Nintendo DS Serves Up; What’s Cooking? With Jamie Oliver

/></a></p> <p>This October, British celebrity chef <a href=

Jamie Oliver will be releasing a handhold cooking game on Nintendo DS.

I’m really excited about bringing a book’s worth of my recipes to a game for the first time. You can cook my recipes for real at home or in the game’s 3D kitchens, but what’s brilliant is that you can come up with your own recipes then share them with your mates and family over wi-fi. Lovely.

The game will include a series of real-time virtual challenges that involve real-life chopping, stirring, and plating; recipe cook-offs with other players; and a timed competition against the clock. All of this will take place in three-dimensional kitchen settings with measures of quality and taste.
