Be sure to eat before you play this or else...

Just like going to the grocery store, you shouldn't play this game on an empty stomach. Cooking foods like spaghetti bolognese and fried chicken will make you want to binge. Just be sure to not eat while playing your DS...could be damaging to both you and the system!

This game rocks...very original concept. The gameplay is fairly easy; however, I seemed to have trouble with getting the stylus to work with the peeling technique (potatoes and in hand to avoid getting burned). I'm constantly failing that skill because the darn stylus doesn't want to glide down the potato (or could it be that I haven't yet learned this very important skill?? Hmm...) Other than that, this game is very enjoyable and the colors/graphics are vivid and crisp. And for $19.99 you can't beat the price for what you get. If Mama grades you with a bronze, silver or gold medal you will unlock another recipe. Even when Mama fails you with her flame burning stare, you can't help but try again. As for me, I started out only knowing how to boil water. Now I can make rice!! Life is good. Go buy this game!!
