Good afternoon,

I hope I'm not bothering anyone but is there anyone who can help me cook? I know I would need to learn how to do it on my own eventually, but I don't know how.


[NEvermind that Shinjiro can cook but he sure knows that he isn't going to be bothering him 24/7 over this!]

Here is a great tip, try to cook very simple recipes first. Something like fried eggs or porridge could be easy to do. That is how I started to cook when I first arrived here. As you progress, you can expand with more advance recipes later on.

Yeah, porridge can be tricky to cook properly with the amount of time it takes to cook. But as long as you have the patience for it and keep an eye on the pot, it should be okay and it won’t taste like burnt oats.

Where I’m from, we don’t have a lot of access to rice so we have to make use of oats since it is usually cold in Russia.

And yes we didn’t have these microwaves in many Russian households. Um, what are microwaves by the way?

Is there anything at all you've cooked before? Just to kind of get an idea of where you are.

Oh that would be marvelous. It would make things a little easier for me to get food ready or reheat food whenever I like to.

Do you really need to learn? There are places where you can buy food already prepared for you.

( Sincerely, an angel who would probably accidentally slice his entire hand off trying to cut an avocado. Cooking seems hard. )

I’m currently at my house at the moment. The good news is I have a kitchen in my treehouse which is a great thing. The bad news is my current ‘stove’ is the kind you need to use a lot of firewood and lit fire with. And I can’t leave it unattended while I do other tasks in the house either.

I haven’t found any luck in finding a proper stove in months since we got electricity running in the town.

What's wrong with take out? Besides, convenience stores and grocery stores have premade food, too. That's healthier, or whatever, for humans. There's no reason you'd be required to learn. And you don't have to listen to anyone if you don't want to.

( What sort of advice is he giving to children?? )

I mean, sure, but would you rather have food get kinda boring, or accidentally chop off your finger in a meat cutting accident?

Who is he, anyway? I'm not saying anything wrong. I'm definitely not scared of some nobody, either.

I guess humans are more fragile than I thought. Well, good luck? If you're learning to cook. I hope you don't chop a finger off.

( That is meant to be genuinely supportive, but he's terrible at it so it comes off kind of threatening, doesn't it. )

That's fine, too, though. Are you doing this behind his back or something?

Isn't there a place where humans upload videos of themselves with instructions for activities of all levels of difficulty? I think it's called something like... youchew.

Actually, though, I don't know if that exists in this place.

Yeah, that totally counts! Since you already know how to do some basic things, I think you'll be able to pick up some stuff without too much trouble.

Is there anything specific you want to learn to cook or are you just looking for some easy stuff for now?

[It's the small human boy again! Zhongli remembers him. Which is why, in elegant script, he replies.]

Are there any particular dishes you enjoy? I happen to know a fair amount about the cuisine of my own world, and perhaps I could assist in finding a recipe similar to one you are familiar with.
