Akane vs. Ranma! I'll Be the One to Inherit Mother's Recipes! (あかねＶＳらんま お母さんの味は私が守る！ Akane vs Ranma: Okā-san no Aji wa Watashi ga Mamoru! ?) is the third OVA of Ranma ½ anime. When Kasumi falls ill and leaves the Tendo home without a chef, Nodoka Saotome, Ranma's mother, pays a visit and offers her assistance. The family isn't too happy though when she offers to help teach Akane how to cook. Akane's desire to learn to cook is even more intense, because she recently discovered her mother's old cookbook. Ranma (disguised as the Tendo's cousin Ranko) decides he should help in the kitchen in order to insure Akane doesn't accidentally kill his mother with her notoriously bad cooking.
