There Are Hardly Any Good Foodie Stories These Days. I Dare You to Prove Me Wrong
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
Food Novels That Make Great Mealtime Reading
Nothing too basic, please. I want something well written, ideally with detailed descriptions of the food, but without overly flowery prose!!!!
Looking for Food and Cooking Stories with Excellent Writing and No Idiotic Characters!!!
Food stories, cooking stories.
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 Novels, But Not Ones Where the System Just Hands Out Recipes
I don't want stories where the System gives the protagonist individual recipes and they can only cook those dishes. I want a proper chef and food story.
Female Lead Runs a Little Restaurant and Guesthouse! Great Cook!
Looking for Stories with a Female Lead Who Can Cook All Kinds of Delicious Food. Thanks!
The female lead can cook all kinds of delicious food, a bit like Chinese Hero. She can explain each dish as she cooks. It doesn't have to be about competing with others or picking fights through cooking; running a restaurant or something is fine.
Looking for a Food Novel About Simply Cooking, Opening a Shop, and Everyday Family Life, With No Scheming
Please Recommend a Story Where the Heroine Opens a Cafe, Flower Shop, or Pet Shop, and Knows How to Cook
Food Stories About Selling Snacks at a Street Stall
Business, Shopkeeping, or Infrastructure-Building With a System. No Apocalypse or Ancient Settings. Female-Oriented
Looking for stories about running a business with a System, opening a shop with a System, or infrastructure-building with a System. No post-apocalyptic or ancient settings. Female-oriented fiction, and it has to be good. Please don't recommend bad stories. I said no post-apocalyptic or ancient settings, so why do people keep recommending them? Can you not read plain English?
Give Me Some Food Fiction About Street Stalls or Opening a Shop. No Starting Out With a Kid
No more child-rearing plots. I'm so sick of them. If it's a food story, just make it about food.
Looking for Food Novels! Incredible Cooking! Everything Looks Delicious!
Food novels! Modern-day or period settings are both fine. The protagonist should have amazing cooking skills, and running a street stall or opening a restaurant are both fine. I would like the process to be described in detail, preferably with food names as the chapter titles. Most importantly, there has to be a romantic pairing. I love watching other people fall in love, and romance and making money should both be part of the story.
Food Novels Focused Purely on Cooking, No Random Plotlines!
Don't recommend it unless it's actually a food novel. If it doesn't feature food, what the hell am I supposed to read it for? I'd be better off reading something else!
A Heroine Who's an Amazing Cook, Strong, and in a Logical Story With No Mindless Plotting

So far, the plot hasn't fallen apart, which is quite remarkable. However, the author initially overlooked the fact that one person can't manage everything in a shop. The night market storyline could have continued, but it just hasn't been able to quickly transition into the main plot. Overall, this book is a masterpiece.
It made me hungry just watching it! The plot was great, the only downside was the male lead; I skipped through the chapters where he had romantic scenes. I think the author writes very well, but for some reason I just don't want to see the male lead 😂😂😂
I don't understand why anyone would say this book is bad. On the contrary, I think every character in the book is very vivid, especially the patriarch. Although his presence is weak in the later stages, I always knew that the female lead had him by her side. When I saw that the patriarch finally passed away, I cried my eyes out.
It's quite heartwarming and healing, and the female lead's personality is also very pleasant. I just want to ask if the main character's love interest is Jiang Ying?
The female protagonist is forced to resign by her colleagues at the beginning of the story. She returns to her hometown to take care of her grandmother. She finds a pot at home, which awakens the ancestor of the Song Dynasty imperial chefs. She starts by setting up a night market stall, then opens a small restaurant in an alley, accumulating connections and meeting the male protagonist.
At first, I couldn't quite get into it, but the more I watched, the more hooked I became. The female lead has a great personality, but her departure from her job was too frustrating. Later, she was falsely accused but didn't fight back. However, in the later episodes, she was able to think calmly when faced with problems and give a powerful counterattack, which was great.
It's a disguised system novel, although the original setting is quite heartwarming. The female lead works very hard, and thanks to her academic genius, she transforms from a kitchen novice into a master chef for state banquets. The male lead has the typical male lead vibe, but something just feels missing.
I found this book truly heartwarming. Every time I read about the ancestor being framed, I felt deeply saddened. It portrays how, while there may be betrayal and exploitation between people, there is far more help and care. We can't expect everyone to be genuinely kind to us, so the fact that most people are kind to us is incredibly precious.
The boxed lunch seems really cheap 🤦 Beef, toon sprouts with eggs, shredded green peppers and potatoes, and pork rib soup are only 18 yuan. It looks great; it beautifies reality.
It's a great show! The female lead is smart and hardworking, honing her culinary skills to perfection. With the help of a ghost-like royal chef ancestor, she finds a handsome, wealthy, and capable husband. Her career also soars to new heights—it's awesome!
