Looking for Farming or Refugee-Escape Stories With Sound Logic. Don't Treat Readers Like Idiots
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
Farming, Hunting, Mushroom Foraging, and Cooking, No Villains or Golden Fingers
No spoiled rich kids, just village life.
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!
Looking for Foodie Novels About Cooking, Snacks, and Restaurants
Preferably something with detailed materials, so it feels more immersive.
Realistic Farming Stories, Pure Farming Fiction
Nothing exaggerated or lacking common sense! For example, characters casually growing ten thousand mu of farmland themselves: just how many square meters would that be?
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.
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.
Farming, Home Renovation, Brewing Wine with a Spirit Spring, and a Relaxing Pace
No pretending to be poor, no face-slapping, no helping the whole village get rich, and no opening a zoo! Grow top-tier flowers and medicinal herbs, and build a pond for ornamental fish. Livestreaming is fine!
Travel Back to Ancient Times, Make All Kinds of Delicious Food, with Clear Logic and No Saintly Main Character
Food Novels, Food Novels, I’m Out of Books to Read
A book with food in the title, and every chapter named after a dish.
Underrated but Great Historical Farming Novels
Under-the-radar but good ancient farming stories.
Historical Farming Stories, No Pocket Dimension or System
Ancient-era farming stories with a cozy feel, where the characters work hard to earn money and build a life. I enjoy family dramas, doing business, or preparing for the imperial exams.
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.
Do You Like Pure Farming Novels?
Why do farming novels always turn into cultivation novels?
Looking for Food-Themed Stories with Great Writing and No Stupid Characters!

Historical Romance, Farming, Transmigration
Please recommend a great book... Is there one you've read that you never forgot? I'm suffering from a reading slump! I get scared off whenever I look at the comments!
Historical, War, and Farming Novels
Looking for books like "Journey to the Edge of the World." Recommend novels with normal-sounding titles that are actually good.
Looking for Good Farming Stories, No Golden Finger and No Portable Space
I'm looking for a farming novel that's closer to reality, where the protagonist uses her wits to make her own way. Thank you...
Farming Stories, Transmigration, No Soap Opera Drama, Completed. Please Recommend!
Looking for a Fresh, Relaxing Farming Novel. Reality Is Hard Enough. I Just Want Something Sweet
Transmigration Farming Novels: A Simple Life Away from Court Intrigue
I really don't like stories that start dragging the imperial court into things. I prefer a calm, ordinary sort of story. Superpowers and stuff are fine, too.

It's pretty good. I've read over thirty chapters, and I think it's better for the female lead to keep some money hidden away. It's unfair that she has to give it all to the Li family; it's like she has to get someone else's permission to spend it even though she earned it herself.
The author writes very well, capturing the essence of everyday life. With the family working together, things will never be bad. It's going well so far; I hope the male lead doesn't suddenly appear and ruin the plot. The female lead is from the modern era, and no matter how open-minded an ancient man is, he won't be on the same wavelength as her and will only be a burden.
The female protagonist is independent and strong. Although some plot points feel a bit abrupt, perhaps due to the author's early stage of writing, it has a refreshing feel. The male lead hasn't appeared yet. In her previous life, the female protagonist lost both parents and found family in this new world.
I've only read up to chapter 200, and I really can't stand the female lead's mother. Even though she's straightforward, it's just...🤔🤔🤔
It's really good, at least among the food-themed novels I've read so far. There's no so-called "golden finger" or system; I really like this kind of novel that unfolds step by step. It truly shows how difficult it was for women in ancient times, and it also portrays the unintentional love within families. The absence of awful relatives is a real plus, and the mutual support among neighbors is also nice. Anyway, I really love it.
It's alright, but the female lead's mother in the middle is too much of a troublemaker.
I think this book is quite well-written! There are no cheat codes or lucky charms, and although the pacing is a bit slow, it's very enjoyable to read. The author is a good eater and cook, and the cooking process is described in great detail and vividly. It made me hungry late at night while reading it.
The author writes quite well, with a strong sense of everyday life and a slow-paced, flowing story. The cooking parts are described in great detail, but at times it feels a bit sluggish and lacks the motivation to keep reading. However, I still finished it. (P. S. Sometimes the female lead's mother's actions are a bit too saintly and overly compassionate.) Overall, it's a good read.
This Dharma assembly is so well written!!! Waaaaaah, I specifically read this part first, it's so well written! I feel like I was part of the fun, eating flower cakes and playing together. I especially love these temple fair and shopping scenes, watching the female lead buy and sell things, eat delicious food, enjoy beautiful scenery, and savor fine wine. I wish she would write more and more chapters like this, I could read it without getting tired of it!
I've read several books by female authors, and they're all excellent. This book is full of emotion and delicate details. The food descriptions add a touch of everyday life. The happy ending of lovers celebrates the beauty of life and deserves a five-star rating!
