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 you're looking for by helping you browse by country,
ingredients, difficulty, cooking time, cooking technique or even
calorie count. Once you've 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 you've got your ingredients, it's
time to start cooking. The DS Chef is there with you, talking you
through every step along the way. Don't know how to fillet a
trout? Watch the demonstration video when you get to that step.
Didn't 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 , marking what you've made and when
you made it. Later, you can search by whether or not you've 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 re, so you
can simply write out that you're looking for a "sweet" something.
Finally, that same handwriting re 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.
