Tired of eating instant noodles and spending a lot of money buying food, Allegra came over and ate with me. After the meal, she asked, "How much do I owe you for the ingredients?" I replied, "Just 500 yen. It's a little over 1000 yen for all the food.To her surprise, cooking 2 dishes and enough for 3-4 people costs just 1000 yen (about $9 USD). If it were in a restaurant or from the supermarket, the amount of food we ate would have been over 3000 yen!That's when the idea for this book was born!Watch out, the characters in the book speak in the voices of their creators and might contain some adult jokes!
