It does not feel out of place in the story, but the protagonist being skilled at making food (compared to the native people of the world) is an overused trope to such a degree in isekai that even though this manga is doing it well, it still feels bad.

If this manga was not an isekai, it would not have bothered me as much. But for reasons I am still unsure of, the author decided to make their otherwise excellent manga into an isekai.

I might be wrong but I don't think the protagonist is particularly skilled compared to the native people (at least from what we can tell, besides the banana leaf thing) - even the guy's comrades think his cooking is weird, so it's mostly just him being bad at it lol

That I kinda agree, the isekai part feels a little forced. Instead of "past me feels like they knew about this", it could've just been "fortune teller taught me how to do it" and it'd work a lot better. I suppose it's to add the "isekai" tag to increase sales

This was an isekai? Here I was thinking that it was the fortune teller told her how to do everything...

For a moment there I thought Ratlua was actually a tomboy wearing armor... but those broad shoulders and decently-sized hands don't lie. That's a man.

Ratlua can go learn how to cook from her, not because she's a girl but simply because he's terrible at it and she happens to know how to cook better than him.
