The Prince's Kitchen Maid

Stir-fry, slide-fry, deep-fry, wok-fry, and flash-fry

Pan-fry, braise, sear, simmer, and roast

Braise, boil, crisp, stew, and hotpot

Steam, stuff, poach, stew, and simmer

Bake, roast, smoke, stir-fry, pickle, and drunken-marinate

Caramelize, honey-glaze, slow-cook, and ferment

The food of the four corners of the world: nothing beats a bowl of everyday warmth.

This is really just a story about a cold and ruthless young prince and a pretty cook with a wicked heart.

Reader advisory: A slow burn, fairly modern vocabulary, simple writing style, an alternate-world food-and-everyday-life story, with countless inventions for the sake of the plot. No need to tell me if you drop it.

Completed historical transmigration novels: The Crown Princess Has Her Hands Full, Fourth Master Yitian and His Second-Ranked Princess Consort, Have You Eaten Today?

Completed period novels: Stepmother (Transmigration), The Remarried Couple of the 1960s, and many more. See my profile for more.
