The Chef of the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, Vinsmoke Sanji, or as he is popularly known as Black Leg Sanji, is not only one of the strongest fighters in the crew and the anime series, but he is also a brilliant cook. His culinary skills and his mindset about not letting anyone starve make him not only a great chef but also a great human being.
In the series, whenever Sanji is not fighting the extremely powerful villains, he is seen making delicious meals, drinks, dishes, and more for the crew and sometimes for others too. His cooking has not only helped him attain the title of one of the best chefs in One Piece but it has also saved the lives of many people.
Among his list of multiple exquisite meals and dishes, there is one dish that has made it out of the series and into real life. The dish is Sanji’s curry and he teaches this dish to Raijo in one of the filler episodes of One Piece. A One Piece fan was successful in making it in real life and it looks even more delicious than the anime series.
Sanji’s Cooking Skills Are One of The Best in One Piece
A self-taught chef since a young age, Sanji received personal training from Zeff to become an extraordinary culinary master of the greatest degree. He is a highly skilled chef with a keen eye for culinary aesthetic value. He can prepare nearly any type of delectable dish. He cooks with incredible speed and precision, particularly when it comes to using knives.
In addition, he has an excellent sense of taste, which enables him to comprehend the meal and prepare it on his own. Apart from her culinary prowess, Sanji also writes recipes with extraordinary skill. Sanji needs to be a skilled chef as well as a decent pirate to fulfill his dream of discovering and exploring All Blue.
He has been working hard since the beginning to achieve his dream. Along the way, his cooking brings smiles to the faces of his crew and others as seen during the Whole Cake Island arc and the Wano Arc where he was seen preparing dishes that not only fed the hungry people but also saved many lives.
One Piece Fan Makes Sanji’s Curry in Real Life
In the Alabasta arc, the Straw Hats encounter Taijo, who shares Sanji’s enthusiasm for exploring the All Blue. As the group explores, Sanji notices Taijo’s difficulty in winning over the Marines and offers to assist him. He also imparts his cooking knowledge to Taijo as a skilled chef.
Sanji, who has been cooking since childhood and has a strong dislike of food waste, feeds some Marine elites well and creates one of the most amazing curries that One Piece fans have seen in their lives. The recipe was then copied to the core by an Anime and Video Game food recreationist @IssaGrill and she made the curry exactly like Sanji’s.
She followed the recipe, used the same ingredients and method to recreate the curry and it turned out to be even better than the anime series. There are many dishes that Sanji has prepared in the series over the years, and fans can easily learn from him about how to be a great cook.
