Cooking Guide (DS) Reviews

Iv tryed using this game a couple of times to help me in the aid of cooking, and i have to say that i really like it. The voice over person has a very soothing voice and you dont ever feel rushed at any point. The good thing about the game is that you dont have to rush through point to point but you can take step backs or move ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes you just want something to spice up your kitchen love life. When my husband asks what do I think for dinner, I firstly, I suppress the urge to strangle and then ask what does he fancy as an ingredient. I then turn to the trusty cooking guide! This little piece of software is quite a lot fun to play around with initially. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Great value for money. I'm not the type of person to buy recipe books as you can find so many recipes easily over the web. However, it can be cumbersome to have to search through all the rubbish to get something good and even then they might not expiain well and are hard to follow. The beauty of this game is that there are so many ...  Read the complete review

This game is simple and easy to use. It has a step by step guide on how to cook different meals. You can select ingrediants you already have in your cupboards and then a recipe will appear what you can make. Its not the most exciting of games but suits the purpose it has been made for. It has recipes for world wide cuisine and you can save the ...  Read the complete review

I am a useless cook and can burn water. I even once gave my husband food poisoning from some undercooked chicken...whoops...so for christmas he bought me Cooking Guide for the DS and I was dubious. I attempted the Chilli con carne and couldn't believe the results. It was delicious. The thing I like most about this game is the ...  Read the complete review

As a university student, I found this cooking guide very useful. I was not a confident cook however the cooking guide tells you everything you need and gives you step by step instructions. It even gives you simple instructions for tasks such as cutting an onion! Very useful when you have no idea what you are doing. However, I think ...  Read the complete review

As a 20 year old student, living off a very small budget and having hardly anytime to cook; the Nintendo DS cooking guide gave me the extra support i was looking for. For months on end i lived off tasteless food, such as Asda value noodles and beans on toast, stereotypically viewed but true at the same time. However, after recieving this game for ...  Read the complete review

Nintendo have begun to release a new line of shall we say, "Games" that don't function that most entertaining games do. This Cooking guide is quite literally an electronic cooking guide so to speak. You don't play it for entertainment but to learn and improve your cooking skills. Great for the beginner cook who can't fry and ...  Read the complete review

Okay, so 'Cooking Guide' isn't necessarily a game as such. There is no challenge as such, no points or levels, the graphics are limited to photos, videos and menus. No, 'Cooking Guide' is basically a piece of lifestyle software on the DS. Usually, these 'games' are BAD. Bad cash-ins, taking advantage of the DS family audience hooked in ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

When I first heard of this game, I thought - what a brilliant game and what brilliant use of the Nintendo DS. As soon as I bought the game, it didn't cease to impress me. You can cook a variety of meals based on key words, country or options that you choose to set. You can even type in how many calories your food contains in case your ...  Read the complete review

This game really helps to show the diversity of the Nintendo DS and show that it is more then just a games console. Can't Decide What to Eat has around 200 recipies in there, from all over the world. You can decide which you wish to have by search by ingredients, the part of the world it's from, etc. The cooking guide is comprehensive ...  Read the complete review

There's no doubting that the idea of just sticking in a DS cartridge into your console and switching it on for an in kitchen cooking experience isn't desirable. The problem is that the recipes provided are quite basic. I would say that this is a great gift for those you aren't really avid cooks who like to experiment with flavours as it is a bit ...  Read the complete review

I received this game as a Christmas present and I love it. I haven't actually used it for cooking yet but have used it for my meal plans for the month. There is a great range of recipes on this game however one improvement I think could be made is for new recipes to be added periodically perhaps throught the Wii Channel. It is really easy to ...  Read the complete review

This is a great game for anyone who likes cooking at any level beginners, or advanced. The game costs around £20 to £25 which is pretty cheap as ds games go. Its a little bit different from a normal ds game its more like a cooking guide. I like it because it offers you loads of recipies from all around the world. I love to cook and this ...  Read the complete review

I have to confess that I absolutely love the DS cooking guide! Cookery books are great, but they don't speak out the instructions and they basically aren't as fun! This DS 'game' is brilliant as you can go through all the recipes by calorie content, the type of dish, or even the country the dish is from (this is particularly helpful if you decide ...  Read the complete review

The Cooking Guide is a recipe book for the DS. It costs £25 normally and I managed to get it for £20 in the sale. It contains 245 recipes from different countries. When you go on to the game the options are cooking guide, cooking A-Z and shopping list. The cooking guide is the option you choose to find a recipe. There are a ...  Read the complete review

in my opinion i dont think this is a worthwhile game you could get a lot more out of a good old fashioned cookbook which would probably be a lot cheaper with better results. i think this is just another attempt at trying to keep up with the times but in my opinion notone that is worthwhile. it is probably a good idea for someone like a student to ...  Read the complete review

When i first saw the advert for this Nintendo DS game I was a little dubious as I wasn't sure about how many recipes I would be getting for my money..and I was right to be. I wasn't really impressed with the game as the choice of recipes was pretty minimal and nothing took my fancy. I felt it would have been easier, and a whole lot ...  Read the complete review
