The series goes for a mixture of "warm/cosy" feeling stuff (I can't think of a better way of putting it) and drama, which is generally interesting and well balanced. At times (minor spoiler) there are problems solved with a good meal, but for a cooking manga with a cosy atmosphere this works quite well in my opinion.
Art - 8/10
The art is really nice and at times (particularly for the landscape shots) beautiful.
Character- 7/10
The series focuses on the theme of "family" a lot. I'm not sure how much more I can put here without spoilers.
Enjoyment - 10/10
Okay, I'm going to be honest here and say this is my favourite thing in the world right now, and the first manga I've though "I'll reread this is I'm feeling sad and need cheering up".
I'll admit I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but with the art and descriptions really make me want to try them, even when many of them were things I would never normally consider.
My only complaints: I wish they'd maybe expanded on the world a bit more?
But with my foolish optimism I'm hoping for a sequel.
