Advantages: easy to use, nice range of recipes, search filter system, voice recognition

Disadvantages: could do with a few more recipes

This game is fantastic for anyone who wants to cook but doesn't know how.
I am the wosr cook in the world, and i don't know how to use any kitchen appliances or would know how to cook anything.
I decided to cook dinner one night and the first thing i though of using was this game.
The game includes 100's of recipes, that give step by step instructions on what to do, voice recognition so you can say 'next' to continue the instructions when your hands are busy cooking. It speaks to you so you can listen what to do.
The game also provides complete list of utensils needed, ingredients and also a list of substitute ingredients for food that is less common - more for the foreign dishes. You can also select how many servings you are making and the recipe adjusts the amount of ingredients to fit.
It has a built in feature to construct a shopping list for each recipe and every recipe can be searched through a number of filters such as 'difficulty', 'calories', 'catagories' etc making it easy to find the type of meal you want.

I made a japanese dish called Nikujaga and it came out lovely! Definitely taught me a few things about cooking and was so easy to do with ther guide.

Summary: A well organised, easy to use game that teaches you to cook!
