Having Fun With Online Cooking Games
- Image via Wikipedia
Cooking games are the new online rave. People from all over the world discover the chef in themselves with these games, which allow them to experiment with different ingredients, create new recipes or just prepare their standard dishes in a race against the clock or other gamers. Cooking games come in several varieties, so you can always find something that can entertain you from a few minutes to whole hours.
Regarding the video game console market, Nintendo has made available its new cooking game, appropriately called, Cooking Mama. The game is available for Nintendo's latest portable video game console, the DS, and it features the consoles microphone, stylus and touch screen in order to give you the best cooking simulator so far. Unlike other games, Cooking Mama doesn't require you to press buttons. Instead, you use the stylus to simulate cooking processes, such as chopping, mixing, flipping things, and the like. In addition, you can also use the DS microphone to cool hot food by blowing at it.
The game features 15 basic recipes. As you progress and complete these, you unlock more complex recipes, so you end up with a little more than 75 recipes to play with. The first ones, as you can imagine, are very simple, while the last ones can be really complex and require several steps carried out with perfect timing and order. And to top it off, you're playing against the clock, so you have to have fast thinking and good reflexes as well. There are many types of online cooking games in the web. Cooking games are really fun and it is very entertaining thing, every girl knows about it!
Dishes come from all over the world. However, since its a game made in Japan, there might be just a little too many Japanese recipes that Western games haven't heard about. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it allows players to be exposed to a different culinary art, and gives them ideas on what to order next time they go to a Japanese restaurant.
If this game doesnt appeal to you, there are other options on Internet that you can try out. Unlike a portable video game console cartridge, an online cooking game will be free and as easy to play as opening your e-mail. One type of game requires you to move along a big, large kitchen, flipping pancakes. Its much more challenging than it looks, as you have to flip them both sides in time or they'll burn.

So, as you can see, no matter what your type of game is, there is something out there for you.

I really liked your blog! However, I found a contradicting article at Ezine. Are you sure about this?
I did not write this article it was an import from UAW which might explain any perceived or actual contradiction. Thank you though for your positive comments on my blog, thank you too for visiting and I do hope you come back again soon.
My mother has this game and she absolutely loves it!
Thank you for your feedback on this game, I am sure a few of our readers will appreciate it.
Hi,
This is definitely interesting niche for a game. I don’t really get why it would be fun, but I’m not really a type of person that would buy this game.
thanks for sharing.
Yes I thought so too but thanks you visiting and commenting.
I’ve found that a lot of online cooking are sexist.
These kind of games are what is changing the direction of the entire industry. 3-4 years ago, this type of market never existed. We have come a long way in “gaming”.
We certainly have Chris and no doubt we still have a ways to go.
Hi Lorette,
why you claim this blog is dofollow if you use nofollow tag? This is not fair for your commentators. I’m making a list with blogs with keywordluv, but nofollow, a shame list, and this blog will be there. I’m sorry.
Hi Robert
It is a shame that you are so quick to condemn. The reason for the nofollow was temporary as my dofollow plugin was deactivated while I changed servers. It certainly is back on again now.

Pleased if was helpful to you and thanks for visiting.
On the web, there are a lot of good cooking games to help you appreciate better the excitement of real cooking games, and help you see if your impatience, or sometimes lack of concentration can be something that does not happen when you are in front of the computer (read: you may just be imagining that that bad habit exists!). All in all, you will learn something new while keeping yourself occupied in the art of culinary delights

Hi. Outstanding job. This is a great post. Thanks!
Thanks Donna and hope you pop in a visit DSU again soon.
great post. I think these cooking games are great, they can really teach kids some basic recipes and this can be really good. I hope this helps kids get into the kitchen.
Hi John – Thanks for visiting and for your comments. I absolutely agree with you about helping kids get into the kitchen and most of them seem to enjoy getting involved. In my case though it is helping me get back there too, I never was the greatest cook and my family were grateful that their Dad was excellent in the kitchen.
