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!

Period Drama With a Heroine Who’s Amazing at Cooking
Ideally, the female lead is reborn or transmigrates into a book, and gets rich through cooking. Preferably no kids. I like career-focused female leads who shine on their own!!!

Author, I suggest you eat less these next few days; eating too much will make you sleepy. Sleep less and update as soon as possible. It's so good, I don't want to read any further; I'm afraid I'll reach the crucial point and you still haven't updated. The male and female leads in this book are practically the epitome of period romance novels, and the romance is exceptionally well-written.
This book is amazing! The pacing is perfect, the male and female leads are incredibly intelligent and handle things flawlessly, their special abilities are surprisingly generous, and they're all very endearing. There's also tons of delicious food. It's only a matter of time before it gets low ratings; I predict it will be a hit! 🔥
Personally, I felt the overall writing was quite good. The romance was obvious but not extensive, mainly focusing on the female lead and Hua Hua. The main story ended abruptly with the female lead being kidnapped by spies and then rescued. The male and female leads only officially got together in the epilogue, making the ending feel rather abrupt.
It's really good! It's a little fantasy-themed. At the beginning, Hua Hua had a Henan accent, but later she lost it, haha! It's a very fun food-themed story combined with historical elements and fantasy! There's transmigration and time travel involved.
This score is way too low! The author's writing is good, steady and solid, but it's just too short—not enough! The female lead barely changed locations; she only stayed in Beijing with the male lead for half a month in the finale. I wanted to see the male lead stand up and watch them get married…
It's well-written, but I've read too many mindless (though not really mindless) light novels, so I couldn't concentrate and read it carefully. I skipped around the rest of the time. The feelings between the male and female leads are very deeply hidden, not as obvious as in typical novels.
Having seen the current episodes, the male and female leads are both intelligent and quick-witted, and the food is spicy and delicious, making you want to keep watching.
It's a great read. Even the most amazing things don't give you a heart attack. The food descriptions are very detailed. I love the main character's best friend, Little Flower Baby (Zhi Xue) - a Udumbara flower fairy who helped the female lead a lot and is also incredibly cute!
A very interesting short story. The female protagonist has a truly first-rate personality, and the male and female protagonists aren't written as old as they used to be. It's just right, leaving a lot of room for imagination. They enjoy countless delicacies under the blue sky and white clouds of Southwest China.
Food, period drama, a touch of suspense, a bit of a cheat code, and excellent writing—all these elements combine to create a winning formula.
