I’m a Culinary Heretic: My Recipes Make Immortals Weep and Ghosts Drool

[Gourmet] [System] [Superpowers] [Supernatural] [Leveling-Up]

Graduating straight into unemployment, Lu You, a culinary school graduate who can’t find a job, goes home and inherits his grandfather’s run-down little restaurant.

The night before it opens, two customers show up, demanding stir-fried pork kidneys in the middle of the night.

Holy crap! They’re none other than... Black and White Impermanence!

Lu You is scared half to death. Later, he learns that this little restaurant is actually an underworld waystation in the human world.

He is the newly appointed [Ghost Chef].

Then he sees a letter from his grandfather saying this is a curse!

Lu You: ...!

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you are now bound to the [Yin-Yang Cookbook System]!”

From then on, Lu You cooks for food lovers in the human world by day and prepares special meals for the underworld at night.

In the world of the living, one serving of [Crispy Belt Fish] has diners packed shoulder to shoulder at the door, while food critics beg in tears to take some home, even traveling from other cities.

One serving of [Chicken Wings with Fermented Bean Curd] has Michelin-starred chefs begging to collaborate.

One serving of [Fragrant Braised Beef] leaves the chairman of a publicly traded company teary-eyed.

In the underworld, a bowl of [Soul-Soothing Porridge] gets wronged spirits to speak,

while a cup of [Vision-Enhancing Tea] helps a beautiful policewoman crack one strange case after another!

A pork knuckle stew made in a [Underworld Cold-Iron Pot] even calms a fire-eating demon long enough to identify the murderer!

As strange cases in the human world intertwine with turmoil in the underworld, Lu You discovers that the spatula in his hand can do more than cook delicacies for the three realms. It can also judge good and evil and turn the tide of fate!

He accepts the curse!
