While the selection isn’t as substantial as you’d see in a full-size cookbook, this is balanced by the compact, interactive nature of the program. In other words, it’s not the sort of thing to replace old cookbook standbys like Better Homes & Gardens or Real Simple… but as a complement, [...]

For a cookbook application, America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking is quite good. The voice controls can get a little spotty but everything else, from the audio directions to the presentation to the amount of recipes included, is great. With the emphasis on American dishes, this is more of a [...]

RawDad is the resident chef in my family, for better or worse. The most involved meals I make either involve the microwave, or pouring milk over some sort of cereal. RawDad at least tries some different meals, even if they don’t turn out to his liking.

No, it's not Metroid or Mario or even Sin & Punishment, but ask yourself one question: Will any of those games teach you how to create your own sustenance? Unless you're planning on cooking up some fried Skree with your arm-mounted energy cannon, the answer is no. So, since even the most avid gamers get tired of ramen and Red Bull, Nintendo presents America's Test Kitchen: Let's Get Cooking for the DS. The "game" teaches you how to make real food and, bizarrely, was developed by Indies Zero, the same folks that brought us Retro Game Challenge.
It contains 300 recipes provided by America's Test Kitchen, which you may have seen on public television. The game supports voice controls and multiple profiles, allowing different members of the family (or dorm, commune, etc.) to take on different tasks required by each recipe. It also includes age settings, just in case you're not quite ready for little Timmy to handle the meat cleaver. And, for the cooking impaired, America's Test Kitchen even includes handy tutorial videos to explain the more difficult bits.
America's Test Kitchen hits shelves March 28 for $19.99.
