Turn your DS into a cookbook.

 Have you ever wanted to learn how to cook, but didn’t have anybody to teach you?  With Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What to Eat?, your Nintendo DS can tell you exactly what to do.  It features more than 200 recipes from around the world, searchable by country, calorie count, ingredients, and preparation time.    

Cooking Guide takes you through the entire process of cooking a meal from start to finish.  You start off by compiling an ingredient list for the dish you’ve selected, with the intent being that you’ll take your DS with you to the grocery store.  Once you get your ingredients home, you can prepare to cook the meal by looking at a picture of the finished dish, watching videos that explain cooking techniques (such as cleaning a fish), and looking up terms in a cooking glossary if you don’t know what they mean.    

When it comes to cooking the meal, each recipe in Cooking Guide gives you step-by-step instructions.  You can turn the page with a tap of the stylus or a simple voice command, and you can also use the stylus to make notes and adjust serving sizes.    

It looks like Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What to Eat? has everything necessary to turn your DS into an electronic cookbook.  You’ll be able to try your hand at the culinary arts on November 24th.  In the meantime, check out the official trailer for the game below.

I have to be honest, this might interest me.  If there's a good variety of dishes and recipes that actually work, I can definitely see myself using this.  I'm such a non-gamer ;__;

The nintendo channel here is stuffed full of videos of this, it had very detailled ones before the game's release already and now has even more (no idea why you'd need more, that one already explained everything). My mother is interested but it's too expensive, like all "casual" games. 30 Euros for the game are already too much for my parents, paying 150 for the DS is completely out of the question.

This cookbook would be perfect for my wife!!  Oh wait....we're already connected to the internets

This is cool .... but having my DS in the kitchen sounds like a bad idea. Too much liquid there, too great of a possibility of disaster.

289 million hits on yahoo for the word "recipe" and they're selling 200 of them for $30. That is genius.

Wait, only 200?!  I misread the news post and thought it said 2000.

Forget it then.

Well, the thing does a bit more than just list recipes (acts as a shopping list, can search meals based on settings like calories, includes demonstration videos for complicated steps and is voice activated so you don't have to touch it with your dirty hands) but a real cookbook is probably a lot cheaper.

That's why you need one of these bad boys

I go downstairs and find my brother stirring my DS in a wok.
