"Where's the beef?"
I did a search for recipes with beef (a staple in our home) and it only came up with 4 recipes! Those recipes were definitely not "family friendly" as there is no way my kids will eat anything remotely "spicy," or containing ingredients you can't find at the typical grocer.

I'm very "kitchen-challenged" and ground beef is the only thing I have ever learned to cook to any degree of confidence.

I found it impossible to simply preview the recipes, as it wants to you to make it before you even really know if you think it would be good or not. Didn't seem to be able to handle an environment in which you can't talk (or can't be heard over other noises.)

Very disappointing.

"Dancing in the kitchen"
This was a complete surprise. Voice recognition worked well, but had to speak loud and clear. Only 245 recipes in the card, so limited a bit on choice. Things we liked were the different search options and the ability to set favorites. Another nice touch for those with food allergies or just plain old dislikes was the ability to exclude foods from the pre-defined list.

The food list did not include some fairly common items. In particular, turkey was missing. This seemed a bit odd.

The videos were informative, the steps were slightly vague and serving suggestions lacking.

Overall, a fun beginner's cookbook, basic tutorial and a way to try new dishes.

"Awesome Trainer Game!"
I have yet to have the time to try out one of the dishes, but so far this trainer game seems awesome! I have gone through and saved all of my favorites, and then marked down the ingredients to all of them that I do not have. Now, when I am ready to hit the store for all the items, it has created a shopping list for me of what I need!! How cool is that?! It also has voice regocnition capability, so that when you are cooking, if your hands are dirty, you can just say "next step" and the program will proceed to the next step of the cooking directions. I can't wait to try this out. Although there are quite a number of receipes listed, I wish there were more listed from the US. It has many receipes from other countries and such, but it does seem a bit limited. Either way, so far I really like this game/product. I would definitely recommend to others.

"Great Game, Semi-Great Selection"
This game is great. It teaches you how to cook dishes from all around the world, however, I've noticed thus far that many, many of the selections are of the seafood variety. This came sucks for those, who like me, cannot eat seafood or dislike the taste of seafood. So beware...If you do not eat seafood for whatever reason you may not want to invest in this game.

"Amazing Game! "
I got this game for Christmas and about a little bit afterwards I decided to try out a recipe. Since I love Greek Salads, I decided to make that one as an appitizer. So if I didn't like it I would have another dinner that I knew I'd like. Nintendo gave excellent step-by-step instructions on how to do it. The only problem I had with it was the steps went by a little too fast so I had to pause the game each time I got to a new step. The salad turned out being delicious, my family even wanting seconds. Before New Years my family and I are planning on making an actual meal from the game. The timing of how long it takes is correct just as long as you don't get distracted. They said it took 20 minutes and for us it took around 20/21 minutes to make. Mainly it was prep work but overall it was good it actually tasted like a Greek salad! Two thumbs up to Nintendo!
