Personal Trainer: Cooking - Nintendo DS

this is basically an advanced cookbook. by advanced i do not mean difficult, it is advanced in the fact that it does have step by step instructions, and also shopping lists for recipes. the recipes range from various countries which keeps it interesting and you learn recipes from outside of our standard menues. my finace thouroughly enjoyed the features and instructions which will actually speak to you so you can keep your hands free. it is very user friendly and easy to use. if you like to cook and want to learn new recipes with a high tech cook book, this is the way to go. the recipes are great and the shopping list is handy when purchasing ingrediants or checking to make sure you have everything. you can also check ingrediants off as you pick them up so you dont get lost or miss something. very great item and it can also help kids learn to cook (with adult supervision of course unless your child is old enough to use knives, scissors, and ect without fear of hurting themselves).

I really like this game.. If you would even call it that.. Lots of recipes from many countries. most of the recipes are not difficult to make, if you want a challenging one, they have some. Same with easy recipes. Also what i liked was that there are a lot of examples of things like how to do something that you might not know how to do, or different words that you might not know. I, myself would like more countries, and more desserts. All in all, This is a great buy.

Got this for mother's day with a DS. The program is very well designed and has great extra features like tips and techniques. But, if you are experienced and confident in the kitchen it will be too basic for you. I really don't use it a lot. Of course it was a very thoughtful gift but even my husband sees it probably isn't ideal for me. Note that the source of the recipes is a Japanese culinary institute of some sort.

Variety of recipes from other countries. I love to cook and collect recipes and this is perfect. Makes cooking fun and so far every recipe has turned out perfect and delicious. Includes lots of very healthy recipes too.

this game is awesome! i use it just about everyday and my family loves my new creations!

I thought i would learn something but really didn't learn anything I didn't already have in a cookbook. Would be good for young kids and their parents but some of the recipes are foods I have never heard of or able to find.

* if you eat liver, veal, all kinds of fish, squid ink and lamb...then i recommend this to you

If you've never boiled water this is for you. If you have boiled water, this is too simple for you. Don't waste your time or money. I wanted the green DS; this came with it...I had no choice.
