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!

1. The male lead must be a virgin. I don't want the female lead to have already married the male lead and had a child before she transmigrates. 2. I don't like golden fingers. 3. I like female leads with strong personalities, especially villainous women. 4. I don't want the female lead to have several children, all of them boys. 5. I prefer a female lead who is a native of the setting.
