I enjoyed this! I find the main characters endearing and I really like how the cooking aspects of the manga reinforce the world-building. As the characters learn how to hunt creatures and how to cook them, they also learn about the biology and the behaviors of said creatures. I also really liked how the manga touches upon how different cooking techniques and methods of food cultivation affect the taste of certain food ingredients. As a foodie, these details please me immensely.
While the manga is lighthearted and cozy, I like the fact that the characters end up butting heads over minor disagreements. While the conflicts are never heavy or prolonged, they actually make sense for the characters and are not silly arguments with obvious solutions. I appreciate this a lot because I feel that some writers of cozy stories avoid conflict between the characters out of fear that conflict will ruin the cozy vibes.
Definitely planning on continuing this series!

Moderate: Violence, Death, and Animal death
Animal death: this content warning refers to the deaths of the fantastical creatures the party members kill and cook in the story. Some of them have physical characteristics that are similar to real-life animals (ex: the basilisk looking like a combo of chicken and snake). Other than that, there is mention of dogs dying as part of apaintpaw's review against another edition

Un bon début pour entamer une série ! Comme dans La cuisine des sorciers, essayer de deviner à quels ingrédients du monde réel les monstres correspondent est un exercice bien fun.
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Death
Dans une perspective assez vidéoludique, la mort est traitée avec légèreté : certains personnages "meurent", mais personne ne s'en inquiète car il existe un véritable business des "ramasseurs de cadavres" qui réssuscitent les gens morts dans le donjon en échange de 10% de leur butin. Un peu déroutant au début si l'on est sensible à ce genre de choses !indeedithappens's review against another edition
