This delightful anime series follows single father, teacher Kohei Inuzuka, and his young daughter Tsumugi. His late wife used to do all of the cooking so after she died they have mainly been eating ready-meals but he decides to start cooking homemade food. To this end he enlists the help of Kotori Iida; she is a student at his school although he doesn't realise it at the time. She is also the daughter of a restaurant owner. Kotori doesn't know too much about cooking, and has a fear of knives, but together they learn to make a variety of meals; including some that include ingredients that Tsumugi isn't so keen on.
This series was an utter delight; the relationship between the three main characters is charming to watch at no point is there even the slightest suggestion that Kohei or Kotori have inappropriate feeling for the other. Young Tsumugi is adorable and believable. Each episode features a fair amount of food preparation and cooking but this is not boring; in fact watching the characters interact during these tasks is rather fun don't be surprised if it leaves you feeling hungry! The character designs are distinctive and the animation looks good. Overall this is a delightful slice of life series; nothing much happens but that is part of the charm. I'd definitely recommend this to anybody looking for a gentle feel good series.
