Jamie Oliver is set to be the star of a new DS title. Following on the back of Nintendo's Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat, Atari has announced What's Cooking? With Jamie Oliver for DS and it features 100 recipes from the celebrity chef.
Each recipe will feature voice recognition and, as with Nintendo's Cooking Guide, an interactive shopping list automatically saves ingredients from chosen recipes and organises them by food type. You can also add any other items you want to the list using the keypad or text recognition.
Yet unlike Cooking Guide, you'll be encouraged to create your own recipes using ingredients featured in What's Cooking? Up to 100 of your own unique recipes can be saved on the Nintendo DS to be recreated in the kitchen later and you can share them with friends using Wi-Fi Connection.

While Cooking Guide is essentially a cook book, Jamie's offering will throw in a few challenges which have you using the stylus to chop, stir and serve in a variety of virtual real-time 3D kitchen settings. You can then challenge your friends and family to a cook-off or beat the clock.
"I really want to get as many people as I can cooking simple, tasty food, so I'm really excited about bringing a book's worth of my recipes to a game for the first time," said Jamie Oliver. "You can cook my recipes for real at home or in the game's 3D kitchens, but what's brilliant is that you can come up with your own recipes then share them with your mates and family over wi-fi. Lovely."
