Shen Yan, a master imperial chef of the Northern Wei, possesses peerless culinary skill. He is a master of palace cuisine lost for a thousand years, as well as Shanxi's intangible cultural heritage and its signature Jin-style cooking techniques. Amid the turmoil of a chaotic age, unwilling to let his skills fade into obscurity, he withdrew into the Yungang Grottoes and lodged his lingering soul inside a bronze heirloom kettle. There he lay dormant for a thousand years, waiting for the right moment.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. The sleeping ancient kettle suddenly awakened, and Shen Yan unexpectedly bound himself to the Myriad Realms Food Deification System! Within the timeworn bronze kettle lay a secret realm of its own, able to store spiritual ingredients from mountains and seas and stockpile rare foods from countless worlds. Every plant and tree from the myriad realms, every immortal or demonic essence, every rare interstellar treasure could go into his kitchen and be turned into an exquisite dish.
From then on, the world gained a thousand-year-old God of Cuisine who cultivated the Dao through cooking and saved the world through flavor.
His fire never dies, and with a turn of his spoon he shapes the tides of fate. Building on ancient Northern Wei cooking techniques, he brings together the warmth of Chinese hearths and the flavors of countless worlds. A secret realm's demonic beasts are raging with bloodlust? A bowl of savory medicinal soup washes away their demonic nature and saves them all. Ancient immortals and gods are arrogant and conceited? One banquet of authentic Jin-style home cooking wins over all the immortals and Buddhas of the myriad realms. The greatest talents of interstellar cuisine compete? With a casual snack from the common folk, he outclasses countless peerless delicacies.
With culinary skills unmatched across past and present, and a bronze kettle that contains a world of wonders, Shen Yan travels through fantastical secret realms, interstellar galaxies, primordial lands, and worlds of gods and demons. He meets evil with a blazing fire and comforts the good with fine food. His hilarious rise to success is a thrill from start to finish, while the warmth of everyday life reaches across the myriad realms.
From an unknown street cook in the Yungang Grottoes to the first God of Cuisine across the myriad realms, renowned through the ages.
Standing with ladle in hand, Shen Yan smiles at the vastness of the myriad realms: Nothing moves the heart like the warmth of everyday life. All living things can become a dish. To roam the myriad realms, all you need is a kettle and a kitchen!
A good book "Yungang God of Cookery: Eat All the Heavens in One Pot" is a comedy online article that combines Yungang Grotto culture, intangible cultural heritage cuisine and the fantasy of the heavens. It is rooted in the background of Yungang, Shanxi Province. It takes "food to break the rules and cooking skills to prove the truth" as the core, connecting the fireworks world and the vast heavens. The protagonist Yunzhe is originally an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage food at the foot of the Yungang Grottoes, and is proficient in the lost ancient cuisine of the Northern Wei Dynasty and folk skills. Accidentally activating the ancestral copper pot unexpectedly unlocked the God of Cookery system of the heavens and bound a gluttonous cub named "Fan Pian". The copper pot contains a cave restaurant, which can breed spiritual plants and tame spiritual beasts. It can also connect to all realms and unlock rare ingredients and lost recipes from the interstellar, immortal, demonic, prehistoric and other planes. From vegetarian noodles from Yungang Grottoes to spiritual fruit soup from the ancient fairy world; from alien cuisine from interstellar civilizations to rare game from the secret realm of the demon world, Yunzhe uses a spatula as a blade and ingredients as a medium to collide and fuse Shanxi's intangible cultural heritage cuisine with the flavors of all worlds. A bowl of shaved noodles tame the ancient ferocious beast, a pot of Datong Shaomai resolves disputes among immortals, and a plate of Pingyao beef attracts big bosses from all over the world to queue up for food. He opened the "Yungang Restaurant" in the heavens to resolve grievances and forge romantic relationships with delicious food. While collecting twelve god-level recipes scattered across the heavens, he uncovered the ancient foodway secrets hidden in the Yungang Grottoes. When all the worlds are chasing the martial arts to ascend, Yunzhe only relies on a spoon and a cauldron to go from a market stall to the god of food in the heavens, making the delicious food of Yungang spread to all worlds, interpreting the legend of "the fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of the world, and a spoonful of delicious food can settle the heavens".
