While the DS elves are busy tinkering away tosatisfy the hardcore gamer, Atari has got you covered in the kitchen with their upcoming gameWhat’s Cooking? with Jamie Oliver. Featuring the celebrity cook of Naked Chef fame, the game has dual properties for both the gamer and the food fanatic. Players will be able to sift through 100 of Oliver’s original recipes and practice virtually cooking them á laCooking Mamastyle with a more realistic twist.

Once you get home and you get down and dirty with the ingredients, the interactive cookbook will deliver you the recipe steps hands-free, with voice activation used to get you to the next step.
In the original spirit of Oliver’s creative cooking style, the game also allows you to add your own recipes or change the ones already provided.What’s Cooking? With Jamie Oliveris expected to be released this fall in October.
