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 ~😗

These novels create an excitement around food. When we read about the amazing dishes in light novels, it makes us more interested in cooking. We might be inspired to recreate the dishes we read about, or at least be more adventurous in our own cooking, just like the sense of adventure in 'Toriko' when they search for ingredients can make us more eager to explore different foods in real life.
