Learning from Cooking Games



There’s a lot to learn from cooking games. Sure, you might just think you’re perfecting your hamburger toss, but you might actually learn a bit more than you (and your parents) think you are:

You’re developing terrific hand-eye coordination. It’s true! Video games, especially ones that require speed will help to build very important hand-eye coordination. Next time your parents tell you to go to bed, simply let them know you’re practicing for the major leagues or your future career as a brain surgeon.

You’re getting great recipe ideas. Do you have any idea how much money Rachel Ray and Emeril are making? Every great chef has to get her start somewhere – why not learn in an enjoyable environment?

You’re learning to pace yourself. Instant gratification isn’t good for anyone. If you want to perfect the perfect pizza, it’s going to take a bit of heart and soul – and more than just a few seconds.

You’re learning how to kill time. Waiting for an important date or phone call? Why wear out yourself out twiddling your thumbs or pacing the room? Kill time the beneficial way – playing cooking games!
