Personal Trainer Cooking

my friend gave this to me for my birthday and i love it, and i'm only 10!it has over 200 recipes,(you can really cook) and it includes:fish, meat, desserts, salads and more. you can search the recipes by writing, ingrediants, countries and more!i'd say this is for ages 10-up.it helps cook. one dessart that is cool, is choclate moose. you can make it be voice activated when you cook. i love the game but there is 1 only 1 downfall. . . the d.s pick up every little sound. i strongly suggest you buy it.

I bought 1 for my 10 year old granddaugher and she loved it very much. She has been making the dinners for her family. I also bought one for a friend as a Christmas suprise gift and she also enjoys it and shares it with her neice who is 10.

I love this game. I've made the Bucatini with tomato and pancetta and it came out great. I would definitely recommend purchasing this cooking game. What intrigued me was the different type of recipeds from around the world. I always want to cook something new and different and if you do too then this is the game for you.

This "game" is amazing. You don't have trouble coming up with an entire meal that goes together, because you can search by country, and it'll also tell you if the dish is a side dish, dessert, etc. The pictures are so beautiful and appetizing, it actually seems fun(!) to go grocery shopping for the ingredients instead of grabbing a bag of frozen burritos, for example. Also, because the steps to each recipe are so simply laid out, and the "cookbook" is so tiny, I feel more in control and less overwhelmed than I do when pulling out my ginormous, traditional, old cookbook. I have only had this game for a week and I've already made the Sugar Crepes and Australian Meat Pie. I am excited to try t... Read more

This was one of the first few applications for the DS that was not a game. There aren't any fun activities in this application, just step by step recipes, and if that's what you're looking for, then you may have found it. Using the application is fairly easy: on first run, it creates a profile for the user that will keep track of ratings and shopping lists and recipes cooked (and perhaps other information). This process takes a few minutes, but this is a 1 time operation. From here, the user simply browses recipes in one of several ways (by region, alphabetically, by ingredient (and maybe by course). The user then selects a recipe and starts cooking! On first glance, everything seems great--it's like having a second person in the kitchen that only tells you what to do next. The problem is really how it's handled though. The speech recognition is only okay. It'll respond correctly to "next" and "okay" and maybe even "got it", but it'll also respond to things like "bad" and "okra."... Read more
