More than I love writing about videogames (and button-mashing too), I love to cook. Imagine my delight when I got my hands on Personal Trainer Cooking for the DS.
It's fantastic for the beginner or the experienced foodie with close to 300 recipes representing world cuisines, ridiculously easy voice commands, shopping features, equipment and ingredient glossaries, and technique video.
All this is jammed in a system that fits in the palm of your hand and can easily pop into your bag for a quick run to the grocery store.
i assumed there would be no competition from Geek Boy on this one. Surely a cooking game couldn't beat out sessions on the Wii with Animal Crossing?
Sadly I was mistaken. Geek Boy grabbed it and began exploring Vietnamese spring rolls, Australian meat pies and Mexican salsa and tortillas. Will calamari be next?
There is an upside. He'll learn to cook and I can get kitchen duty off.
Rated E for Everyone ought to know how to cook fabulous food. What a great holiday gift!
