L.A. Parent Cooks!
Friday, November 21, 2008 at 07:30PM
We have a winner! L.A. Parent's Associate Editor Ronna Mandel trekked over to the Whole Foods Market Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena yesterday to check out the press launch of Personal Trainer: Cooking, a new interactive cooking coach for Nintendo DS that comes out on Nov. 24.
Ronna, like me, is a bit of a stranger to a skillet, so she was somewhat tentative when she found out there would be a competition similar to the TV game show Supermarket Sweep followed by some kitchen time. Media folks were to be divided into teams, after which they received their recipes, and, using the new "cooking coach," raced through the Whole Foods Market.
Imagine Ronna's surprise when she and her teammate won!
For her hard work, Ronna brought home a huge copper trophy, a Whole Foods gift certificate, a copy of the game and, of course, the honor of having represented L.A. Parent so well by simply serving up lentil soup. Congratulations, Ronna!
Despite all the hulabaloo surrounding the press event, Ronna says the game is actually a great tool for nonchefs and could be a huge help to tweens and teens trying to find their way in the kitchen. Potential chefs can choose from more than 245 recipes, which include pictures (also helpful, Ronna says), shopping lists and other useful features. Overall, the title offers a unique and helpful way to use an electronic device that is primarily for gaming.
