    Cooking's touch screen interface is clean, but the voice commands and audio help are what really make traditional cookbooks seem outdated. This "Touch Generations" title may be intended to draw more non-gamers into the fold, but this is software that truly is for everyone.

    This package surpasses the novelty of having a slew of recipes and a personal backup up chef teaching you the ropes.

    It's informative, useful, well thought out, and exhaustive in it's attention to detail.

    Personal Trainer: Cooking is perfect for bored housewives (or husbands — let's not discriminate) who have extra spending money and a passion for new flavors and tastes.

    Absolutely not a video game in any shape or form – but something that's more immediately useful than Brain Training and its ilk.

DS Oryouri Navi") and loved it. You had to yell "tsuGI" or "oh---KEI" to continue, though, and because I don't speak Japanese I had to use a strategy guide. Oddly enough the same developer had already published the strategy guide years in advance. Beautiful hard-bound strategy guide, too, which I think I might keep in my kitchen.… Expand
