    Xu Kangping acquired many ingredients in the Dungeon Dining world. However, there were two ingredients he had never cooked before. This was entirely to maximize their utilization. For someone with a Gourmet's Cell, the first taste of a new ingredient yields the greatest benefits. Moreover, the more delicious the new ingredient is cooked, the greater the benefits. The White Dragon and the Phoenix were arguably the highest-grade ingredients he obtained in the Dungeon Dining world. Xu Kangping naturally wanted to reap the rich rewards, but he lacked confidence in cooking these two ingredients well. For example, the White Dragon meat was snow-white. Even after the White Dragon's death, its body still emitted a faint chill. The cut meat was the same. Under these circumstances, cooking the White Dragon meat wouldn't be easy. At least Xu Kangping had no idea how to cook a piece of meat that emitted such chilling energy. As for the Phoenix, it was an ingredient suited to his Gourmet's Cell. Although its cooking difficulty wasn't as high as the White Dragon meat...

    The first book features a female lead, Shi Yi, who has retired from the entertainment industry. If you find the first few episodes featuring male celebrities off-screen, you can skip them; the later episodes are free. It's a no-romance (no romantic pairing) food-themed adventure game with random stalls. The second and third books are also no-romance. The fourth book features a female lead, Su Wan, who teaches children how to cook; it's also no-romance.

    Highly rated food review 🌈 Changhuan Restaurant originally only sold breakfast items like steamed buns, pan-fried dumplings, and wontons. However, due to the owner's excellent cooking skills, it became a popular spot for adults, leading to the addition of other dishes such as braised pork ribs with dried bamboo shoots, Dongpo pork, stir-fried liver tips, Sichuan-style diced rabbit meat, shredded chicken in sour sauce, shepherd's purse salad, and tofu skin with wood ear mushrooms.
