Next, check what ingredients you require, Cooking Guide: Can’t decide what to eat? will provide a check list, which you can actually mark off with the Nintendo DS stylus. If you are missing ingredients you can put them on the ‘Shopping List’ and even take your Nintendo DS with you to the supermarket. Once you’ve checked your ingredients you’re ready to work with the Nintendo DS chef on your meal.
