There Are Hardly Any Good Foodie Stories These Days. I Dare You to Prove Me Wrong
Crime Investigation and Case-Solving, Episodic Stories, No One Big Case Running Through the Whole Novel!
Everyday Food Stories, Nothing Too Over-the-Top
Any Suspense and Detective Novels Where the Leads Solve Cases While Falling in Love?
They start out disliking each other, then solve cases and fall in love along the way.
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 Relaxing, Cozy Novels with an Easygoing Daily-Life Feel That Stay Enjoyable
Any Crime Investigation Stories Focused on Solving Cases, with Romance on the Side and a Strong Duo?
Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2. The man shouldn't be stronger than the woman; they should be evenly matched. 3. The mystery should be solved through deduction alone, with no special abilities.
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.
Any Good Historical Romance About Everyday Family and Neighborhood Life in an Ancient Town?
Ancient-Era Food Novels: The Female Lead Is an Amazing Cook and Opens Her Own Restaurant!!!!
Looking for books like "The Eatery’s Survival Guide: Cooking and Gossiping Go Hand in Hand". I want an ancient-setting food novel where the female lead is an amazing 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.
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.
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!
Any Stories Where the Female Lead Runs a Shop? An Inn, Blind Boxes, and So On
Preferably nearly finished. Stories about selling things in anime worlds are fine, and so are stories about selling things in wuxia settings. Male-oriented novels are fine too, but there must be no female lead.
Ancient Chinese Food Stories: Transmigration, Crawfish, Hot Pot, and Beauty Treatments
The Female Lead’s Cooking Is So Good It Makes the Three Kids Next Door Drool
The Protagonist Runs a Restaurant: The Shop Is on the First Floor and the Bedrooms Are Upstairs
There was really delicious chili oil, and a shop that imitated the male lead's. After that, every time someone opened a shop, customers had to announce it in the group chat, and then customers would show up. The male lead, female lead, and their child were on the second floor. I accidentally deleted it from Tomato Novel and can't find it anymore. I'm so upset.
Looking for a Cozy Food Story Where the Female Lead Runs an Inn or a Little Shop
Something like transmigrating into the mother of the male lead in a tragic romance.
Food Stories About Cooking for the Family and Bringing Meals to Court
Are There Any Ancient-Era Novels About Opening a Canteen, Dining Hall, or Something Similar?
Something set in ancient times or a particular historical era, like The Imperial College's Little Canteen.
Heroines Returning to the Countryside to Farm 📚📚 Any Genre
Historical Fantasy Danmei with Two Male Leads, Angsty but with a Happy Ending
I'm looking for a book with several side couples. One couple is a disciple who begs to sleep with the master he loves so he can help cure the master's poison, but is misunderstood and expelled from the sect. Later, he's captured and taken to a place where people are sold. The master learns the truth from the person who drugged him and goes to rescue him. In the end, the master takes care of the disciple for several years before he finally regains consciousness.

So beautiful! 💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love it! It has food, cases, it's not monotonous, it's interesting, and the visuals are great!!
It's written alright, but sometimes I get a little confused and don't quite understand it. [This is just my personal opinion, and may not represent anyone else's.] [Salute]
I really liked the female lead's calm and composed demeanor in the face of adversity; she was quite steady. The food descriptions weren't presented in the usual rote memorization, which was a plus. The story also interspersed scenes of the male lead solving cases, though the crime-solving plots weren't particularly exciting.
It's great! The story combines food and mystery elements throughout, with the male and female leads developing feelings for each other gradually, culminating in a happy ending. While there's a slight melodramatic family reunion element, it's minimal; the focus remains on food. The writing is excellent, and the plot is fantastic! 👍🏻 Definitely worth watching!
If you enjoy this, please update more often! It's been a long time since I've read a story that really suits my taste.
It's great; the descriptions of the dishes are delicious, and the case studies are interesting.
It's pretty good, I recommend watching it. The parallel storylines are actually quite interesting; they intertwine but don't become too deeply entangled. I still prefer watching the female lead build her career. Overall, the flow is very smooth. The low rating is probably because not many people have watched it. 😆
I was reading this in bed late at night, it was so captivating! I was getting hungry and anxious, how did I even get more than halfway through...?
How can such a good book have such a low rating? I haven't even finished reading it yet, but I'm already rushing to give it a perfect score. It's well-written and very enjoyable to read. The more I look at them, the weaker the Dali Temple seems... They're afraid of everyone... Everyone dares to step on them 🤦
How come it's only 6.3? Give me an up!
