Bitterness is health, stench is nourishment. Your cooking will change their world.
About
Guest, a chef who was transported to another world and nearly died of exhaustion, is rescued by a local diner owner.
Out of kindness, he is served black bubbling herb porridge and a top-grade eyeball fruit. In this world, medicinal food made from magic beasts and eldritch plants is the norm. Blue-mold beast meat, foam-blowing fish, numbing insects, mud root vegetables, bitter juice grass, eyeball fruit, fermented swamp clams, and foul-smelling herbs are preferred; the more bitter, stinking, and numbing, the better.
Conversely, delicious ingredients like wheat, eggs, white fish, tender poultry, forest pork, river shrimp, milk, mushrooms, vegetables, and fruit are considered weak with low medicinal value, sold at throwaway prices in the market for livestock and pets.
Guest screams internally at the bitterness, the stench, and the pale juice that pops out of the fruit. By re-preparing the local ingredients in Guest's own style, their culinary skills are recognized, and they are entrusted with a vacant shop.
In this world where bitterness is health and stench is nourishment, how will Guest's cooking change the people?

Intro
Guest, a chef who nearly died of exhaustion in another world, is rescued by a local diner owner.
Out of kindness, he is served black bubbling herb porridge and a top-grade eyeball fruit.
"Don't be shy. This is a top-quality dish full of nourishment."
Guest screams internally at the bitterness, the stench, and the pale juice that pops out.
But unable to let the owner's goodwill go to waste, Guest borrows the kitchen and re-prepares the local ingredients—using the sweet fruits, fragrant wheat, and fresh eggs from the poultry kept in the yard, all treated as pet food—into Guest's own style.
