Qifrey and Olruggio are dating or married and if they aren’t then they are SERIOUSLY pining after each other. They just care about each other so much!! And they’re so thoughtful towards each other!! And they are so! Freaking! Cute! I mean, Qifrey made a freaking tart bouquet for Olruggio. Tell me that isn’t romantic as heck! And there were so many other little moments. I just want them to kiss already, please and thank you. Shirahama, I am BEGGING.

Moving on from my shipping antics and towards the actual point of the manga, the food looks so good! Somehow they even made me think the seafood sounded appealing and I hate seafood. And there are actual recipes in the book?! Which I’m obviously going to be trying out someday. (Minus the seafood ones)

I just can’t get enough of the world of Witch Hat Atelier. I want to live there so bad it hurts.

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.
