Game Description

What's better than a fun cooking game? A fun cooking game that actually functions as a working cookbook and shopping guide! Over 100 recipes from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver are included with this game, as well as 100 slots for your own original creations. You'll use the Stylus to stir, pour, and serve, as well as manage multiple plates, work temperature dials, and put things in the oven. Work your way from simple pancakes all the way to roasted bream with ratatouille. You'll get to manipulate the plate to make sure the presentation is just right. Voice recognition technology will let you turn pages even if you have your hands full!
