History LethalChef / VisualNovels

* Uruka and Aselia in ''VisualNovel/AseliaTheEternalTheSpiritOfEternitySword'' have a little too much confidence for people who have never cooked before. Aselia at least makes an effort to start learning to cook properly after this.
* While she can make [[TrademarkFavoriteFood rice]] just fine, ''anything'' else Minori from ''VisualNovel/BrassRestoration'' tries to cook falls squarely in the lethal category.
* Elis in ''VisualNovel/Canvas2'' is apparently completely unaware that she's a horrible cook.
* Some examples from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'':

* In ''VisualNovel/CodeRealize'', the products of [[Literature/{{Dracula}} Van Helsing]]'s cooking are never shown on-screen, but when he offers to make breakfast in his extra scenario, all of the other guys go into full ColorFailure from sheer horror and leap to prevent Cardia from accepting. Even [[SeenItAll Saint-Germain]] seems slightly shaken.
* Judge Grams of ''VisualNovel/FleuretBlanc'' revels in this. It's entirely possible that she knows how bizarre and disgusting her recipes are, and [[{{Jerkass}} serves them anyway just for kicks]]. Fortunately, her cooking is never actually ''dangerous'', just very off-putting. Le Neuvieme is particularly bothered by her cooking, [[spoiler:and poisons the judges' food in an attempt to make them revoke her privileges]]. Interestingly, Judge Nickels doesn't seem to mind her cuisine.
* With Muramasa from ''VisualNovel/FullMetalDaemonMuramasa'', her cooking is less a question of whether the end result will be edible or not and more one of whether you will be able to use the kitchen ever again afterwards. And that if there's even a kitchen left at all after she is done.
* Ayu in ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'' was a terrible baker early on. She's quickly instructed in decent baking by Akiko in the absence of any real SupremeChef, YamatoNadeshiko etc character. That being said, before she improved, Ayu managed to burn rice and turn eggs into what seem to be solid lumps of charcoal. The cookies were so inedible that he couldn't even eat them to be polite as his teeth couldn't break them! Her special jam, however, is never edible.

* Yukino from ''VisualNovel/MyGirlfriendIsThePresident'', to the point where when she tries to make a bento for the player character, it's covered in censor mosaics.

* Yuuka in ''VisualNovel/Never7''. Her attempt to make ''toast'' ends up producing a horribly burnt mess with an even more horrible spread.
* In ''VisualNovel/{{Nightshade}}'', almost none of the shinobi can cook very well, but Kyara stands out; she attempts to cook dinner for the group on the first night of their mission and somehow manages to literally destroy the kitchen.
* Corti in ''VisualNovel/{{Polyphonica}}'' only once tried to make her [[TrademarkFavoriteFood favorite dish - fried eggs sandwich]]. It was once more than wanted.
* Presumably out of amusement, Riko in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'' occasionally makes completely inedible lunches for Masayuki. She's a perfectly competent cook, she just does it for fun.
* In ''VisualNovel/ReflectionsOnTheRiver'', Prince Shun, despite being Zheng's captive, is keen to cook a meal for both of them, having not had much opportunity to try it before. However, he isn't very good at it, resulting in an opportunity to make friends depending on what Zheng says.

* In ''VisualNovel/{{Rewrite}}'', although Chihaya's sandwich tastes good, her Miso Soup From Hell has a weird taste that manages to knock out even Sakuya, who mentally forces himself to eat it.
* ''VideoGame/SengokuRance'' gives you Kouhime, whose dango is actually praised by a ninja... as a ''great assassination tool''. And she made said dango ''under the guidance'' of the ninja, who is a SupremeChef.
* Both Jason and Melissa in the beginning of the visual novel ''VisualNovel/SongsOfAraiah''. In Melissa's case, she's been eating her own horrible cooking for so long that she enjoys Jason's cooking, which would be lethal cooking by anybody else's standards. Both improve their skills to a degree by the end of the game.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Touchstarved}}'' has Kuras, whose character sheet describes him as "possibly the worst cook in the entire city".

* Presumably out of amusement, Riko in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'' occasionally makes completely inedible lunches for Masayuki. She's a perfectly competent cook, she just does it for fun.

* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'':
** Akira is said to often have "blow(n herself) up" while cooking, with her blind younger sister Lilly doing a better job.
** Shizune Hakamichi doesn't even seem to understand the ''theory'' behind the food she cooks. Could be explained by the fact that she's [[TheOjou filthy rich]] and may not have had to ever do much cooking herself, not to mention she tends to order take-out food more than once.
%%* Noriko, the clarinet player in "Bra-ban! The Bonds of Melody".
