The Shen Family Cookbook

Useful Books About Practical Life Skills

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

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!!!

Looking for Foodie Stories (Street Stalls and Shopkeeping)

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!

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.

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!

Farming, Food, Everyday Family Life, Cozy and Healing

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

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

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 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.

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*…

I Need Ancient-Era Food and Farming Novels!

Looking for stories where the heroine transmigrates to ancient times, cooks, and builds a prosperous life. CP or no CP is fine. Not too many awful characters, and the male lead shouldn’t have too high a status. No palace intrigue, please. Great writing and airtight logic are a must.

Period-Era Novels About Chefs and Food, Anything but Siheyuan

Good Food-Themed Stories

Food-focused novels, male-oriented.

Food Novels, No Romance, No Messy Family Drama

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

Food Fiction with Detailed Descriptions. I’m Starving!

Modern or historical settings are both fine~

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.

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!

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*.

Quality Food Fiction About Running a Stall or Opening a Shop

Ancient-Era Food Novels: The Female Lead Is an Amazing Cook and Opens Her Own Restaurant!!!!

Looking for Easy, Bedtime Reads

Looking for books similar to *My Food Stall’s Location Changes Randomly, and Customers Chase Me for Meals (Random Food Stall)*. Easygoing, funny novels that don’t make you think too hard, with no scheming or villains. Something to listen to while eating or falling asleep.
