Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Episode 1 Recap: Spoilers
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill takes place in a fantasy world full of mysterious creatures. Mukouda Tsuyoshi, the story’s main character, is a 27-year-old man who was mistakenly summoned to the kingdom of Reijseger to fight a demon king alongside three other actual heroes. He was quickly withdrawn from the title of “hero” because he was utterly unsuited to combat any demon.
Additionally, his skills were “Appraise Item Box” and “Online Grocery,” which allowed him to buy any food item from his previous world and have it delivered to the new world for a certain amount, and he soon realized that if he wanted to survive here, he would have to implement these skills to make a living.
From there, his journey began, and he came up with a plan to travel to the neighboring country called the Kingdom of Veenan to make good money through cooking. During the journey, he hired some escorts to assist him in getting there safely without any catastrophes.
Mukouda offered to cook meals for everyone on his journey. With his item box skill, which functions as a portal for his personal storage, he can pull out his stuff, like a burner or other kitchen appliances that help him prepare meals.
The escorts were blown away by his natural cooking abilities and the fact that he prepared food for everyone. And in this manner, over his few days’ journeys, he would cook various dishes, such as when they encountered a boar and carried the meat for later preparation, from which he cooked a dish called pot-au-feu, by which everyone was greatly astonished by the taste.
Everyone was delighted and rejuvenated as a result of the excellent delicacies, but they also lured a giant Fenrir, whom everyone feared, and he then ordered Mukouda to prepare the same dish for him as well. The Fenrir, who was completely blown away by his exquisite cooking, wants to sign a contract with him to serve three meals a day. And without any escape, he accepted his contract.

This is going to be a non-stop cooking class for us, as Fenrir, who demands three meals a day, seems intimidating. The escorts are going to leave them soon on their own journey, and from there, how they are going to get along with each other on a daily basis is what we are looking forward to.
Moreover, he needed to have more ingredients from the new world rather than depending on his online grocery, as there was a shortage of coins in his pocket right now. Serving Fenrir is also going to be a big deal with such a low amount.
So therefore, how he will be making money, possibly by selling food and cooking somewhere with the skills he was given, is what we can anticipate from the next episode. Also, other additional supporting characters, particularly the cute little slime creature, have yet to be unveiled.
