Did someone say learn how to cook?

My unqiue concept for a Kinect game involves another passion of mine and thats cooking. So it came to me why not have a Kinect game that teaches you how to cook a meal right on the spot. I can understand flaws like "Hey Adam, who has a Kinect set up in their kitchen" but maybe this whole concept can be the new way to learn cooking in general. I think it would be neat and affective.

The game should defintiatly include modes of diffuculties. This can like noob chef ,sou chief, professional chef. The mode of diffuculties would be defined from the amount of preparation, to how long a meal would take to cook. So least amount of preparation and time making the meal would be for begginers and the more extensive work would be for the professionals. Ofcourse over time you can learn from the game to become a pro chef.

From my experience, thier are some main compenents and lesson to learn to becoming a good chef. So the game should not just show you how to cook a great meal and thats it. In the main menu their should be cooking lessons on how to cut properly(mainly vegetables) like julienne and Chiffonade. These are culinary terms and i think should tought in a game for a person who is considering doing this as a perfession, and athough this does not seem ethical but this could be a new wave of learning how to cook. Another cooking lessons that could be included is how to mesaure. This would invovle all basics measurements from tablespons to cups to pints. But i think the main key to mastering this is learning two cups equals: 16 oz  or 1 pt. and vice versa. This is important because chefs need to improvise if they do not have the right mesaurements.

These are some main keys to becoming a good chef and i think if the concept would come out it should be considered learning a new learning genre. Because its a game that will teach and the same time be fun. In the end this game would be a game that trains chefs but maybe for younger kids who can get a little head start if they wish to do this.
