The Little Ancient-Era Chef

Back in ancient times, what can a young woman like me do? I'm not particularly fond of business or farming, but circumstances force me into it. I don't like fighting, either, but circumstances force that on me too. Dowager empress, empress, crown princess? No thanks, stay out of my way. Food is what matters to the people. I just want to make dishes like fish-fragrant shredded pork, shredded pork with green peppers, and sweet-and-sour ribs. They taste so good!
