Cooking Mama is a Nintendo DS game that puts you in the role of a culinary maestro, as you prepare meals and get scored on them. Think small-scale Iron Chef. I'm told the recipes and techniques can actually be used in the kitchen from this game, so it doubles as a cookbook (sort-of) too.
It brings something new to the DS, and appeals to the more adult audience of the game system. Cooking Mama also makes good use of the stylus and microphone interactivity; by blowing on the mic, it will cool the food, and drawing circles on the touchpad mimics the stirring action.
