As fun as cooking shows are, watching television will not give you the skills necessary to cook like a pro. That's what video games are for! At least, that's the thinking behind Cook or Be Cooked, a new kitchen-centric game for the Wii that featured Michael Symon as a creative consultant. Says the Iron Chef star, "People come up to me all the time and say, 'Oh, I love to watch Food Network,' and I ask them what they cook, and they say, 'I don't really cook.' They're afraid, they're intimidated, they know all about food from eating out and watching TV, but they don't know where to start in their own kitchen. This gives them a place to start."
