Once that’s done, you’ll need to wash the rice - tapping to add water, spinning to rinse, and tilting the 3DS to drain the bowl - and then steam it by dragging it to the steamer, folding over the cloth, and pressing to turn up the heat until you’re happy with the result. ![]() Then you’ll mince green onion with rapid-fire tapping, stir soy flour with carefully timed taps, and squeeze edamame out of their pods with gentle stylus flicks, before grinding up the mixture in a mortar and pestle by spinning the contents and flicking them back to the centre to regroup. To make mouthwatering mochi, for example, you’ll first need to grate some white radish by sliding the stylus left to right, and tapping to clean out the grater. ![]() Whipping up each dish is accomplished via a series of discrete micro-games, which use a combination of stylus, tilt sensor, and microphone inputs to craft a fun, arcade-style cooking experience. Here you’ll find sixty recipes for everything from sweet treats and appetizers to full meals and more, and while the menu tends towards traditional Japanese dishes, there’s a wide range of flavours overall. Stepping into Mama’s kitchen, most players will want to head straight for Let’s Cook, the bread-and-butter of the Cooking Mama experience. A serious lack of challenge means it won’t be for everyone, but kids and foodies with a taste for cute cuisine and simple, stylus-based mini-games will find plenty to like in Mama’s latest culinary adventure. Mama may have branched out since then, but her flagship title’s stayed a steady course of cooking fun across several sequels, including Cooking Mama 5: Bon Appétit, the newest 3DS release in the series. ![]() Majesco’s Mama is nothing if not prolific with nearly a dozen main titles and spin-offs on DS, 3DS, Wii, and iOS, spanning genres as diverse as gardening, babysitting, and crafting, it’s easy to forget that it all started with a whisk in 2006’s Cooking Mama for the DS.
