Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey fellow foodies~ I hope everyone is doing well. Now I realise there is already another thread out there concerning Kitchen Princess, a manga with the theme of cooking that shares recipes at the end of its chapters. I just wanted to start this thread to talk about and share other cooking mangas. I've only found two so far, but I'd love to read others so if anyone has stumbled across any mangas centered on cooking (preferably with recipes provided at the end!) please share them! Also I thought perhaps this could provide a medium for light discussion about the stories, if anyones read them. Or even better, if youve tried out any of the recipes from the stories, or thought any of the ideas were interesting you could share that here~

Hatsukoi Lunchbox - A shortish manga I found that actually is centered around making different bento boxes! For me the story was cute but a little cheesy, but that doesnt matter because I love the idea of finding one that step by step tells you how to make the different elements of bentos so exciting. Has recipes for the bentos they make in the story at the end of every chapter~ http://mangafox.me/manga/hatsukoi_lunch_box/

Kitchen Princess - Manga about a girl with a talent for cooking, typical shoujo manga (by that I mean overboard with the feels and in my mind a little unrealistic in several ways but ah well - loved it anyhow) Has recipes for the vast majority of the food made in the chapters~ though the uploaders seem to have been.... lazy? I dunno maybe they thought people wouldnt care, a few of them are missing. http://mangafox.me/manga/kitchen_princess/
