(Contest now closed, drawing on Monday) Enter to Win Jamie Oliver’s Nintendo DS Game!

To celebrate our 200th post this week, we’re holding our first-ever contest!

The prize brings together two of our favorite things here at The Mouse House: Cooking and…video games! (My friends will tell you that I’m secretly still a 12-year-old.)

I’m giving away 3 copies of Jamie Oliver’s What’s Cooking game for the Nintendo DS

I’ve played it myself (on my pink Nintendo DS Lite) and it’s really pretty cool. Here’s a peek at the game trailer:

How to enter to win Jamie Oliver’s What’s Cooking Nintendo DS Game

Allow me to take your order! To enter, simply leave a comment on this post and answer the following question:

Make a request. What would you like me to cook or bake for The Hungry Mouse?

The prize: Jamie Oliver’s Nintendo DS Game

Win one of three copies of Jamie Oliver’s What’s Cooking game for the Nintendo DS. (To be clear, the prize is the What’s Cooking game, and does not include a Nintendo DS game console.)

This game is one part game and one part cookbook. It’s packed with a book’s worth of Oliver’s recipes, and has voice recognition so you can cook along hands-free. It also has a mobile shopping list for his recipes, a handful of cooking games, and allows you to store up to 100 of your own recipes to share with friends over wifi.

A big thank you to Cookstr!

The prizes were donated by the good folks at Cookstr, who are rapidly building one of the best food sites I’ve seen. (All their content comes from chefs and cookbook authors.) If you haven’t already, definitely check them out.

Contest rules

+One entry per person, please.
+This contest is open to residents of the United States and Canada only.
+Winners will be notified by e-mail. (No e-mail, no entry. Sorry!)
+Final deadline for entries is Sunday, February 15, 2009, Midnight, EST.
+I’ll pick three winners with the help of random.org on Monday, February 16 and announce them here.

Good luck!

Please help spread the word! I’m really looking forward to seeing your requests. I’ll work my way through the list as best I can in the coming months.

Cheers!
+Jessie

    Hey, congrats on your 200th post! Err…please don’t consider this comment as an entry to the contest, I don’t have a Nintendo DS or any video game apparatus at home (one less vice for me to indulge in…lol) so no point getting the game.

    I have only popped onto your site a couple times but I like what I see. Congratulations on your 200th post. Since I am not completely familiar with what you have been up to, it is hard to pick something that you haven’t made. So I will choose something that I have never seen anyone in the US make exactly like it is in Paris. The Croque Monsieur! I am just not sure how to make it right and it has been a while since I was there…..

    I would like you to cook a sandwich, but not just any sandwich. More like a sandwiche(S) tasting. Each sandwich will have qualities from different parts of the country. Think mini sandwiches with different personalities.

    BBQ sandwich from Texas
    Pastrami from New York
    Maine lobstor roll from New England
    SPAM sandwich from Hawaii
    Fish sandwich from the Pacific Coast
    Cubano from Florida

    The possibilities are endless, but of course, you have to add your own twist to them. =)

    I am bemused by the fact that Jamie Oliver has Nintendo video games in the first place. Games?

    But love the guy (sadly, no relation) and think he’s doing some great things for the pork farmers in Britain. So maybe you could prepare something “unusual” from some well-raised (outdoor, etc.) pork.

    ps If I win, let’s find a school teacher or mom or dad who’s got a player and wants to help their kids learn to cook.

    oooh! The participation just to list my requests is as much fun as the possibility to win one of these games!! (for which I might just have to get my own DS so I don’t have to steal my daughter’s all the time ;-) )

    Let’s see:
    - anything with avocado, especially dips and sandwiches.
    - a really rich but not too sweet chocolate cake. With a great icing.
    - any dessert that’s lemony or citrusy.
    - easy cocktails for people who don’t drink the hard stuff.
    - your favorite carrot cake.
    - a casserole that’s hearty and healthy.

    But of course I’ll love anything you publish – because you are just so talented! Thank you for sharing your passion and your wonderful recipes with us :-)

    Three out of my four Littles are Nintendo DS junkies. I feel certain they could teach me how to master this game, and perhaps they would learn a thing or two about cooking.

    I would love for you to do a series on North Eastern regional cooking. One of my favorite cookbooks is The Way We Cook by Julian and Riven of Boston Globe fame. And I would enjoy learning about family favorites or regional traditions that would be unique to someone all the way down in Texas!
