Jamie Oliver bringing Cooking Guide style game to DS
Atari have announced that the incredibly annoying TV chef Jamie Oliver will be jumping aboard the interactive cookbook bandwagon that the recently released Cooking Guide by Nintendo started. His title will be called What’s Cooking? With Jamie Oliver, and it will apparently be available just in time for Christmas.
The game will take players through many cooking situations, letting them sort out lists for shopping, telling budding cooks how to arrange and prepare food for best results, and most importantly instructing everyone on how to serve up meals. All in all, it sounds just like Nintendo’s Cooking Guide, which begs the question why not just buy that instead?
“I really want to get as many people as I can cooking simple, tasty food, so I’m really excited about bringing a book’s worth of my recipes to a game for the first time,” said Jamie Oliver, who mysteriously did not use the words “pukka” or “wicked” at all.

This should be with the rest of the shit on TV, not as a game what the hell is the DS becoming.

Few people can cook these days so I see this as a good thing. Like him or not the more people using fresh ingredients the better.
Is Pukka Pie on the menu?

To be honest, my wife has one of this cook books, and I have to say I’ve really enjoyed the meals she’s made from it. Putting it onto the DS is the next step IMO… it’s a bit like a eBook with real time instructions. We’ve used the Cooking Guideon DS and it’s brill! I can imagine this being similar, but using his recipes. He may be a cockerny twat, but he knows his stuff when it comes to food!
