School dinner-lady bothering, ‘pukka’ shouting, all-round-cheeky-chappy, Jaime Oliver has spoken about his upcoming cooking game for the Nintendo DS: ‘What’s Cooking? With Jamie Oliver’.

The celebrity chef spoke about how he worked with the developer – Atari – and how he enjoys gaming and technology.

“Gaming is something I’ve been interested in for a while,” Oliver said. “I love technology, and the chance to combine that with something that inspires people to cook? I find that very exciting,” he said

“The guys from Atari came to me with an idea and we played around with it and now it’s a really great piece of kit.

“I hope it will appeal to everyone from kids who are into food, young blokes who want to learn about cooking, women who are into cooking and gamers… everyone really.”

Atari say that Jamie is not just a marketing tool (yeah right); but that he worked along side the developer to ensure the game had the right mix of ingredients.

The game also acts as a cook book with over 100 recipes from the man himself, as well as an interactive shopping list you can take down to your local supermarket.

Sounds like Atari and Jamie have cooked up a storm. Sorry…
