About the game: The first thing to do is select a recipe. With 245 to choose from, Personal Trainer: Cooking makes it easy to find what youre looking for by helping you browse by country, ingredients, difficulty, cooking time, cooking technique or even calorie count. Once youve found something that looks tasty, take a look at the ingredients. Out of butter or need to buy some cumin? Just tap them with the stylus to automatically add the ingredients to your Shopping List. Making several dishes tonight? Just keep tapping ingredients - your Shopping List keeps it all in one place for you. Now that youve got your ingredients, its time to start cooking. The DS Chef is there with you, talking you through every step along the way. Dont know how to fillet a trout? Watch the demonstration video when you get to that step. Didnt quite catch the last step? Just say "Repeat," and the Chef will explain it again. You can pause the recipe at any time to consult the Cooking A-Z guide, and prompts will appear within recipes for specific terms you might need more information about.
Becoming a Better Cook: When you finish each recipe, you put a stamp on the in-game calendar, marking what youve made and when you made it. Later, you can search by whether or not youve made a dish before, allowing you to perfect your technique on a particular recipe, or keep expanding your culinary horizons. With an extensive in-game reference of cooking terms, pictures and demonstration videos, you can tailor your cooking experience to your level of skill, then watch that skill grow as you keep cooking.
Special Input Options: The game can be controlled entirely with the stylus, for maximum accessibility. When your hands are full, covered in cookie batter or otherwise unavailable, all of the in-recipe commands can be given by speaking to the DS microphone. The keyword search function uses handwriting recognition, so you can simply write out that youre looking for a "sweet" something. Finally, that same handwriting recognition is used to make notes on recipes. If you want to remember to reduce the salt, or simply that this recipe was especially tasty, the software takes the same role as the handwritten note in a cookbook.

I was really excited about getting this "game" as I love to cook and wanted to try it out. There are some very interesting recipes available, however a good number of them are exotic and if I even wanted to try to cook them I could never find the ingredients (i.e. Squid in Ink sauce). Im a pretty adventurous eater and cook and there honestly arent alot of these recipes that I could say Id ever make more than once. I definitely think they could have used more variety in their recipe selection.
My major problem with the game, and the one that has me considering either sending it back or selling it online is the fact that when you are cooking the voice recognition picks up other sounds and starts freaking out skipping back and forth through the steps at every clank of a bowl or chop of a knife. Every time Id get done with one step Id have to go search for where I was in the recipe.
I do have to say however that the recipe I made turned out great (Chicken Marengo), if the rest of them turn out as good as the first it might be worth keeping even with the overwhelming flaws.
Great purchase if you are interested in learning how to cook

I felt that this product was exactly what I needed in order to expand my cooking skills. The voice is nice and not that bothersome, the recipes are categorized and go through everything you need to do, including what you need to do for preparation or ingredients, and included a list of utensils you needed. Some points of the game that got to me were the fact that the recipes were limited to gourmet stuff, and there werent simple things like making brownies. Additionally, the highest you can set the recipe for is six people, which for me is a little bothersome because I cook in order to save and eat what I have cooked over a couple of days. But despite these points, I still feel like the game is a great purchase if you want to explore cooking more.

Unlike most cooking games on the DS, you actually get to make real food. The game comes with a good amount of recipes that originate from all over the world. It also has a lot of features like the Cooking A-Z section where you can get cooking tips, terminology, and cooking preparation videos. You can also choose to exclude certain ingredients from the recipes and the game also comes with a handy kitchen timer.
As for the Recipes, you can search by country, keyword, ingredients, calories, difficulty, cooking time, cooking method, and/or notes (you can add notes to the recipes too!). Once you select a recipe, you can view the ingredients and check off any of them you need to buy so that they will show up in the shopping list (another handy feature). You can view the basic steps to get an idea of what utensils you will need and what you will be doing. Once you are all prepared, its time to cook! The game will give you audio and visual cues as you are cooking and you can control the the movement of the steps buy voice command so you can keep your hands free.
The recipes are easy to follow and tasty. Its especially great for anyone who is learning to cook.
A gift

I purchased this as a gift and not for myself. I was so thankful when my brother opened this and tried it out that I didnt get it for myself. He loves the fact that you can find recipes from all over the world. Hes made a list of things he wants to cook now. The only thing that bothered me, was the music! Alas, he loves it though, so Im happy.

This was purchased for my grandchild. She is 11 and enjoys the personal trainer very much. Her opinion was that "its AWESOME!" She has used the recipes numerous times and just loves it and her family liked most of the food.
