The Imperial Chef: From Scullery to State Banquet

Shen Yan spent four years scrubbing pots in the imperial kitchens of Great Zhou — until one dish, served at the wrong moment to the wrong prince, pulled him into the deadliest room in the empire: the table where politics is eaten. In this court, a dish can save a life, poison a faction, or crown a chef. From kitchen drudge to the master of the state banquet, every chapter is a course in a feast of wit, flavor, and power. A complete 100-chapter culinary court drama. Chinese edition; English translation in progress.
