Atari tells DS users they’ll be cooking with the Naked Chef

Cooking Mama frustrated quite a few people because it provided fun dishes to make, but never told exactly how they were created. Apparently Atari decided that it needed to remedy that situation, and it has – with the help of The Naked Chef Jamie Oliver. At E3 the company announced the forthcoming DS “game”, What’s Cooking? with Jamie Oliver. It will be available Winter 2008.

What’s Cooking? with Jamie Oliver is more like an educational program, with some occasional mini-games tossed in. There are 100 of Jamie Oliver’s recipes included in the game, with pictures of each one, voice recognition so you can find out what is next without having to touch the DS with dirty hands, a built in shopping list, cooking mini-games, the ability to put 100 of your own recipes in the game and the ability to share your personal recipes with others over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
