Cooking in Chinese novels can serve multiple purposes. Some novels use cooking to depict the cultural background. Chinese cuisine is very diverse, and when it's described in novels, it gives readers an idea about the regional differences and traditions. In certain martial arts novels, a hero might find a master chef in a remote place, and the delicious food he gets there could even enhance his martial arts skills in some mysterious ways.
Sure. 'The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!' also has some elements related to cooking. Although it's mainly a comical story about a demon princess in the human world, there are parts where she gets involved with food and cooking, which adds an interesting aspect to the overall plot.
😋I recommend "The Little Chef in the Garden" to you! This novel was an ancient romance, business, and farming novel. It told the story of a foodie, a small farmer, and three generations of shameless officials. After traveling through the mountains, her father passed away and her mother took care of the family. She used her specialty-cooking to earn money to support the family, but this shameless official always "freeloaded" at her house. The story between the two began. The story was light and interesting, and the description of cooking, ingredients, food, and other aspects were meticulous. It was very suitable for readers who liked food. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Another option could be 'Beginner - Friendly Chinese Cooking Novels'. It may have a series of short stories about different aspects of Chinese cooking, such as how to select fresh ingredients at the market, which is an important part of Chinese cooking. And it could also introduce some basic cooking utensils used in Chinese kitchens in an interesting way.
One popular Chinese cooking novel could be 'A Bite of China in Words'. It vividly describes various Chinese cuisines, their origins, and the stories behind them. It's like taking a literary journey through the rich tapestry of Chinese food culture.
I'm not sure if it's a widespread trend. It could be a new concept in some niche literary circles where people are exploring creative ways to handle Chinese novels.
It could mean creating or writing Chinese novels in a very creative and 'cooking - like' way, where you mix different elements such as characters, plots, and settings together just like you mix ingredients while cooking.
Yes, there are. 'The Gourmet' is one such Chinese novel. It focuses on the world of cooking, exploring different recipes, cooking techniques, and the stories behind famous chefs.
