    This is a period drama [Sparrow's Divine Cooking], where the protagonist is an incredibly delicious cook, and the book features many dishes, including braised fish fillets, oyster omelets, oil tea soup, braised pork offal, glutinous rice cakes, and twice-cooked pork. Because there are fewer reviewers, the rating is a bit low. It mainly depicts the warm and cozy daily life of the protagonist's family [Added to my bookshelf]. Its strength lies in its excellent depiction of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform), with reasonable prices, meticulous details, and not too many extreme or grotesque elements, making it feel like you're truly living in that era [Already added to my wishlist].
