I part happy with this series. for any new readers, it does well to balance the slice of life elements and the cooking. the prep work isn't long and still retains the charm of comical reactions but also retains the dignity of cooking without undermining the story quality eg. when the artist takes many panels or lots of dialogue bubbles to explain the prep work, but still has enough cooking elements that it does the tag justice! the slice of life episodic elements are well executed and I adore the recurring characters because they're growing along with the characters focused
