Because I'm in the mood to finally start with volume 3, I'll be re-reading the first 2 volumes again!
Do I need to re-read them? Nope. Actually, I know them by heart already.
Will I do so anyways? Absolutely, 'cause this is pure comfort!!

Also, for the actual review: nothing more to say, my first two reviews describe my thoughts on this perfectly. I still get so many butterflies, just seeing them in a room together... <3
And also didn't make the mistake of not eating sth while reading. XD

I wonder, though, does the author like cooking herself or did she look up a bunch of cooking shows/tutorials online, just for this series? Because the amount of detail, not only in the drawings but also the writing is amazing...!

Cooking is how Nomoto de-stresses and this is how I de-stress. Just what I needed right now.
All the food even got my appetite back.
Love those two ladies, and can't wait for volume 3. <3

This is so wholesome!!! <3

I love that Nomoto cooks because she genuinely loves it, not because she was raised to, so that she'll be a great house-wife or something. This issue also comes up pretty early, when a man at work mentions that. I love Nomoto's reaction. 

It's also awesome to have a character with bigger body size, who is comfortable in their own body and none of the characters ask if she's planning to go on a diet.

It's such a chill read. But I recommend eating something or having food nearby, otherwise you will get hungry. :D
