Looking for a Food Novel About Simply Cooking, Opening a Shop, and Everyday Family Life, With No Scheming
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.

For those who came from the previous book, witness the start of the new one!
Not enough! Absolutely not enough! I'm begging for more! Having read the previous book by the same author, and both being food-themed, I was initially worried it would just be a pick-up slate with nothing new. But to my utter surprise, this one is even more interesting than the last!
The overall plot flows smoothly, with a few minor logical inconsistencies, but there's still room for anticipation. For example, the protagonist, a chef, lacks muscle definition. Even though he's portrayed as an actor, the difference between him and a chef is that he only cooks on screen; he's essentially a cook. As for smoking, I think a little less wouldn't be a big deal.
Looking forward to it, girl! Update faster, it's not enough, not enough at all!
I came from Mr. Lin's street stall. It looks so good! 😘😘
The previous book was just as captivating as ever.
Faster, faster, faster! Author, you should learn from the author next door; they consistently write 5 chapters a day, sometimes 8.
The new book, adapted from an older one, is just as good and engaging; I recommend updating it daily.
Just as good as the previous book, keep up the good work, female author!
The plot of this book is difficult to develop, and unlike Boss Lin's book which has a weekly episodic story that is relatively easy to fill, the book also has customers who include both ordinary people and wealthy people. Writing about the entertainment industry will gradually get you caught up in it, but the writing style remains cheerful, comfortable, and as always, satisfying.
