I am reminded of some of my great-grandmother's old recipes, which tend to have helpful steps like "bake in a fast oven until done."
My granma doesn’t even write her recipes, being such a highly-functional cook…and it’s a bit hard to learn how to cook from her now because she keeps on thinking stuff’s too salty…even if we put no salt on the veggies.

And i genuinely don’t want to learn my mom’s cooking. She’s so health-centered that her taste HAS gone too left field. Who the hell puts edamame and cakalang in fried rice…

Why do I feel like I've already read this chapter?
It's remarkable that: "Ruffians extort the local orphanage, after the local lord cut off their funding, until..." repeated itself enough to become a cliche / copy paste scenario.

Reminded me of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear or whatever that isekai manga is called.

Wouldn't surprise me if it'll follow the same line of story--- the lord is "innocent" and one of his officials or treasurers is corrupt or been bribed. Once informed, he'll vindictively search for the culprit and punish him.

Generally felt like a pretty low-thought out chapter/plot.

Once Io-sensei got some decent ingredients, she would blow every other contestants out of the contest.
Then her cooking become really famous, she started a pseudo-restaurant, and get their money problem solved.

With Mamanda on the side crushing all pesky bugs.

This doesn’t feel like usual LHTranslations quality. There are a load of mistranslation/errors in this chapter.

my g-ma made the most delicious ham and bean soup with nothing but a hambone and a bag of beans. it's all in how its made.
But there was no ham or bones. It was just salt, water and handful of scraps, it was all written there.
No matter how you boil it, there is no way that realistically will get enough flavor for it be called good.

Man, I would totally bring top tier ingredients and offer a nice donation and meal to the orphanage just to have her cook real good food.

My grandma made great food from stuff I often hated the flavour of. I always found it amazing what some people can do. Sure I can follow a recipe and slightly improve on it but I don't think i'd ever get the skill to make something new and amazing.

Full on went the nuclear option brining in Amanda, I'm fully expecting to see her fly in like a missile to hug fran before going on a war path to protect the children.

Do we need to punch some speed holes into the oven to make it go faster?
Nah... A "fast oven" is an oven stoked at high heat, much like a bread oven or grill oven.
Compare to a "slow oven" , which is more like the common use of a dutch oven.

You do open up the "speed hole" in the classic stoked furnaces though... More air = more heat... ;)

Smart play, calling in the nuclear option to blow away those who hurt children.

Cooking Gods blessing probably helps, and veggies can add different flavors to the broth

Carbon date and localize the paper's origin and at least you can figure out where and when in the world they're talking about 30 cents of beef, to figure out how much it'd be... XD
And then it turns out that grandma was buying her beef from a now-dead rancher she was friends with down the road and god alone knows how much she was getting, let alone how lean it was...

Well, I have certainly already read this chapter. Like, twice - the WN translation and the LN translation. And I read it twice more today, in two different manga translations. A good story, is a story that's worth re-reading.
