Gourmet: From the Start, I Grind My Knife Skills to Mastery

I skimmed through Chapter 8 and didn't find the mother's name (maybe I missed it). The mother is portrayed as an incredibly skilled cook. In Chapter 8, when Fatty was collecting rent, after remembering the noodles the mother made and the time limit, Fatty would either refer to Lin Dapao as "your wife" or the protagonist as "your mother."

By chapter thirteen, I was certain this was the book I wanted. The younger sister's character is unconventional, without the stereotypical coquettishness or affected affectation. The protagonist is very composed, and the younger sister inherited her father's personality—a bit of a firecracker, stubborn but soft-hearted.

The characters are well-developed, the scene descriptions are vivid, the writing is delicate and detailed, it's a great story with excellent writing, and the plot is very tight. The parts are interesting, and the parts are deeply moving. A little spoiler: a small packet of dried chili peppers wrapped in a newspaper from 19?? (I forget which year) almost moved me, a grown man!

It's written very realistically, and the characters are vividly portrayed. The only downside is the rushed ending; I thought it would be a long story. It leaves you with a sense of loss after finishing it—it's over! 😢😢😢😢

It's captivating; the gentle, soothing atmosphere is very comfortable to watch. It's simple yet beautiful, perfect for watching in one sitting. Regarding the plot, it unfolds almost like a series of dishes, and like many food novels, it also features inheritance scenarios, many of which are very well described.

This is truly amazing. Compared to other food novels, the system deserves a huge credit. The protagonist has a foundation from his past life, and he grinds every day. The system's cheat-like tutorials are also something the protagonist learns through his own hard work. Moreover, the food descriptions have a unique flavor.

It's rare to see a food article that focuses solely on culinary skills. There are no extravagantly priced dishes, no apprenticeships, no competitions, just the comforting warmth of everyday life. The old-school chef's dedication and perseverance in pursuing excellence in skill and character are vividly portrayed, along with the stubborn father and the rebellious, fiery Sichuan girl. I especially love it! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

It's really good, a very heartwarming food-themed novel. There aren't any major plot devices, the characters are well-developed, and the emotions are delicate. It's just that the rating doesn't do it justice; it should easily be 9.2 Or higher. It's been a long time since I've read a book that I could actually finish.

Having read the current sixty chapters, it's great! The plot is very heartwarming, the characters are well-developed and likable, each with their own distinct traits, and the food isn't exaggerated or overly magical. The protagonist's gradual improvement through practice is very satisfying.

A beautifully written food story, full of emotion and wonderfully developed characters, it's a shame it ended so abruptly... After reading it, I really want to eat spicy chicken, mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, and sweet and sour pork. The author truly has a passion for Sichuan cuisine! 🤭
