O-Ryouri Recipes makes us hungry for cooking games

We've got a small selection of language games now, and exercise games are on the way. We're even getting a weight loss game. So why haven't we seen any cooking games in the U.S. yet? They're non-games that we actually want, and Nintendo and other companies are just refusing to release them. Every time we see a new cooking game in Japan, it already feels like another missed opportunity.

The latest is Kou-chan no Shiawase! Kantan! O-Ryouri Recipe, or "Kou-chan's Simple! Fun! Cooking Recipes." "Kou-chan" is Kouji Aida, a restaurant cook who started a recipe blog and then became a celebrity, with hit cookbooks and frequent television appearances. And now he's got a DS game featuring 300 recipes, including the delicious-looking chicken rice gratin seen here.
