Line 16:
Contrast [[Lethal Chef]].
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 39:
*** She made it into "Canton-style Pork with Hibiscus", and given the predominance of [[Slapstick]] and the fact that Ryoga is [[Nigh Invulnerable]], is it really impossible that Ryoga was actually roasted alive, but survived? See the "[[You Fail Biology Forever]]" entry on the [[Ranma One Half]] page for lists of other, even more bizarre biological feats.
* Sasami of ''[[Tenchi Muyo]]'' is an excellent chef. In the manga, she was so good that she even baked her sister a carrot cake that she loves despite the fact that Ayeka hates carrots. Sasami even competes in an ''[[Iron Chef]]''-style [[Cooking Duel]] with several other child chefs.
** Don't forget [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|Airi]], who in her spare time between running Galaxy Police Academy, politicking, spying and berserking when someone would [[Berserk Button|call her "granma"]], runs a very successful little restaurant. Note that they ''both'' learned to cook from [[Magnificent Bastard|Seto]]. [[Red Baron|Demon Princess of Jurai]] has many talents indeed.
** But note that this paragon of culinary genius (she also taught Noike and Rhea, apparently) utterly failed with her own daughter -- Misaki is a borderline [[Lethal Chef]], probably because she was always much more interested in [[Action Girl|kicking asses]] than in kitchen tinkering.
* Unexpectedly enough, [[Badass Longcoat]] [[Anti
* In ''[[Love Hina]]'', Keitaro,Mutsumi and Shinobu are this, and are the [[Team Chef|Team Chefs]] of the band.
** In his case, it's mostly a matter of his desserts being absurdly delicious, in part due to making his own Valentine's chocolate (to seem like less of a loser in public) and in part due to the Urashima family being [[Lamarck Was Right|a line of confectioners]].
Line 53:
* France from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', befitting both [[National Stereotypes]] and his rivalry with [[Lethal Chef]] England.
** According to [[Word of God]], ''several'' of the Asians are like this. We already know that China is one of these since we've seen him cook in canon, but profiles also add info about others:
{{quote| About Thailand: "If he cooks it's always something [[Sweet Tooth|really sweet]] or [[Fire
About Taiwan: "The good thing about her cooking is that you can thank her for treating you to delicious yet inexpensive cuisine!" }}
** Belgium's hinted to be one as well, specially in her ''Hattafutte Parade'' where she mentions [[Sweet Tooth|that she likes to make sweets for her brother and Romano.]]
Line 79:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Grandma Duck in the [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe]] is one of these; her famous cooking skills are central to many of the plots of the stories starring (or just featuring) her.
** Though it [[Depending On the Writer|varies heavily from story to story]], her grandson [[Donald Duck]] is often depicted as having inherited at least some of her skill around the kitchen. While some writers love to portray him as a [[Lethal Chef]] (and he probably shouldn't be allowed to experiment too much), the most common interpretation is that he's a very good cook and could probably have made a decent living as a professional chef if it hadn't been for his [[Hair
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* Mikuru in ''[[Kyon Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', after several [[Year Inside, Hour Outside|training sessions]].
* In [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]] [[Fanon]], Shinji was made a [[Supreme Chef]]... and then [[Ascended Meme|it became canon]] in ''Rebuild''.
** Hikari Horaki was also given this role; makes sense, considering she's the closest to a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] in the cast (At least until Rei 2 appears in ''Rebuild'')
Line 124:
* Vincent in ''[[Eureka]]'', to the point that the diner has no menu, and some residents consider it a challenge to order something he can't do.
* ''[[Iron Chef]]'' revolves around the premise of having these kinds of chefs go against each other.
* ''[[Kamen Rider Agito]]'''s titular character, who is a great cook even with [[Laser
* LeBeau, the French member of the ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'' team, is of course a good cook. The greatness comes in the fact that he can concoct excellent dinners and desserts with the materials available inside a POW camp, making him have almost [[MacGyver]]-esque cooking skills.
* ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto]]'': [[The Ace]] Tendou is most well known for being an excellent cook. He managed to get his cooking skills from working at his grandmother's oden shop revealed in [[Kamen Rider Decade]].
* ''[[MASH|M* A* S* H]]'' episode "Too Many Cooks". A soldier who was a gourmet chef in civilian life is wounded and ends up at the 4077th. He's such a superb cook that he can make Army food delicious.
* Umemori Genta / Shinken Gold from ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]''. Subverted in that only [[Blood Knight|Juzo]] and Kotoha says it's good. Everyone else thinks it's [[So Okay
* ''[[Tomica Hero Rescue Fire]]'' once featured a Cook-off between [[Team Chef|Tama-chan]] and Chukaen. Tama won by making a delicious soup out of a fish-head and the remains of a leek.
* Sookie from ''[[Gilmore Girls]]''. She's so obsessed with cooking that she catered her own wedding parties and was still putting icing on the cake on her wedding day.
Line 153:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Pictured above: [[Cooking Mama]] from the titular game, she knows exactly how to make each dish and (usually) walks you through the process. If your dish is really good, people will stuff themselves.
* Elzam from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' fit this trope as well, an excellent commander as well as an excellent chef. The first thing he does when transferred to a new post is cook up a gourmet meal for all the soldiers stationed there. He's also able to survive Kusuha's [[Gargle Blaster|"energy drinks"]] without fainting and identify all the ingredients used based on the taste. His [[Paper
* Chef Shmi of ''[[Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (Video Game)|Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door]]'' says this of himself. Not that anybody disagrees.
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'', Genis has a reputation as a [[Supreme Chef]] in Iselia and has several scenes in the beginning of the game with characters praising his cooking... Though considering [[Lethal Chef|his older sister Raine]], it's almost a ''necessity'' for him. Genis is not the altogether best chef in the game, however: That would be Regal, who earns the special title "God of the Kitchen" in a late-game sidequest.
Line 177:
* in ''[[Fallout New Vegas]]'', you character can become one if he or she has high enough survival skills. Being able to turn a rotten piece of meat from an mutated animal into a first-class gourmet dish. Strangely enough, [[Complete Monster|Cook-Cook]] of the [[Always Chaotic Evil|Fiends]] is noted as a highly skilled cook despite being a drug-addled pyromaniacal rapist.
* The 'main' Ann in most ''[[Harvest Moon (Video Game)|Harvest Moon]]'' games shows signs of this. Ironically, in her [[Harvest Moon 64 (Video Game)|first game]] she was a [[Lethal Chef]].
* One of the targets in the [[Murder, Inc.|Dark Brotherhood]] questline in ''[[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim]]'' is a legendary chef known only as "The Gourmet". Certain members state that his recipes indeed live up to their reputation and are actually somewhat disappointed that he's to be assassinated. He keeps his identity a secret with only the chef of Markarth knowing who he is: {{spoiler|Turns out he's an Orc.}}
== [[Visual Novels]] ==
* Unlike her [[Lethal Chef]] sister Hisui, Kohaku from ''[[Tsukihime]]'' is a spectacular cook. {{spoiler|When she isn't purposely drugging the food to make you go insane.}} Well, even ''then'' it tastes fantastic.
* Shirou Emiya of ''[[Fate Stay Night]]'' cooks to the degree that the [[Let's Play]] commentators are more turned on by [[Food Porn]] than the sex scenes. Much of which ties into his tutoring [[Sempai
* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni]]'' has [[Fan Nickname|Magical Gohda Chef]]. [[Battle Butler|Ronove]] as well. In [[Omake|The Stakes' Valentine's Day]], Gohda is so impressed when [[Crack Pairing|Beelzebub]] gives him some of Ronove's chocolate that he immediately leaves for Belgium to train to be a better cook.
** Gohda shouldn't be left out either. There's a reason Beelzebub gave him the chocolate and it wasn't out of love; she wanted something good in return on White Day.
Line 206:
* Remy, from ''[[Ratatouille]]''.
* Canonically, Ron Stoppable from ''[[Kim Possible]]'' is a pretty good chef, especially compared to borderline [[Lethal Chef]] Kim. Fanon of course exaggerates both.
* Even though she's not stated outright to be this, Pinkie Pie from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] works as a baker/candy maker, and is pretty great at it.
** Only so long as she doesn't have a sleep-deprived or immature helper. Also from the series in question: Cup and Carrot Cake, Gustave le Grand, Mulia Mild, and Doughnut Joe.
*** Applejack herself can cook, but only when she isn't tired. And so far, it is an [[Informed Ability]].
