Expedition Cooking with the Enoch Royal Knights
Mell Risurisu is a fore elf, which means she’s one of the beautiful creatures that inhabit the forest.
Her beauty, however, will not help feed her beloved little sisters, so she decided to join the royal order of knights called Enoch to make a living.
Following her enlistment, Mell quickly realizes that the Second Expeditionary Squadron is used to eating bread as hard as a rock and rubbery jerky!
It is up to Mell to use her cooking knowledge to help her squad. She will surely remind you of Senshi, who wants his friends to eat nutritious food!
The Kajiki Chef: Divine Cuisine
A young chef named Toya Yasoya aims to hunt down creatures known as kajiki after one of them bites off his childhood friend’s arm.
These kajiki are also known as the Divine Food, for they resemble ordinary animals and vegetables except they are humongous and have supernatural abilities.
Interestingly, these kajiki also taste incredible and provide some kind of miraculous healing ability.
Thus, Toya wants to hunt every kajiki there is in the hopes of restoring his childhood friend’s arm!
Meiten Restaurant
In addition to cooking, Delicious in Dungeon also puts a lot of emphasis on life, death, and immortality, which makes it similar to Meiten Restaurant, a comedy drama and fantasy manga series by Suzuno Suke.
Meiten Restaurant centers around Gatarou Barazono, the distinguished son of a family that runs a successful financial conglomerate.
One day, Gatarou dies in a truck accident, sending him to the afterlife, where he discovers the Underworld Restaurant.
As it turns out, the Underworld Restaurant is a famous place that serves the deceased with their final meal before leaving the world for good.
Sachi’s Temple Food
Are you tired of eating instant food? Well, Sachi Usui has been eating instant noodles for the longest time because she’s extremely busy with work.
One day, Sachi encounters Gendou, the head priest of Ensenji Temple, at the convenience store and her life changes forever.
Gendou not only enlightened Sachi about the taste of Buddhist cuisine, but he also inspired her to cook with the freshest ingredients available.
As the plot unfolds, Gendou is determined to make Sachi understand that she will not get any energy from eating instant food!
Welcome to the Wizard’s Bistro
Just because Onjima has a thuggish look on his face doesn’t mean he’s a bad cook!
He may be an amateur but his desire to learn how to cook is stronger than anybody else, so even a tragic accident will not stop him from becoming a full-time chef.
After being isekai’d to another world, Onjima ends up working in a restaurant run by the strongest wizard. There, he encounters a merry band of demi-humans who also have the same passion for food in general.
Who Is the Strongest Appraiser?
Don’t be fooled by the title of this cooking manga since it’s not an isekai story where the main character uses his appraisal skill to look for elite allies and the like.
In Who Is the Strongest Appraiser?, Yuri Kugimiya wants to use his newfound power called the Eye of God to become a kitchen ace rather than fight monsters and other people.
As soon as he arrived in the isekai world, Yuri got lost in a dungeon but was rescued by a group of adventurers.
Thus, Yuri’s journey to become a kitchen ace in the isekai world begins!
Kumika no Mikaku
Delicious in Dungeon’s Marcille is having a hard time eating monster cuisine, but whenever she tastes Senshi’s food, her expression changes.
This is similar to Kumika no Mikaku’s Kumika, an alien who changed her perception about human food and Earth’s cuisine.
Kumika can get nutrition just by breathing, but after eating one of the Earthlings’ foods, she can’t stop craving more!
