I can't quite recall if I have ever written about my Nintendo DS and Personal Trainer: Cooking. Well if not, here goes. It's a cookbook but for the Nintendo DS. There are loads of recipes from all over the world and the software allows you to select a recipe based on a number of factors. You could choose by the type of recipe you're looking for whether you feel for desert or for a salad. You can narrow your search down by looking for recipes from a certain country, or for the health/weight conscious you can even choose based on key ingredient or calorie content.
After you've chosen you're recipe you are shown three options. You can look on the ingredients and materials you need, you can look at the steps involved or you can go straight to the instructions. If you take a look at the ingredients you can check to see whether or not you have them and if not then you can add them to the shopping list that is also a feature of this game card. If you just want a brief idea of what the cooking process with involve then you can look on the steps or if you want to get straight to cooking then select cook.
Once there, your personal trainer will instruct you step by step, talking you through the recipe with helpful videos and tips to ensure that you are on the right track. If you missed something he said, simply ask him to "repeat". The Nintendo DS features voice recognition and so without having to get your device messy, you can verbally instruct the cook to "continue" or to go back to the "last step" with the various voice commands.
This game (and I use the term loosely) is a fun way to introduce cooking to the novitiate. The recipes are simple and easy to follow and the overall software is very user friendly.
