If I were a betting man, I'd be willing to put money down on the duke trying to take the FL with him and is willing to use underhanded means if necessary. I don't trust him.
i also think he's annoying af. despite his all of his unreasonable demand he have the audacity to compare himself to the prince while as far as the story goes never really forced unreasonable demand. and always felt really sorry if he want to ask something and reassure her it's ok to refuse if she feel burdened about it (if i'm not wrong since it's been a long time since this manga got an update. so my memory is a bit blurry). correct me on this one if i'm wrong

Truly, if it's me I'm gonna refuse that dude request.
None shall barge into my shop and kitchen then asking me to help them, whats more its just the 3rd time we meet.

And the audacity of him to compare himself with MC benefactor is like asking Zeke to slap him on the spot 3 times over

Isn't it the most basic of basic steps to add eggs to get any kind of flour to stick together?

Variety of food other than Japan ✅
Not everyone like the MC's food ✅
The MC not able to cook everything and need to do trial and error ✅
The first is because it means we get to see other types of food we don't usually see in manga. Other types of Asian food is surprisingly rare.

The second because chilling the MC all the time gets stale and gratuitous, as if we can't like an MC not all characters like. Using other characters to hold up MC doesn't make me like the MC. It's like saying you should like something because it's popular, not because it's good.

The third because struggles are far more interesting than just knowing everything. Cheat skills and knowledge suck out plot opportunities and turn them into situations the MC can just magically solve.

Egg is the glue of cooking. But slightly tastier.

This chapter got me curious, so i went and ground some plain dried rice in a spice grinder.
It ground up into a nice fine flour, and came together quite well.

I ended up making mochi out of it.
Doing that works for almost any kind of grain; stick it in a blender, food processor, or other fine grinder and you can use the resulting flour almost identically to how you can use wheat flour. It even works with things like potatoes.

Her troubles with kogel, that corn-like grain, are actually puzzling to me since we have a generations-old family recipe for actual bread that uses corn flour and comes out just as light and fluffy as white bread. About the only "secret" to the recipe is to finely grind the flour, which was originally done by running the corn flour through the grinder a few times but works just as well using a blender.

last chapter i was hoping we would see corn-based culinary stuff. slightly disappointed when they went back to rice-based stuff. like "dammit another japanese food" kinda thing. but then she said PHO and that got me hyped up again. nice chapter

i also dislike that prince from other country

Thank you for the explanations, but for the second one I meant for the cake case, when the guy doesn't like it because it's too sweet. I always find it weird how in Isekai cooking everyone always likes the food, regardless of their taste.

It's the same thing. The characters don't get to have their own tastes because they're too busy chilling the MC.

Yes, but no. If you're making wheat noodles, absolutely, but rice noodles like those in pho wouldn't use eggs as a binder. In the case of rice noodles, tapioca (as said by hng in this thread) or corn starch can be used.

Given that kogel = corn, they're going to probably produce cornstarch and use that.

Girl forgot about Polenta? Grits? Cornbread? Spoon Bread? Hush puppies? Cornmeal dumplings?

They're not hoity-toity but they're staple food nonetheless.
