All you have to do is spend a little time on ingredients, tools, and seasonings. A comic essay by a gourmet manga artist whose everyday life is so delicious!!

The first comic essay written by the author of the popular gourmet comic series "Osen", which has sold over 1 million copies. Shota Kikuchi has been pursuing the essence of cooking for over 15 years through his gourmet manga featuring a restaurant proprietress as the main character. Naturally, he has a great passion for cooking, as well as a wealth of skill and knowledge. On a daily basis, he loves alcohol and enjoys talking with his guests while cooking the food he puts a lot of effort into... There's no way his private life isn't delicious!!

The characters in this story are Shota Kikuchi himself, also known as "Shota Maeschoro." He is the father who supports the family. And her mother, whose cooking skills are as good as her father's, is a super housewife who can make a meal in an instant using whatever is in the refrigerator at any time. The editor in charge is a greedy person who is fully immersed in the "Kikuchi family".

The editor in charge is a bit of a nuisance, always bothering Maeschoro in the name of looking for ideas for his works. He sometimes annoys her, sometimes makes her angry, and is selfish. However, the Kikuchi family's variety of food and drinks will silence such people in an instant. Although they are not expensive by any means, the exquisite dishes are made with a lot of love and care, and are made with a focus on seasonality and production areas. Everyone always ends up in a good mood at the end!!

There are also meals for just the two of you, ``mom and dad,'' that you can't miss. It warms your heart.

Exquisite curry soba'' made with homemade mentsuyu and frozen soba, open horse mackerel'' prepared one after another with a freshly sharpened knife, Imonoko soup'' made with melt-in-the-mouth taro that he dug himself in his parents' field, and seasonal daikon radish. Full Course'' that uses up all the ingredients, Charcoal Barbecue'' that grills chunks of pork on a charcoal grill, and Super Delicious Breakfast'' that doesn't require any expensive ingredients. Alcohol is also plentiful. Heartland offers Yebisu beer, hot sake, cold sake, and white wine. Kikuchiya's original gin cocktail made with freshly squeezed fruit juice is also a must.

A mouth-watering comic essay containing many of the menu items we had at Kikuchi-ya. This book is sure to make you think, ``I think I'll try cooking some food tonight.''
