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.
