IGN

Cooking's touch screen interface is clean, but the voice commands and audio help are what really make traditional cookbooks seem outdated. This "Touch Generations" title may be intended to draw more non-gamers into the fold, but this is software that truly is for everyone.

Cheat Code Central

This package surpasses the novelty of having a slew of recipes and a personal backup up chef teaching you the ropes.

NGamer UK

It's great for anyone who wants to learn to cook a bit more adventurously or simply expand their repertoire with something that isn't a celebrity cookbook. [Sept 2008, p.71]

AceGamez

It is an interactive cookbook and a truly excellent one at that.

This is a well-made package that takes advantage of the handheld's capabilities as much as you could hope any interactive recipe guide would.

Worth Playing

Personal Trainer: Cooking is perfect for bored housewives (or husbands — let's not discriminate) who have extra spending money and a passion for new flavors and tastes.

Pocket Gamer UK

Absolutely not a video game in any shape or form – but something that's more immediately useful than Brain Training and its ilk.

Sizzling just below perfection yet leaving a pleasant taste in the mouth, Cooking Guide is a unexpectedly novel idea pulled off successfully

DarkZero

Of course, it won’t make cooking any more entertaining if you already find it a bit of a chore, but if you just want to be entertained you could also sit back a look at Gordon Ramsey curse his way through an episode of The F Word.
