Gigglepoo · (07-24-2006, 08:05 AM)

Wait a second... Sweet and Sour? I'm intrigued...

loosus · (07-24-2006, 08:05 AM)

Oh, man, it says you got a 29 out of 40. MUST TASTE LIKE SHIT DUDE

Neat idea. Maybe women will pick it up.

Jive Turkey · (07-24-2006, 08:06 AM)

that would be page 29 of 40

argon · (07-24-2006, 08:07 AM)

There are only 40 recipes? Or is that just a subset?

Ferrio · (07-24-2006, 08:07 AM)

I play games to ignore the real world, not interact with it!

40 STEPS, not recipes.

There are 200+ recipes in this electric cookbook.

Hey Jonny! I am glad that your wife says it tastes good. I am going to get my copy real soon, can't wait to cook my wife something!!!

40 pages of 1 recipe

bluemax · (07-24-2006, 08:11 AM)

That looks pretty good. English version please come out! Haha, cause I don't have enough cookbooks yet...

TurtleSnatcher · (07-24-2006, 08:13 AM)

wow.. amazing..

english version plz =[

loosus · (07-24-2006, 08:13 AM)

Hey, what kinda stuff does it have? I mean, does it have non-Japanese stuff? Or, stuff you wouldn't traditionally think of as Japanese, however you want to say it.

So how well does the DS as a cookbook thing actually work?

Bo130 · (07-24-2006, 08:14 AM)

I'm so getting this. Looks delicious :)

cvxfreak · (07-24-2006, 08:14 AM)

I want this cookbook to come out in English ASAP.

Spencerr · (07-24-2006, 08:15 AM)

good idea for non gamers like moms and such. Should be cheap though.

sprsk · (07-24-2006, 08:15 AM)

are you using it again tonight

Jonnyram · (07-24-2006, 08:16 AM)

It's basically all Japanese stuff... including the usual Japanese variants of other asian dishes. I'm hoping it'll come out in the UK with a nice Yorkshire Pudding recipe. Sure I could resort to cookbooks too, I guess, but it's so convenient being able to yell at the DS to turn the page and having it speak to you so you don't need to be hovering over the pages every other minute.

Also, it has this awesome feature where you can select the number of people you want to cook for and it automatically changes the ingredient amounts :)

Can you tell it what ingredients you have in your house and have it suggest what you can make from it?

Is Cuisine Navi based on any popular cookbooks in Japan?

Wow.... those are actually some good features. When I move out if this is in the US I might have to order it online to spare the embarassment!

I don't think so, though the Tsuji Cooking Academy took care of providing the recipes.

Yeah, supposedly. I haven't tried this feature though, as it would take ages to do that for our place.

That's the magic of the speech interaction - you can keep it in a safe place and just yell at it.

I hadn't planned to... I might be more of a weekend chef as I'm usually pretty knackered when I get home from work. I want to try the "Set Menu" feature, though, to see how it copes with cooking a few recipes at the same time, since that's usually how Japanese meals are made up.

TurtleSnatcher · (07-24-2006, 08:27 AM)

famous chefs in japan will start using this and soon all the food will taste the same..

Nintendominaton.

Famous chefs don't use cook books. Has Iron Chef taught you nothing?

Scalemail Ted · (07-24-2006, 08:29 AM)

Wow, this really does sound like an awesome piece of software.

That's awesome. Every cookbook needs to have this feature.

That reminds of that picture someone took with Pictochat open asking if anyone wanted to play Pokemon Dash but everyone was playing PSP... Ah how the times have changed.

I wonder why it reminds you of that.
