Im just found there is a dorama about this manga http://www.gooddrama.net/japanese-drama/nobunaga-no-chef-episode-1
@BlackHayate: Yeah, I was pretty confused about that too... I have both a guess and another question:

My guess is that, Ken based his recipe on the caldo verde, which is supposed to have potato in it. He didn't have potatoes, but he still called it potage because of what he was 'trying' to make.

My second question is that, if caldo verde didn't exist yet (I think the potato was only introduced to Portugal in the 1530s or 1540s by portuguese explorers who went to South America and it was in a pretty primitive form.), how did Frois think of it as his nation's soup? This too might be explained by an older form of Portuguese kale soup, however, even so, the use of dried cod in caldo verde, although not unheard of, isn't really normal (normally garnished with chorico or just olive oil).

Without the olive oil, potato or even the kale, it couldn't have been that close to whatever Frois could (or shouldn't have been able to) remember.

Still a great read, nonetheless~ Maybe there are reasonable explanations for all these, but I still haven't figured it out.
I like manga that introduce unfamiliar things to me. Cooking and beautiful food is a definite bonus. I'm loving it so far; I think the best part is that I find myself learning new things.

Discovered this and Thermae Romae in the same day. It's a good day for time travel manga...and it also reminds me of Jin.
I think it's more Hyougemono with food (and time travel).
Is this anything like Thermae Romae, but with food?
This is like the cooking version of JIn
Need more ASAP, this is freaking awesome.
bloody awesome read, can't wait for the next chapter
Food and Sengoku Jidai, reason enough for me to follow.
Same author as hell's kitchen. Insta-fav
I have found this one to be great. Now I wonder what happened to the other three.
food,seinen, time travel im loving this
Finally thanks guys!
I dont know what it is but there is something about cooking manga that fascinates me. Im glad I found a new one.
i read a couple of chapters on another site, while i'm not a huge fan of cooking manga, this one was quite a nice change of pace and the historical aspects are interesting.
