Now comes America's Test Kitchen: Let's get cooking. One of the complaints I read in reviews was how Personal Trainer had many foreign dishes. (Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.) This sequel responses by giving us some of the most common American recipes. All of the original features are here that made the first book so good. Now with new features like a calender that lets you add birthdays and special events. And reminds you upon turning on the the DSi how many days to the event. You can exclude ingredients for food allergies, Assign task for family members, send some of the recipes to other DSi. Review your dishes, place notes, mark on the calender what you've done or tell it to place recipes that your interested in doing in your try it folder. Set a date or just mark it as soon. and video clips show you step by step how to do the more dificult task.
My only complaint is that they removed the serving program. It was on Personal trainer and allowed you to reduce or increase the number of servings and it calculated the change in measurements based on those changes. My only guess is that with all they added they had to sacrifice that option. I miss it but not enough to reduce my rating.
This program is great for the bachelor, college student on their own or for parents to give their children to teach self reliance with learning how to cook a meal. With supervision of course. a great gift for any of those reason or if you just want to buy a cook book.
This is a great idea. I hope that famous chefs decide to produce a DSi version of their cook books. Bobby flay, Emeril, or Rachel Ray would be great for this format.
She was telling me that this is actually a TV show and that it's a great show. It sounds like this DS game is a portable version of the show that you can take with you if you don't have access to a TV. She really loves this game still (we got it for her back in 2010).
I think a person w/ at least some basic cooking skills would appreciate this game. Some basic knowledge and adequate cooking utensils are required for this game.
The game has many different recipes ranging from different ingredients and locations. In this particular version, the player can browse recipes save them for later and then arrange a shopping list for ingredients. The game's virtual chef will guide the player w/ step by step insructions on how to prepare and cook the dishes.
Usually the game has two or three stages for each recipe/dish. First, it will guide you through the preparation. It will tell you what to gather, chop, and prepare. The second is the cooking stage where there are step by step instructions on how to cook the dish.
This is pretty cool because, instead of playing a game where you cook fake stuff, you can actually create something tangible and edible at the end of the game.
Recipes include;
Thanksgiving dishes
Salads
Latin dishes (like South American dishes, Mexican, and Spain
Asian cuisine
Italian food
South Asian food
European
etc. .. (I don't remember exactly, but I know that the international version has food categorized by countries from all over the world. America's test kitchen uses a lot of these same recipes, except it adds a lot more typical dishes from the US.)

日本版にはない機能(複数のDSでレシピをシェア(dl)し、調理担当を決めてみんなで料理する。イベント日を設定して、メニューを選ぶ、またはお勧めのメニューから決定するなど(スーパーボウルの日のメニューなどアメリカの食文化を知れたりしてとても楽しめました。)が充実しています。
もちろん『しゃべって指示してくれる』のはすべて英語ですので、リスニングの勉強にとてもなります。
