Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What to Eat?
Release Date: 2008-11-24

Cooking Guide turns your Nintendo DS into an interactive cookbook, complete with
recipes and video demos.
  • Cooking Guide includes more than 200 recipes from around the world. So no
    matter what you’re in the mood for, you can find something new and tasty to
    make for dinner. Users can search a map by country to find regional dishes or
    select options for low-calorie foods, specific ingredients or short cooking times.
  • Each recipe contains step-by-step directions and photos to make it possible to
    prepare dishes you’ve never tried before. Use the stylus or simple voice
    commands to “turn the page.” A tap of the touch screen lets you adjust the serving
    size automatically, and users can write and save cooking notes, just as they would
    in a paper recipe book.
  • The Cooking Guide chef talks you through the entire cooking process. Recipes
    include photos of the dish as well as instructional videos on how to perform
    different cooking techniques, such as how to chop an onion or clean a fish. Users
    can access a handy reference function to explain unfamiliar terms and cooking
    techniques when they appear.
  • The software includes a timer and calculator, as well as a search function to help
    you find what you’re looking for. Cooking Guide also includes an ingredient
    checklist to use as a shopping list – just put a mark next to the items you need and
    bring your Nintendo DS to the grocery store.

This was the only thing that I found interesting from Nintendo's conference, but nothing really new compared to the original Cooking Navi.

It has the voice overs and videos of how to prepare things, but no magnetic clip..

I thought this was thread for the OT and was about to make a lame joke that it was another non-game for a Nintendo system. Wow. Fuck.

Glad to see this coming here: I just hope that they didn't cut out too much of the original Japanese selection of items. I know how to make some things, but this would be a handy way to learn how to make the stuff I'm still clueless on.

Yeah, I'm glad to see this coming the US. I almost thought it'd be forgotten.

But keeping in today's theme: oh no casual audience non-games oh noes.

The US version will also include information on how to make burgers, fries and so on.

Slightly more than the one here. In PAL land I think it has 214.

Exactly what I said. I've wanted Cooking Navi for so long, so I'm definitely getting this.

But it's the same thing that got released in Europe a few weeks back. Just import or something.

Honestly I initially alughed at this, but thinking about how I'd love to be able to cook but dont know the difference between chopping, mincing, slicing or what have you, I've been swayed.

I want this now.

No way. I'm not going to use centimeters or milliliters or any of that.

Sad to say but this was the only thing I found exciting about the Nintendo conference. I have been waiting for this game for a long time so I'm glad they finally announced it.

It seems like it already exists. Should probably be importable:

This is an actual non-game, different than what everyone calls a "non-game"...this is a book on a DS cart.

Could the final name be: "Personal Training: Cooking" ?

That's what Amazon and Buy.com say at least:
