The Otherworldly Culinary Mage

The phoenix is no ordinary creature. Reborn in flames, it soars proudly into the blue sky.

Avril, a phoenix maiden, starts out at a little restaurant and rises to success. She awakens her sense of taste, hones her cooking skills, and builds a restaurant from scratch!

The phoenix markings have appeared, but where are the people with dragon markings hiding? What do those great clans want? Sooner or later, she'll rise above the heavens and let her strength speak for itself.

P.S. Volume One is about striving to succeed; Volume Two is about a powerful heroine. If that's not your thing, please don't read!
