    Let’s face it: you wouldn’t buy this “game” as a game because (a) there’s no element of competition except against a clock and (b) there’s only so much game designers can do to mimic cooking techniques with a stylus.

    You would buy this game because it’s Jamie Oliver on the cover, and Jamie Oliver is famous for encouraging people to cook food well. In short, you’re buying this “game” because of Jamie’s recipes.

    There are 100 of them included here, which is okay for a bargain cookbook but a bit slender for $30. So the features need to make it up in order to be worth it. The fact that you get to prepare the recipe in the “test kitchen” means you get a dress rehearsal, of sorts, before trying it out for real, and that does count for something if you’re just learning to cook.

    There’s also that “shopping list” mode which lets you get a grocery list for whichever recipe you plan to cook. Some gamer critics say taking a DS into the supermarket will make you look like a geek, but given that Jamie Oliver’s normal cookbooks are the size and weight of two laptops, toting a DS when shopping is preferable to lugging one of those cookbooks around.

    What we have here, then, is a basic cooking tutor on Nintendo DS, whose selling point is that the recipes included have Jamie Oliver vouching for their palatability when prepared right. Best advice: wait a few months for the price to come down a bit, if you’re a JO fan.

    As for good cooking games as “games,” you’d probably have more fun with “Cooking Mama.”

    What’s Cooking? With Jamie Oliver

    I like this game for so many reasons!

    1. Jamie Oliver’s giving you direction and instructions that are simple and easy to follow.
    2. Recipes are created using real ingredients, unlike Cooking Mama
    3. Not only is this a cooking tool, there are also really fun and cool games
    4. Equally as entertaining to my 9 yo who feels like he’s actually cooking. So if he burns the eggs, its only in the game, not in my kitchen and he can keep starting over until he gets it right (and so can I).

    Awesome!

    I love this game. I spent hours trying to make the brownies because I couldn’t get the egg cracked or forgot to grease the pan. Once I got the hang of it, I was thrilled to get my rating. It was funny because I was thinking I could have gone into my own kitchen and made real brownies in less time. Within days, I had unlocked all the kitchens. Now I get to unlock additional recipes.

    Great game!

    Excellent resource for serious outdoor cooks.

    Never knew BBQ was such big business, or how much I did not know about great grill cooking. Fun story, many many tips (basic AND advanced) step by step from the Masters in this movie.

    I may not be ready for the big time but these secrets helped make me queen of the grill at my house. Highly recommended.

    This review is from: BBQ Secrets – The Master Guide To Extraordinary Barbecue Cookin’ (DVD)

    This video was more a commercial for each of the restaraunts as opposed to a “Master Guide”. There were no secrets given and the basics that were given were so basic that I’m sure they were trying to speak to a group of 6th graders – home economics class. I am so upset with this purchase that when my wife offered to sell it in our next garage sale I told her no for fear of someone else wasting their money on this waste of a video.

    This is a very informative video. I am an experienced hot smoking fanatic and I picked up several tips from the video. It is money well spent, in my opinion. The gentlemen providing instruction in the video all have winning credentials and are passionate in what they do. I took notes and have since applied some of the techniques with very delicious results. It is an excellent addition to ones personal library.
