I'm almost speechless...

...but not quite. I stumbled upon the news of a Jamie Oliver video game this morning. (Yes, I had to re-read that sentence as well as it doesn't seem right.) Here's the premise behind it:

The game will include a series of real-time virtual challenges that involve real-life chopping, stirring, and plating; recipe cook-offs with other players; and a timed competition against the clock. All of this will take place in three-dimensional kitchen settings with measures of quality and taste.

The game will feature 100 original Jamie Oliver recipes such as Italian Tomato and Bread Salad, Pea and Goat Cheese Risotto and Mrs. Oliver’s Chocolate Pudding - all accompanied by real-life photographs by David Loftus who has worked on most of Jamie’s cookbooks, space for 100 of your own recipes, a shopping list mode, and competitive cooking game mode.

And here's some screen shots of the game if you're still having trouble wrapping your head around it:
Call me crazy (crazy), but I think I might stick with the Jamie Oliver cookbooks!
