The Shen Family Cookbook

Books with Depth That Make Me Think

I'm looking for something with solid logic, not a brainless fluffy romance, with major twists and foreshadowing, and an expansive world.

Foodie Stories, but Not the Kind Where the Characters Work Themselves to Death

Looking for Food-Themed Stories Rated 9.0 or Above, with Upright Values

If there are any set in prehistoric times, that would be even better, something like Transmigrating to the Beast World: A Foraging Journal.

Novels With Food Details 😭😭😭

Looking for Foodie Stories (Street Stalls and Shopkeeping)

Food Novels, No Romance, No Messy Family Drama

Food Stories, Food System, Running a Cafeteria, Opening a Shop, Street Stalls, and Banquet Catering

I'd like to read something like You Opened a Countryside Feast, and Now You're Making the National Banquet Chef Drool. Cooking, with the male or female lead being a chef or food blogger... A food System, opening a restaurant, running a street stall... Everyone around them is a foodie. Someone transmigrates to ancient times, cooks delicious food, and builds a fortune. Modern-day settings are fine too.

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.

Books with Lyrical Prose and a Rich Foundation in Poetry

Beautiful writing that captivates you at a glance is fine, as is something you can savor slowly and chew through piece by piece. I just haven’t found anything like that yet.

Food Fiction with Detailed Descriptions. I’m Starving!

Modern or historical settings are both fine~

Quality Food Fiction About Running a Stall or Opening a Shop

Looking for Food Stories With Braised Intestines and Red-Braised Pork. Ancient or Period Settings Are Fine 😘

Looking for Foodie Novels About Cooking, Snacks, and Restaurants

Preferably something with detailed materials, so it feels more immersive.

Looking for Novels Where Cooking Heals People. Any Genre Is Fine, as Long as There's Cooking

Useful Books About Practical Life Skills

Looking for books similar to "Essential Survival and Life Skills".

Looks Like Reading a Novel, But You're Actually Learning

Looking for books like It Looks Like I'm Reading a Novel, But I'm Actually Studying for the Civil Service Essay Exam. Who can study without going crazy? Learn whenever you get the chance!

Looking for a Pure Food-Focused Story, Please!

No System.

Pure Food Stories! No Romance, No Family, No Meddling! Thanks!

Thanks for all the recommendations. Okay, that's enough, I don't need any more.

Looking for Down-to-Earth Food Novels: A Skilled Chef Serving Affordable Cuisine

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!

Farming, Food, Everyday Family Life, Cozy and Healing

Ancient-Era Food Stories with Few Annoying Characters, Where Every Chapter Is Named After a Dish

I'd like books similar to "Married to a Handsome Carpenter, the Spoiled Wife Gets Rich Through Food".

Are All the Books With Sane Values Gone? The Recommendation Lists Are Full of Sociopaths

Can we get some normal recommendations for once? My standards are low: just decent values and sensible logic. Don’t recommend things like "Criminal Law" or *The Diary of a Madman*…

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.
