Reader comments

I especially hate those extravagant "tail-burning banquets", but I admire Su Huan mentioned in the book. He can care about the people and refuse such waste. Moreover, the menu in the book can also reveal the openness of the Tang Dynasty and the inheritance of Chinese cuisine. I feel like this book is not only about food, but also allows me to see the historical side.

I want to read a book similar to "My Breakfast Is Different (Leyou Life Part 1 Part 3)". The best taste in the world is pure joy, only good food can soothe people's hearts
