A Goth Cooking Show duel, inspired by Iron Chef and Death Note! La Carmina travels to Tokyo to challenge the Hungry Ghost master. He cooks all-white foods, while hers are all-black. Will Carmina make it out of his lair alive? Thank goodness she has Kojin and the Death Cookbook!

"Hello. I am Kojin, the Japanese Kitchen God. You can see me because you touched the Death Cookbook."
HOW TO USE...
Write down the name of a recipe and close the book. When you open the book, a recipe from the realm of the gods will appear.
THERE ARE 3 CATCHES...
One, only those who touch the cookbook can see Kojin and use the cookbook.
Two, you can only make one entry in the cookbook every 24 hours.
Three, once a recipe appears, you have 24 hours to gather the ingredients and successfully make it. If you don't, you will turn into a hungry ghost.
