    Sisters, food novels should be read without a romantic pairing. Once there's a male lead, the focus easily shifts. We're not here to read about the female lead fawning over the male lead while he ignores her, or to read any novel where the female lead revolves around the male lead. Those aren't food novels. Food without romance is the most delicious!

    The female lead truly used her culinary skills to not only change the male lead's personality but also her own tragic fate as a transmigrated female supporting character. Watching so many of the food preparation processes made my mouth water. I really love the female lead's fresh and elegant temperament; she uses food to get closer to you, yet maintains a proper distance in your relationship. The male lead is cunning and gloomy, suffers from stomach problems and is extremely thin; it's only after the female lead gradually fattens him up that he falls for her.
