Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends (released as Cooking Mama 2 in PAL regions and クッキング ママ2 in Japan) is the sequel to the 2006 Nintendo DS video game Cooking Mama and its Wii successor, Cooking Mama: Cook Off. The game has twice as many minigames as the original, all new recipes, and a new multiplayer "Cook Off" mode.
The game also includes voice clips similar to the ones used in Cooking Mama: Cook Off, although not as commonly used. Dinner with Friends is the second Cooking Mama game to include desserts, the first being Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Wii.
Modes[]
- Cook with Mama: The basic, main mode where the player can practice and dishes with Mama's guidance.
- Let's Cook!: A challenge mode where the player cooks for a friend that will judge how well the player did at the end. No instructions are given between steps, and if a step is failed, the run immediately ends, and the player is given a score of 0 points regardless of how far they were into the recipe.
- Cooking Contest: Complete challenges either on your own or with up to 4 people on wireless!
- Change Design: Customize various parts of the game including Mama's outfit/accessories, utensils, kitchenware, and the top screen look.
- Write in Diary: Review entries of photos taken across the game and customize with stamps and decals!

to other DS consoles.

Pickles were intended to be in this game but was cut for unknown reasons. It was later put in Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop.
There is also a dummy/placeholder recipe known as NONE, but it is likely intended for testing/filler data purposes.

Trophies[]
In this game, three pure gold trophies will be awarded to the player for completing certain tasks:
- Unlocking all dishes in Cook with Mama mode
- Unlocking all friends in Let's Cook! mode
- Collecting every item from the Bonus screens and completing recipes in the Let's Cook mode.
Trivia[]
- This game introduces the feature of choosing which utensil to use during a specific step. For example, when mixing ingredients the player could use chopsticks or a whisk. One utensil would finish the job quicker and net the player a bonus with the risk of failing the entire step. The other would require more physical handwork at the benefit of a risk-free result.
- There is a recipe called NONE that can be accessed via glitches, however, it only contains 20 "Chop It!" steps and 1 "Boil It!" step. Selecting any step will softlock the game.
Demo[]
A demo of Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends can be sent to other Nintendo DS family systems from the Options menu using wireless communication. Additionally, the demo could also be downloaded from a DS Download Station as part of the Series 7 demos in the United States. The only recipe available is the apple pie. When the player presses Start on the demo title screen, Mama will ask who they want to cook for with options for four friends: David, Mama, Chika, and Papa. However, only David is selectable, and the other three friends remain unavailable regardless of the player's performance on the apple pie recipe. The demo plays out like the Cook with Mama mode albeit with David on the top screen instead of Mama. David also evaluates the player's performance once the apple pie is finished like in the Let's Cook mode. Mama's voice clips are absent in the demo, and the title screen theme plays in between steps and in the evaluation screens after each step as opposed to each having unique themes. There are also some small gameplay differences, namely the player only needs to peel one apple in the first step in the demo as opposed to three in the final release, and neither the "Wow!" nor "Bonus!" messages appear when a step is completed with more than half the allotted time remaining.
