Song Yan's Little Chef: Notes on Modern Gastronomy
About This Novel
During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Zhiyu, a cook in the imperial kitchen specializing in nourishing and medicinal meals, accidentally traveled to the modern city in 2024 due to a strange phenomenon of stove fire. Facing a strange world of tall buildings and busy traffic, she did not panic. Instead, she relied on her extreme sensitivity to ingredients and superb food nutrition skills of the Song Dynasty to surprise everyone with a bowl of "Autumnal Equinox Stomach Porridge" in a small restaurant in the city village, starting a counterattack. Shen Yan, a modern nutrition expert, suffered from chronic spleen and stomach diseases due to long-term irregular eating habits. At first, she scorned Song Zhiyu's "ancient food nutrition". However, after tasting her delicious food, her health improved significantly. She was gradually impressed by her professionalism and ingenuity and became a staunch supporter of her career. From setting up a street stall to being invited to participate in the National Food Culture Competition, Song Zhiyu focused on "solar food and nourishment" and launched a series of Songyan delicacies that are both beautiful and therapeutic, and have attracted countless fans. Faced with plagiarism and smearing from internet celebrity brands, she stood up to the challenge with research on recipes from the Song Dynasty and identification by traditional Chinese medicine, and finally restored the "Song Banquet" at the food festival, stunning the audience. She opened a food and nutrition restaurant, recruited apprentices, and declared intangible cultural heritage, bringing the food and nutrition culture of the Song Dynasty to the public eye. And her relationship with Shen Yan also quietly heated up while developing new dishes and overcoming difficulties together, and it was a matter of course. This is a dialogue about food and nutrition that spans thousands of years, and it is also an ancient cook who lives a wonderful independent life relying on her craftsmanship in modern times.
