Description: Take your first steps to become an expert CyberChef with CyberCook Taster, a tasty slice of the world’s first hyper-realistic and time-sensitive cooking simulator. Go beyond the passive and reactive nature of cookbooks, videos and TV as you learn to cook meals hands-on in a virtual kitchen. With no mess or waste, CyberCook allows you to try your hand at an ever-expanding library of dishes, experiencing cuisines and ingredients from around the globe. Immerse yourself in this mouth-watering virtual treat for the Samsung Gear VR. So does it cook up a tasty VR dish or does it let the gameplay cakes go soggy in the middle?
Review: Straight from the moment the narrator starts talking you realise this is not Cooking Mama, this is Raymond Blanc cooking and he is doing it in a presenting style. Everything flows and while we really do believe we might be able to remember some of it and cook the meals listed in real life, it all looks twice as tasty in VR. Everything looks amazing and you will believe you can almost smell the food cooking as the smoke rises from it. For those of us who can’t cook (anyone in the VR shop office), this could be a groundbreaking and life-changing app.
