Looking for chill and relaxing anime suggestions?

I am looking for anime that relaxing and chill. nothing horror, action, sad or heavy. I want it to have a happy ending. Any era fine as long as it has english subtitles.

Some shows I have enjoyed in the past are

yuri on ice

kiss him not me

chi sweet home

crayon shin chan

bonus points if it has cooking in the show. But I want all recommends for chill and relaxing anime (cooking or not) that out there.

You should read my bias gets on the last train -- peak romance. Very chill. Give it 8 chapters.

Some slice of life anime with food/cooking that come to mind:

Yuru Camp (curry ramen and camping yum)

Food for the Soul (wholesome food/cooking club)

Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill (isekai cooking, pretty wholesome and chill watch)

Restaurant to Another World (also isekai cooking)

Hope you find some of them a fun and chill watch :)!

Spy x family. There is some action but still pretty relaxing
Barakamon/Handa-kun. Relaxing and funny
You and me. Pretty chill
Tanaka kun is listless
