I know I'm going to catch "get back in the kitchen" comments for this, but I have to admit it — I like cooking. I decided to learn to like it when I realized I was thirty years old and likely to starve to death if I didn't teach myself. For that reason, Nintendo's new DS game, Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat actually appeals to me. It's a shame it's a European release, because I might have bought it if I could have read it.
Rather than challenge players in mini-games Cooking Mama-style, Cooking Guide is an actual how-to game, guiding players through 250 recipes from around the world. Dishes are broken down into groups you can search, including a calorie search for people watching their weight. What can I say? I think it's neat. I'm a woman. It's genetic.
Cooking Guide comes out in Europe on July 20th. Check out more screens at Nintendic if you're a dork like me and you enjoy educational games.

Uh, you are writing for a gaming blog here, correct? Surely you understand that Europe includes two countries whose first language is English, the very one which you're using to write this post?
I too had to learn how to cook when I got my apartment. Easy Mac only takes you so far, and eating out all the time 1. is expensive and 2. makes you kind of sick after a while.
Shoot. now I'm a chauvinistic pig. I didn't really mean it! I'm not really a chauvinistic pig! I like treating ladies right! I open car doors and let them get higher paying positions than me! It's ok! I'll vote for Hillary.
Crap, this isn't washing off the PC guilt..... Here: to make it up to you, I'll send you a cookie. With macadamia nuts. and toffee bits.
"READING EUROPEAN ENGLISH IS HARD"
No if you excuse me...I gotta go meet Mary-Ellen over by the cement pond.
.....It's early morning and I have no wit.

the worst is that you're talking english.
get a map an encyclopedia... whatever but be less ....hum more cultivated.
Anyway, this game is good ! really efficient when you don't know what to cook or if you can't cook. It's really easy to follow. I must be picky, but a lot of dishes didn't LOOK good to me ( i didn't try them).
