Looking for Food Stories With Braised Intestines and Red-Braised Pork. Ancient or Period Settings Are Fine 😘
Everyday Food Stories, Nothing Too Over-the-Top
Are There Any Foodie Novels on Tomato?
Male- or female-oriented novels are both fine. No harems with three thousand beauties. Either no female lead, or just one. For female-oriented novels, anything goes, since I’m a total hypocrite about this. No brainless characters who get dumbed down!
Food Stories About Selling Snacks at a Street Stall
Period Drama With a Heroine Who’s Amazing at Cooking
Ideally, the female lead is reborn or transmigrates into a book, and gets rich through cooking. Preferably no kids. I like career-focused female leads who shine on their own!!!
Please Recommend a Book You’d Rate 9.9 Out of 10 (A Book You Personally Consider a 9.9 Is Fine Too) 😭
Female-oriented fiction, historical or contemporary romance, either is fine. As long as it's good.
Looking for Food Novels Rated 9.0 or Above
Good prose and upright values.
I Need Ancient-Era Food and Farming Novels!
Looking for stories where the heroine transmigrates to ancient times, cooks, and builds a prosperous life. CP or no CP is fine. Not too many awful characters, and the male lead shouldn’t have too high a status. No palace intrigue, please. Great writing and airtight logic are a must.
The Protagonist Seems Weak, but Is Actually Invincible
I've become indifferent to a lot of things,
Historical-Era Story About a Female Lead Who's a Chef at a State-Owned Restaurant
Completed Food-Themed Novels
Looking for completed novels about food. I don’t want ongoing series; I read every day and can never get enough.
Looking for a Period Drama with a Female Chef Who Transmigrates, and No Pocket Dimension!!
Preferably set in the 1970s!!!
A Period-Era Story Where the Female Lead's Family Works at a Slaughterhouse and She's a Great Cook
A Completed Period Story About Transmigrating With a Shopping Mall
Transmigrated with an entire shopping mall, with endless supplies that never run out
Please Recommend Some Books! Historical-Era Stories, Preferably Completed
The female lead shouldn't be a saint. She should be decisive, the type who'd rather throw a punch than argue. I don't mind whether she has a golden finger or a pocket dimension. The male lead should dote on his wife, be full of schemes, and be decisive.
Looking for a Reborn Foodie Novel Set in a Bygone Era 🙃
I remember reading a book about a woman reborn in a particular era. She had a husband and a son, cooked delicious food, and opened a rice noodle shop. Does anyone know the title? 😭
The Heroine Transmigrates and Wakes Up with a Baby
Looking for Period-Era Stories, Cute Kids Welcome. Farming, Pocket Dimensions, and Systems Are All Fine
Preferably something set in the 1960s or 70s, with the protagonist transmigrating or something along those lines. A portable space or a System is fine. Ideally, there are fewer awful relatives. Please recommend some if you know any.
Looking for a Period Novel with a Beautiful, Talented Cook of a Female Lead Who Isn’t Too Much of a Saint
Looking for books like "Back to the Sixties: Farming, Building a Fortune, and Raising Kids". The male lead shouldn't be serving in the military, though he can be a veteran. In short, no couples who have to live apart.
Novels About a Cook in a Bygone Era
Looking for books similar to "The Delicious Little Cook: Young Master, Have a Taste". I'd like to read about a cook in a bygone era and her relationship with a young nobleman. Any recommendations?

Overall, it's a heartwarming and comforting book. There are some quirky characters, but they don't escalate too much, or they're simply suppressed. Many details about cooking feel very down-to-earth and realistic. The male and female leads get married quickly after only a few chapters, which is quite rare in similar stories. The only problem is that the female lead's life is too smooth.
The story mainly focuses on the female lead's excellent cooking skills, which lead to her rapid growth in the catering industry. The female and male leads live a relatively comfortable life without major upheavals. The only issues are some women trying to interfere as mistresses and some relatives trying to take advantage of them, but the female lead always manages to detect and nip these…
This book has a really fast pace. There aren't any particularly outstanding characters, just one or two sisters-in-law who take advantage of others. Maybe it's because the pace is too fast; the female protagonist meets her crush on a bus as soon as she transmigrates, and soon after, she accepts and marries him. It's a whirlwind marriage, a love-at-first-sight meeting on a blind date with the same guy she's attracted to. She has three children in no time. It's not really my style.
I love it! I haven't seen the rest yet, but Ji Lin is so outstanding—Zhou Bing isn't good enough for her, especially with his awful younger sister. I hope they don't end up together; may she shine on her own. Or maybe she'll be paired with someone even better!
It's pretty good. No system, no special abilities, no cheat codes—she relies entirely on her memories of her past life to achieve her rebirth. The female lead also has very sound values; she's neither arrogant nor complacent, and she discusses matters big and small with her family and husband. These values are quite admirable.
Family, I really didn't expect this book to end so quickly. The whole story was very heartwarming, and there weren't any characters who felt like naive, innocent girls. The female lead is very capable and a great cook, which really appealed to me. I really want to learn to cook at New Oriental! The whole book made me feel that the female lead is very capable and intelligent, as is the male lead.
It's a great show. The female lead isn't a saint. The only really annoying thing about the family is the eldest sister-in-law and Tian Niu. Everyone else is great, but there's too little interaction between the female lead and the children. I hope there will be more interaction between the female lead and the children.
It's a good read, the story isn't too melodramatic. It's a shame the sister-in-law wasn't replaced, and it seems the older brother hasn't found a new wife yet. The ending felt a bit rushed! Overall, the content is still very engaging and worth watching.
It's a very good read. The romance between the male and female leads is sweet and enduring, just the kind of relationship I like. The female lead isn't weak or overly virtuous, and there are very few truly awful characters. It's a really great book and definitely worth reading!
The story depicts a mundane life. The sisters-in-law of the female and male protagonists are both rather eccentric. I don't like sweet girls; it's really annoying for a child like that. The male and female protagonists become wealthy and help the villagers to the best of their ability. The writing is also very logical. Some points that were unclear in the beginning are answered in the later part of the story. It's a very good story!
