if you liked the cooking element in ingredients then kinou nani tabeta is similar in that sense as both dramas have a focus on food and how one of the leads cooks for the other/has a passion for cooking
the major differences is that kinou nani tabeta the relationship is already established (whereas ingredients is more of a slow burn romance) and focuses on an older couple but it's still very much enjoyable

Call it odd, but these two japanese BL dramas both display very unhealthy relationships bogged down intense insecurities.

In both, the leads live together and find it difficult to confess their relationship to others - which causes tension in their relationship.
