I received this one from the publisher/Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I still need to read this whole series, I read volume 1 last year and was very much charmed by the manga. However I haven’t had the time to continue on. So imagine my delight when I saw this book pop up on Netgalley! I just love cooking. I love the original series. I needed this one!
In this delightful and yummy manga we have 10 chapters with each of them a recipe! And you will get hungry! Plus, while some basic knowledge of the world/characters is handy, you don’t need to know all of the ins and outs, so even for me a girl who just read one volume, it is fine! And that made me happy! I loved that it wasn’t just Qifrey who was making food, we also see Olruggio making some delicious snacks, and one or two times get to see the girls make something or help along. The cooking was a lot of fun to watch, it definitely was magical next to very yummy. I loved seeing these two guys experiment with foods, make something fab for the girls (or for themselves in the case of when they got drunk on cocktails, haha). The recipes aren’t even that hard for most. OK, some require a bit more technique, but for most it is easy to follow along. I was looking forward to each new recipe + also see them travel at times to get stuff.
Plus, the reactions to the food, mostly the girls who got some yummy breakfast/lunch/dinner was just so adorable and fun. That really makes a cooking manga perfect for me. Seeing the reactions of those for who the food is made.
It was also fun getting to know the characters a bit more, see their relationships, see their likes and dislikes.
And I just love the art! It is such a fun and pretty style~
On that note, I was kinda like, yeah, these recipes are great but we don’t really have honeytree nectar, or blaze beans, or prism lemons (though I would want one). Thankfully, at the end of this volume there are real life substitutes that you can replace the Witch Hat Atelier world foods with. So now you can actually make all these recipes and BOY I am going to be trying some of them out. My stomach is already hungry. Or that may be because it is almost lunch time when I write this, haha.
So all in all, I really enjoyed this one and had oodles of fun with it! I hope that there will be many more volumes of this one with fun stories + recipes. I would recommend it to all!

читати про Кіфрі і Оруґіо (обожнюю його), звичайно, дуже приємно, але загалом мені було нудно, бо більшість сторінок займають рецепти, а мені їх ну взагалі не треба, АЛЕ [2] всі сцени між рецептами дуже милі і дуже комфортні, віє затишком

Overall, a very cozy manga that focuses on the creative cooking recipes, with a touch of Witch Hat Atelier’s worldbuilding. A decent read if you want a comfy read by fantasizing about warm and delicious food (not recommended if you are prone to snacking during midnight - Trust me, I’m a victim.)
My favourite dish is perhaps the first ever dish - Mushroom and Bacon Croquettes. Breading mushroom and meat together with egg and potato paste.... Truly a delicious heaven. Topping it up with marinara sauce and grated cheese is such a satisfying end. Such an elaborate dish made with a creative spin - And to make them into bite-sized that's perfect for a midnight snack? Truly marvelous.
Also, I swear to god, Qifrey and Olly are definitely gay - Qifrey went to pick up fresh ginger and immediately cook up a ginger porridge until late at night the moment he realized Olly caught a cold, even he told Qifrey to not bother? Domestic husband behavior. I don’t care what you say, Qifrey, you don’t go to such dramatic measures for JUST a friend. I rest my case.

Very cute supplement to the main Witch Hat Atelier series. Olruggio and Qifrey are two of my favorite characters, so it's nice to get more of them. Also I'm in love with the fact that the recipes made are included at the end of chapters. And that they can be followed so that this series can be a cookbook as well.

I think everything should have a wholesome cooking spinoff actually. Anyway Witch Hat Atelier brainrot is real and I came here after catching up with the manga and it was so adorable. Qifrey and Olruggio are so sweet cooking for each other and the girls I love them.

First, I want to say thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for providing me with a digital ARC of this book.
This book is entertaining! Short stories about cooking with various magical ingredients make me curious and want to try a bite, beautiful illustrations, and heartwarming stories too. I will surely read the next book!

Part slice-of-life, part cookbook, this series of vignettes gives a peek at some of the calmer moments in between the big story beats of the main series and do some further fleshing out of the world it's set in.
