Perfect for the foodie gamer.

Wow, I have been thinking about getting a DS for several years -- even bought a few for my friends as gifts. This looks pretty awesome. I like the recipe selection methods (between caloric intake, country of origin, etc.) and the ability to scale serving size.
Thanks for the info!

If that wasn't enough, Atari showed off "What's Cooking? with Jaime Oliver" at E3 just last week for the DS. That one is a bit closer to Cooking Mama in that it has cooking minigames, but it is also filled with supposedly over 100 of Oliver's recipes and also features a mobile shopping list and recipe sharing to boot!
It's great that a lot of these "useful tools" are coming out for the DS like they had ages ago with the original Game Boy. Although the original GB focused more on foreign language guides and day planners, now we're focusing on recipe collections, even more language guides, and other unique apps. Keep them coming!

I have had this for a while now. I love it, the crepe recipe is one of the best I have tried. In fact, I love it so much I don't even mind the sideways looks I get when I randomly consult it in the grocery isles! Haha!
