Follow real recipes or experiment with your own combinations to create a culinary masterpiece with your stylus. Create 76 different, real world dishes from fried eggs to cabbage meat rolls. By mastering the first 15 recipes you can unlock 61 increasingly complex bonus recipes to expand your skills in the kitchen. The stylus is your master kitchen tool. Use it in more than 200 mini-games to chop, slice, pan fry, knead, grate, mash, tenderize, mix, peel, carve, roll and more. Once your dish is ready, you can even use the stylus to prepare the final layout of your meal. Cool food down by blowing into the Nintendo DS microphone. Combine recipes to create more advanced dishes. Share recipes with up to 4 other people or transfer a saved game to a friend via the DS wireless link. Earn bronze, silver and gold medals based on the quality of your cooking. Practice mode lets you finetune your cooking skills without being judged. [Majesco]

The cheery 'bloop-de-bleep' repeated throughout the entire game is enough to make ears bleed.

Our only technical beef with the game is the occasionally spotty touch screen control. Some of the minigame commands aren't as responsive as they could be, leading to bad grades on dishes you know you're nailing. Other than that, everything here works great - just take your time and don't expect too much.

Sadly, the only multiplayer mode included is a downloadable demo you can distribute to your friends -- we would have loved a cooking contest a la Iron Chef, where the highest scoring player across a series of mini-games would win the fame and glory. Still, the mini-games can be fun.
