The Hidden Pantry

Stir-frying, pan-frying, deep-frying; steaming, boiling, stewing, roasting; oven-baking, grilling, braising, searing; flash-frying, quick-frying, hot-pot cooking, and simmering. Ingredients, heat, and seasonings begin their wonderful alchemy. My dancing taste buds record the flavor of the love between you and me. The ups and downs of human relationships, the myriad facets of life, are all like the delicious dishes on the table: only after enduring hardship can they become truly delicious. Of all things in this world, only good food and love should never be let down. Main couple: a delinquent female Japanese-cuisine chef and a naturally resilient working girl. Several side couples too, both yuri and yaoi, brimming with passion. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ [Read This Before You Begin] ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 1. This is a one-on-one romance, in the author's usual sweet, indulgent style. Besides the main couple, there are quite a few side couples, both straight and GL. 2. This is a cozy, sweet slice-of-life story, focusing mainly on work and everyday life. 3. This is a food novel. The dishes described are mainly Japanese cuisine, with Chinese cuisine as a secondary focus. It also includes quite a bit about Japanese customs and culture. Please read rationally.
