What’s Cooking? Jamie Oliver *Nintendo DS *£29.99

Taking a break from his campaign to teach Rotherham residents how to knock up a stir-fry, the most successful small-screen celebrity chef of our time turns his attention to conquering the even smaller screens of the Nintendo DS. This is yet another of those ‘edutainment’ titles that seem to be all the rage right now. Essentially a virtual cookbook with portable capabilities, in aims to instruct and inform in the kitchen, by the barbeque or while scanning supermarket shelves. The recipes are cracking Oliver fare, with high quality photography to match, but this type of idea doesn’t fit the DS medium. As a result, it’s likely to become another obscure cooking ingredient relegated to the back of the cupboard.
