Cooking Mama is a 2006 cookery simulation video game developed by Office Create for the Nintendo DS. It was later ported to iOS as Cooking Mama: Let's Cook! in 2009. It was published by Taito, Majesco Entertainment, and 505 Games. It was awarded IGN's "Best Of E3" award for 2006. It is the start of the Cooking Mama series, with 4 more main series titles on DS and Nintendo 3DS, two spin offs on Wii, and a spin off on 3DS. It also spins off into the Gardening Mama series.
