Prepare the ingredients, ready the recipes, and cook a delicious meal! Use every skill you got to cut, cook, grill, and bake in this fun cooking simulation video game for the Nintendo DS - Cooking Mama!As I have already stated in my preview the concept for Cooking Mama is utterly fantastic. To think that there are still companies out there that want to be original, that want to make something new and that want make use of Nintendo’s technology is quite heart warming to me. Cooking Mama 5 isn’t the deepest or freshest experience around — it’s an iterative rather than innovative entry in a series whose core concept of stylus-based cooking gameplay remains the same as ever — but for the right audience it’s a whole lot of fun. Master chefs looking for a challenge won’t find much to satisfy them here, but series fans, younger gamers, and anyone with an appetite for fine food, cuteness, and simple mini-games will definitely enjoy what Mama’s got cooking. A free app for Apple iPhone OS that was released on May 1, 2009. The game is a watered down version of the first Cooking Mama game and only featured one recipe: Hamburger Stewed in Tomato Sauce. Tetris 99. Pac-Man 99. Super Mario Bros. 35 99. Flake 99. Oh, no, sorry, that last one's a delicious summertime treat, not a video game. But you get the point: we're seeing a new trend emerge, even though it's based on an old new trend: the Battle Royale.

The creators of Cooking Mama responded to the PETA in a press release stating that " I would never put rat in my Ratatouille", and indicated that some of Mama's recipes are vegetarian. PETA stated that they were happy with the upcoming release of Gardening Mama, a spin-off of the series.
