You can’t get a real cookbook that cheap! It’s basically an interactive cookbook on your DS where you can view more than 200 international recipes and have a virtual chef call out the steps to cook your selected dish.

When I went to PAX, tucked away in a little corner of Destineer’s booth was a game with one of the weirdest names I have ever heard. I just had to try it out. Turns out it was a pretty fun demo.
