Past few years have brought cooking shows into spotlight. As a hedonist myself I find these entertaining enough even though story is often lacking in depth or anything useful really. I hoped this show was one of those except for cakes. Let me tell you straight away I was wrong as main character does everything other than make cakes. It's basically a painfully generic issekai but instead of filling episodes with pointless romance or flashbacks they talk about food. There's no food making anywhere, at least not in first three episodes I've watched. Instead there are bandits, magic, him gaining power, etc.

That said, I am not dropping this because there are no cakes. Am dropping this because it's one of those shows in which authors introduce some game-breaking mechanic and then fail to realize it applies to other things than what they planned with story. Whole thing ends up being illogical and stinks of plot convenience left and right. You know, like in other shows where main character gets power of seeing the future and then gets surprised by something or falls into a trap.

It's not offensively bad, but it's bad enough and authors absolutely hope and require you to lose all critical thinking and logic to make this any form of enjoyable.
