I Reincarnated as a Michelin Chef

Gus ran one of Lyon's best kitchens. He also hadn't slept properly in three years, hadn't called his mother in six months, and had just screamed at a nineteen-year-old commis for burning a sauce during the most important service of the year. When he walks out into the Lyon night and falls into another world, he expects monsters, a prophecy, maybe a sword. What he gets is grey gruel and boiled meat. Gormandia is a prosperous kingdom — castles, magic, ancient forests — where a catastrophe five centuries ago wiped out nearly every herb, spice, and reason to look forward to dinner. Nobody mourns it. They never knew what they were missing. Gus is taken in by Caréme, a tired innkeeper who cooks out of duty and hasn't felt joy at a table since her husband died. He has no mana, no combat skills, no destiny. What he has is knife technique, a palate sharpened over fifteen years, and a desperate need to do the one thing that still makes him feel human. So he lights the fire. And he starts cooking. No chosen one arc. No world-ending threat. Just a burned-out chef rediscovering why food matters — one bowl, one village, one quietly changed life at a time. ****************************************** |TAGS: #Isekai Slice of Life #Cooking #No System #No Cheat #Ability #Found Family Slow #Romance Slow Burn #Female Lead. # Hardworking #Protagonist Character Growth Low Fantasy #Magic #Food Medieval #Kingdom Building #Redemption Arc Anti-Hero Becomes Good Cozy #Non-Action #Adult Protagonist

The Cube Queen's Apocalypse Feast

#NoCP #PlayingPig (This novel is one of my favorites. I’ve gone back and reread it about 5–6 times now.) Jing Shu has seen the end of the world, and it’s literally a storm of epic proportions, and she’s been given the ultimate do-over: a ten-year rewind. Thrown back in time to just two months before everything goes to hell, she has one mission: to make her apocalypse as comfortable as possible. Forget just surviving. While others are scrambling for canned beans, Jing Shu is building a fortified sanctuary, raising soon-to-be-extinct poultry for gourmet meals, and cultivating a garden of forgotten veggies. Armed with a mysterious evolving cube that grants her a private pocket dimension and a magical spirit spring water, she’s set to ride out the disaster in style. But what’s the point of living like a queen if you can’t enjoy a little revenge? The apocalypse is about to get a serious upgrade in style, and Jing Shu can’t wait for her enemies to see what they’re missing. Let them hear the sizzle of her steak and smell the aroma of her barbecue. Their despair is just the seasoning she needs. In a world where humanity itself is changing, mutating into powerful "New Humans" fused with the chaos, Jing Shu is ready to evolve right along with them. She’s got her cube, her spring, and a plan. The storm is coming, and she has a front-row seat. === English Original Title:《I'm planting a field in the end times》 (Note: Title adapted for tone and readability while preserving the story’s core themes.)
