Yuki Nomoto, a woman living alone in Tokyo, enjoys cooking, and while she posts her homemade dishes on social media, she regrets that she cannot make the large servings she longs for because she has a small appetite. After being frustrated at work, Nomoto accidentally cooks a large amount of food and is at a loss on how to eat it all. She then remembers her neighbor two houses down, Totoko Kasuga, who eats large amounts of fast food by herself. Nomoto decides to invite Kasuga to eat with her, soon forming a friendship around their love of cooking and eating. As they become closer overtime, visiting each other's houses and going on outings together, the pair begin to develop feelings for each other.

:A woman who loves to eat, Kasuga lives in the apartment two doors down from Nomoto. She is usually very reserved, but gradually opens up as she and Nomoto share more meals together. She was raised in a conservative family where men were prioritized over women and was often served smaller meal portions compared to her father and brother. Her discomfort with her father's views on her place within the family caused her to eventually cut ties with them seek employment away from home.

:A young woman who moves into the apartment between Nomoto and Kasuga. She has had no interest in food since she was a child, and has been traumatized by her parents, who, although loving, were unsympathetic about it, and by a teacher who forced her to eat school lunches. As a result, she can only drink liquids in public and keeps her distance from her family. Through her interactions with Nomoto, Kasuga, and Yako, she learned that she has a phobia of eating in public, and began to work on cognitive therapy.

In ''[[Anime News Network]]'''s Fall 2022 Manga Guide, Rebecca Silverman gave volume 1 of '' She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat'' 4.5 out 5, summarizing "this is yuri for the adult crowd, not because it's sexy or because it's more realistic [...] but because it isn't about the short-term payoff – this is a story about two women who are just letting their relationship grow naturally." Similarly, Christopher Farris also gave the first volume 4.5 out 5, noting that the cooking and eating segments provide a strong framework for the narrative that allows it to explore other aspects of the characters lives, such as their everyday aggravations of sexism, though noting that "even with the societal stressors powering the background of it, She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat still largely comes off as comfort food." MrAJCosplay gave the first volume 3 out of 5, praising Sakaomi's depiction of a variety of body types and feeling that "there isn't much in the way of recipes, but there's just something nice about watching other people enjoy something nice amongst good company."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Fall 2022 Manga Guide: She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022-09-23/the-fall-2022-manga-guide/she-loves-to-cook-and-she-loves-to-eat/.189864|website=[[Anime News Network]]|accessdate=June 15, 2024|date=September 23, 2022|archive-date=May 9, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509214715/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022-09-23/the-fall-2022-manga-guide/she-loves-to-cook-and-she-loves-to-eat/.189864|url-status=live}}</ref>
