Game Description

Wouldn't it be great to have your own personal chef in your house to help you as you make dinner? Now you can! Choose from more than 245 different recipes from more than 30 countries around the world. Your DS Chef will take you step by step through every recipe, turning the page with a simple voice command and adjusting portion sizes by merely tapping the touch screen. You can choose by region or country, or you can limit your choices by different filters, like short cooking times, low calorie foods, or specific ingredients. You can use it as a shopping list and save notes, just like a paper recipe book!
