Advantages: Suitable for all, easy to use

Disadvantages: None I can see

This definately a Cooking Guide and not a "game" (if you want a game buy "Cooking Mama"), and as long as you realise that you will LOVE IT!

I got this for Christmas as part of a package with my new DS. It isn't something I would have thought to have chosen, but now I have it I wouldn't be without it.

Whilst cookery books are OK, they aren't this small and portable and they certainly don't shout out the instructions to you. It also contains a shopping list, so as you are going through a recipe, if you notice an ingredient you don't have you can add it to your DS shopping list, which is an amazingly simple but effective idea.

The Guide is easy to use and to move around. You can sort and choose the recipes in many ways. You can do this by calorie content (ideal for those of us on a diet), by the type of dish, or even by country the recipe orginates from, you can also use it to find a catagory of dish such as recipes for vegans and vegetarians.

When following a recipe, it also allows you to go at your own pace because you have to say "continue" to make it move onto the next step, which is handy because you can concentrate on the cooking and keep your hands busy with the task in hand.

Having this has encouraged me to be more adventurous with my cooking and this is used a lot, both by me and a couple of my friends who have been keen to borrow this.

Summary: Never buy a cookbook again, just buy this
