Lin Yi, a modern three-star Michelin chef, accidentally traveled to Chang'an City during the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Being penniless, he could only start from the bottom of the restaurant as a busboy. With his unique understanding of ingredients and modern cooking techniques, he has gradually established a foothold in the catering industry in Chang'an City. However, the lack of seasonings, rudimentary cooking utensils, and completely different eating habits in the Tang Dynasty made every step of his journey full of challenges. From street shops to palace banquets, from being questioned to being recognized, Lin Yi has written a real and legendary journey to become a chef with innovative yet authentic dishes.
