emmmm, I am also looking for this novel. It seems that I read it in 2013. I read it as a gift from Tao Zhi Yao Yao. My brother is a chef. His original health is very poor, he is a bit delicate, and he doesn’t like cooking.

The heroine got into a car accident and traveled back in time after becoming the God of Cooking in modern times.

Then the hero and heroine met for the first time in the restaurant where his brother was.

The heroine made egg fried rice for the hero.

Later, the man wanted to recuperate from his injuries or something, so he rented a place to live.

The hostess makes porridge for him, including five kinds of porridge, purple rice, mung beans, pumpkin, etc.

It was during this delivery of porridge that the heroine realized that the hero could not smell pumpkin.

Severely allergic to pumpkin.

Later, a new restaurant opened across from the restaurant, which took away a lot of customers from the restaurant where my brother was. Moreover, everyone would think about it without eating and feel uncomfortable all over.

The heroine went to inquire about it and happened to meet the hero (he heard that this place was famous and came to try it, but he was very disappointed.) The heroine ate the food here and found that it contained poppy, which is addictive and can cause poisoning if eaten for a long time.

So she revealed the truth, and the deceived guests were very angry, and then the heroine got in among them to fight against the injustice.

Probably, the male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist at this time.

Although this incident has passed, the proprietress of the restaurant still decided to sell the restaurant, so my brother lost his job.

The heroine decided to go to Beijing with her brother, and the hero also planned to return to Beijing (mainly because he wanted to go with the heroine and eat her food). He invited the heroine to go with her brother and hired him to cook for him on the way back to Beijing.

vegetable.

The heroine agreed.

Then I made beggar's chicken on the way and met tomatoes.

The setting of this book is that people here don’t know tomatoes and think they are poisonous.

The heroine invites the hero and his men to eat together.

The male protagonist tried it, but his subordinates told him to eat it somewhere else (and ran away) and threw it away.

The main reason is that dead bodies are found next to the tomatoes, so they think they are poisonous.

I don’t remember the rest, and it really took a long time after I watched it.

I hope you can find the name of this book. I searched and couldn't find it. In fact, I also forgot that the heroine's surname was Murong, but I think we are reading the same book.
