One-Note Cook	comment	A character — frequently male — who is only able to make one specific kind of food, often because they're a Lethal Chef, and attempts to diversify their efforts would end in disaster. Through harsh training, they have finally become able to make one thing that is edible, at least. If it's their Trademark Favorite Food, they're in luck. Sometimes their specialty dish is widely praised as being transcendentally delicious... they just can't transfer that skill to anything else. Sometimes Truth in Television — it's relatively common for people who aren't particularly good at cooking (even if they're not quite at Lethal Chef levels) to be able to make a few dishes fairly well. This trope lies somewhere between Supreme Chef and Lethal Chef. Also see Crippling Overspecialization for other non-culinary examples.

While he's usually not abysmal at cooking outside of his element, his style heavily leans on the usage of hot peppers - you can practically predict how close of a match he'll have in Iron Chef or Throwdown based on how well the secret ingredient/proposed dish would work with spicy peppers thrown in.

Repede can be given any of the recipes to cook (of which there are a lot), and he even has a surprisingly low failure rate. Except regardless of whether you have him make a sandwich, a sorbet, or hot pot, or anything else, all Repede can make... is dog food.

Compared to characters with a single ingredient theme (like a single vegetable or fruit), this leads to a lot of episodes based on two of these characters battling over whose dish is the best. This is also the driving point of practically every argument the Donburiman Trio has gotten into: which donburi dish is the tastiest.

One-Note Cook / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Albert, The Grim Reaper's manservant, can only make fry-ups. He will experiment with porridge or Hogswatch pudding, but only by frying them. Fortunately, Death doesn't need to eat. It's not that Albert can't make anything un-fried, it's that he can't wrap his brain around un-fried food, since that's all he ever eats. The fried porridge thing was considered progress. Of course, he's effectively immortal as long as he stays in Death's Domain, so he can get away with a constant diet of fried foods. He did manage a mug of cocoa once. Well, he was close. If you turned the mug sideways, it would pour out eventually. Lady Sybil Vimes can similarly only do a fry-up, and that's usually frazzled, due to her insistence on using her beloved swamp dragons as her primary heat source. Fortunately, years as a street copper have resulted in Sam Vimes actually preferring greasy, frazzled food. Aimsbury in Making Money can actually cook a few things, but they're all fit for a dog to eat (Topsy Lavish, an eccentric old lady, hired him to cook for her Mister Muffykins) and therefore made of odd meats that most humans would rather avoid. He even asks "Have you seen my book, Cooking with Brains?" He prefers cooking for a dog because he has to stay out of professional kitchens due to an allergy to the word "garlic". Conversed in Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, where Nanny expresses the opinion that men can't cook, although some of them can cuisine. If a woman says her husband cooks, Nanny generally translates that as meaning he knows one complicated and expensive recipe that he does once a year.

Justified in that she also lives in an airplane and presumably subsists entirely on military-styled rations and eggs from the three chickens on the plane. At one point, she attempts to cook a block of ramen in the same manner as fried eggs (by plopping it in a frying pan) and ends up setting a fire.

Kaito Sena is initially resurrected in another world by Elisabeth le Fanu to be her manservant but unfortunately, he's nearly useless in the kitchen: the only thing he's actually any good at is custard pudding. In his defense, Elisabeth prefers organ meat, which is difficult to cook well even under ideal circumstances, and the Translator Microbes she equipped him with turned out to be too effective and translate ingredients' names to him as their closest Earth equivalents, which throws off the flavor. He eventually acquires Hina, a clockwork automaton in the form of a Meido, who takes over kitchen duty much to both his and Elisabeth's relief.

One-Note Cook / int_7db5e90f	comment	The Lucky Luke album La Diligence had a Running Gag where every one of the cooks at the stagecoach stops only knew how to make (the stagecoach says it's company mandate) bacon and beans. During the high-class dinner at the end, they STILL only serve bacon and beans, with some random extra ingredients added for each dish. To say the characters are sick of bacon and beans at that point is an understatement. The only stop that serves something else has been bribed as part of a bet. Despite his love of food, Averell Dalton is an absolutely horrendous cook, the only food he can prepare with any degree of edibility is curried eggs (though in Dalton City, Lucky Luke claims that the dish is inedible, though he might just have been screwing with Averell as part of his plan)

When he trades places with a chef for a fancy restaurant, his attempts at haute cuisine end up turning into Krabby Patties (although they taste so good that even the most discriminating customers won't turn them down). One episode centers around him trying to make himself an ice cream sundae, but, lacking ingredients, he substitutes random junk that give him lethally bad breath. In an episode where got fired in his job at the Krusty Krab, he tries to work at other restaurants, which consist of a hot dog joint, a pizza place, a taco shack, and a Chinese restaurant. All of the places, he worked at at has him making them into a variant of a Krabby Patty, with the food of that place placed between the buns.

One-Note Cook / int_ce009416	comment	This is practically a plot point of Yakitate!! Japan. Azuma can only make bread and gets himself into trouble when part of the Pantasia's Newcomer challenge requires him to cook yakisoba. Considering the sheer variety of bread Azuma can make, this might also fall under When All You Have Is a Hammerâ€¦.

Beezus has been taking a cooking class, however, and in the end, they make an imperfect but decent meal of chicken in yogurt sauce, rice, cornbread, and cooked pears.

One-Note Cook / int_d2a88553	comment	In Persona 3 Reload, Akihiko Sanada is actually a good cook when he makes nutritious meals that line up with his athleticism (such as a pork liver stir-fry for its iron content). He is basically a fish out of water when trying to cook anything else, which leads to the protagonist needing to take control of the kitchen, as cooking something as simple, like pancakes, goes over his head.

For everything else, he's a mess in the kitchen, if the cooking class at school is any evidence. This is, of course, Eddy talking, so it's intentionally left ambiguous as to whether his omelets are actually as good as he says or it's just another one of his shameless boasts.

In the rest of the series she's a Lethal Chef - especially when it comes to curry. Rei herself isn't much of a cook either unless it's food that comes prepackaged, like curry. In one episode when the girls go on a picnic, Rei teases Usagi's shoddy attempt at home cooking leading to Usagi pointing out that at least she tried while Rei just bought fast food. In a later episode during Rei's little Imagine Spot of the things she can cook, like instant curry, she's shoved all the packages inside a food processor without even opening them.

According to Arlan, Asta loves it, so he cooks a bowl for the Trailblazer as thanks for helping him so often at the beginning of "Punklorde Mentality". At the end of the same mission, Screwllum specifically orders some from "a certain young man" aboard the Herta Space Station. He holds Arlan's fried rice in the same regard as a fine steak garnished with lemongrass and served alongside "compound milk".
