Video Games that Teach You How to Cook
If you’re like a lot of people you’ve probably never considered learning how to cook using a video game console. However, the Nintendo DS has turned cooking into an interactive video game experience with a few different video games. Nintendo hopes to get families to spend more time in the kitchen together with the following titles available for the Nintendo DS.
If you’d like to test your skills in the kitchen against a famous chef you should give What’s Cooking? with Jamie Oliver a try. This game includes 100 recipes which you can try cooking both on the Nintendo DS and in your own kitchen. You can also share other recipes with friends and family using the Wifi connection. Most people think this game does better as a virtual cookbook but either way it’s definitely a challenge and a lot of fun.
If you’d like to learn and master the art of fine French cooking you might be interested in Gourmet Chef: Cook Your Way to Fame. Adults would probably enjoy this game more than children. Although if you have a child that is serious about cooking they might also appreciate this game more than a kid who just wants to have fun playing a video game. In Gourmet Chef you’ll learn many tasks with the stylus which you can later apply to real recipes.
Cooking Mama is another very popular cooking game for the Nintendo DS. The main focus of this game is racing against the clock against other chefs. Everyone is fighting for the gold medal. You will definitely do a lot of work with the stylus if you decide to play this game. However, the microphone on the Nintendo DS is also an important tool. You can blow into the microphone to help cool down your dishes!
Personal Trainer: Cooking would be a great gift for someone just learning how to cook or for someone interested in trying different types of recipes from around the globe. This game is more like a cookbook that comes to life with videos and descriptions of every ingredient you need for your recipe. Instead of a competition, Personal Trainer: Cooking focuses on learning new tasks and recipes. You can even make your shopping on the DS and take it with you to the store.
Believe it or not but there are many other cooking games available for the Nintendo DS than those listed in this article. Even though you might not have considered owning a Nintendo DS before, these cooking games have attracted a whole new audience to the world of hand-held video game consoles. If you’d like to learn how to cook and don’t have time to sort through all kinds of books, magazines, or websites you might want to give some of these games a try.
