While some games promote exercise and others pump up your thumb muscles, this new DS title does something every parent can get on board with: it teaches cooking fundamentals. With over 245 recipes on hand (or handheld), it’s like having a tiny Rachael Ray in-house. Use the stylus to making shopping lists, check out video demos, or browse recipes by country, ingredients, difficulty, cooking time, cooking technique or even calorie count. Once your hands are all buttered up, you can use voice commands to flip pages. It even keeps track of recipes you’ve already sampled.
