Not solo, as far as I can recall, but she and Sakuya cooked the celebratory dinner in TTW Act VIII together—Remilia remarks at one point how interesting the cuisine of wherever she comes from is. One presumes she tones back the spiciness a bit when cooking for anyone other than herself; the cuisine of the Earth Kingdom province where she learned to cook is essentially Sichuan, and her personal taste is to like it as hot as possible.

(Although, for the record, Remilia does not dislike spicy food as such; she just isn't into crazy stuff like flaming fire flakes, or deliberately crunching the red peppers in Kung Pao chicken. She likes spicy food that tastes like something, rather than just being hot for hot's sake.)

Flan has a pretty long list of stuff she wants to get around to now that she's capable of getting around to things, and kitchenry is on it, although at the moment it's some distance below musical matters, combat magic, and finding out what is this strange business called love. :)

>"Also, I wish I had half the girl's emotional resilience."

Keeping busy helps, and since it's her natural tendency anyway, that works out.

Sakuya also helps. Quite a lot, really.
