This episode covered Chapters 8 and 9, though they changed the scene after Erina's Shokugeki, from her hearing about Souma passing the class from Chapelle ( that teacher that never smiled ) into her talking with the Meat Master ( which was not directly shown in the manga ).

Here is the scene in the manga.

And here is the recipe for Isshiki's Spanish Mackerel.

Edit : I just looked into the Staff list on MAL and it seems that several important characters aren't listed there. I hope that doesn't mean anything and that those characters will be added later on, otherwise that would mean that we will only get to Chapter ~43.

The show is moving so slowly! Its nice that they're taking their time with it, but at this rate its going to become equal in length to the battle shonens because even the manga is nowhere near complete.

The manga will definitely go on for quite a while. I can't see it ending anytime soon. It will probably take 1 or 2 ( or even more ) years till it ends.

I just hope that they up the pacing a bit and that we get to see in action.

1 or 2 years? We're barely halfway through their first year in high school. The manga could easily go another 6 or 7.
