Do you know what you should get a epicurean/gourmet/foodie who owns a Nintendo DS? Not a food game like Diner Dash, but a cook book software called Personal Trainer: Cooking.

Essentially a cook book with a heck more stuff thrown in, including step-by-step guides with voice overs, cooking tips, creating shopping lists, recipe search, and even voice command support (to go back and forth through the step-by-step guides), Personal Trainer: Cooking takes the cake as the most useful non-game Nintendo DS software ever created.

Tell you what, I’m gonna use the recipes for pizza dough and tomato sauce (both from Personal Trainer: Cooking) to try and create a Chicago style deep-dish pizza. Let’s see how that goes.

In the mean time, you can purchase Personal Trainer: Cooking, at Play-Asia, and at just USD 24.90, it’s a bargain of a Christmas stocking stuffer.
