Summary
“It seems I’ve inherited a diner.”
“Yes, I knew that.”
“That’s been closed and left to rot for years.”
“I knew that as well.”
“I’ve decided to keep the place. Renovate it, get it running, see where it goes.”
“That is certainly a decision.”
“It gets worse. It seems I’m going into business with Alex Claremont-Diaz.”
Pez is silent for a long moment. “The Alex Claremont-Diaz? The one that has been featured in Food & Wine four times. The one that Carme Ruscalleda and Enrique Olvera have called the next big thing? Your uni sweetheart? The love of your life? The man whose heart you shattered into a million pieces? That Alex Claremont-Diaz?”
“Do you know of another?”

Summary
She was tall, her posture rigid, each line of her striking frame demanding attention even amongst such a sizable crowd. Her midnight-blue hair, twisted into that same tight, immaculate knot, gleaned in the bright morning light. Vi recognized the way her thumb rubbed absentmindedly along the edge of the butcher paper, a nervous tic, unmistakable.
Vi’s heart stuttered in her chest. Every detail and gesture felt achingly familiar, like something she had committed to memory long ago, carved deep into her bones to be remembered, no matter how much time would pass.
Her breath hitched.
Her pulse drummed.
And before she could think better of it, her mouth was already open to speak.
“…Cait?”
OR
After hitting rock-bottom in their careers, former culinary school sweethearts Caitlyn and Vi embark on a cross-Runeterra food truck tour to reignite their passion for food—and, perhaps, each other.

Summary
If Yunlan is going to learn how to make actual food that requires more effort than just boiling water and putting hot water into stuff, he’s going to have to take all the notes.
“Right,” he says to himself. “How hard can it be?”
He watches all twenty-two minutes and fourteen seconds of Chef Shen's video without fast-forwarding. When it comes to an end, he clicks on the replay button.
He ends up taking zero notes, and the only thing he manages to learn from the whole exercise is that Chef Shen -Shen Wei- is really fucking beautiful when he smiles.

Summary
”What does inspire you, Chef?” he dared to ask […].
But then he saw him fixing his posture and put the spoon down, blue sugary glacé staining the inmaculate marble.
He looked to the side, eyeing Satoru’s red smear of blood on his mouth. Gojo flushed in embarrassment, didn’t want him to see indulging into his bad habits.
Yet he didn’t let a word out. Geto just started looking among the flowers he had gathered, undecided about the final garnishment for this dessert. If he considered it exceptional, not just good, but exceptional, then it would’ve made it into the menu.He picked up a red camellia japonica, a few small berries by the side of the same shade. […] Then he saw him nodding slowly to himself, in approval.
“Things that stand out, I guess” he murmured, then looked up at him.
Raw honey melting in water, rust dusting boron blue diamonds.The ‘Blue Spring’ is Chef Geto’s biggest success since his debut in the culinary field. However, he wants way more than a Michelin star. He doesn’t know if he can have it. Sometimes, certain things are too far out of reach, and Chef Gojo Satoru is one of them.

Summary
“Maybe we should have a truce.”
Gerard laughs, a real one, and Frank feels a queasiness that he can’t attribute to anything concrete. “What are we, five? You act like we were Montagues and Capulets. It’s fine, we can try to be friends.”
“Cool.” Frank pauses. “By the way, about the call earlier – Geoff wouldn’t let me fire you. But, like, I hope that can turn out to be a good thing. As much as I hate to admit it…”
He trails off. Gerard raises his eyebrows. “Yes?”
“God, I don’t want to say it. But I guess it’s objectively true that working with you would probably make my book better.”
Gerard laughs again. “It sure as hell can’t make it worse. I did read your manuscript, it’s awful.”
“Hey, okay. I thought we called a truce.”
“For now,” Gerard says lightly.

Summary
Stiles is the engine that runs Doughboy, the chaotic little bakery he built from his late mother’s treasured recipes, but the stress of keeping her memory alive, 16-hour days, 6 days a week, has started to take its toll. To make matters worse, when the town's Chamber of Commerce pressures him into a cooking competition for their latest viral marketing stunt, he’s partnered with the last person he’d ever choose. Derek Hale, the world-traveled trust-fund baby and brooding Gordan Ramsey wannabe.
Derek, a professional chef who's still struggling with the recent passing of his sister, is the last living Hale to uphold a world-class culinary legacy. While returning to Beacon Hills, his childhood hometown, he opens his flagship restaurant, Hales, as an honor to the memory of his late family. But now he's stuck with Stiles Stilinski, the hot mess from the Doughboy bakery, who's stuck in the past and refuses to join the present, as a partner in a viral cooking competition that could make or break his new restaurant's success.
Sparks fly as flour meets foie gras, and their rivalry in the culinary scene threatens to ignite into something far messier, and far more irresistible, than either expected.

Summary
Jimin’s had a few other drinks before this and his cheeks are slowly turning deliciously pink. Jeongguk is reminiscent of Quivira’s rosé.
If he could, he’d drink all of Jimin up.
“If it grows together, it goes together,” Jimin repeats after him. Jeongguk is addicted to the way the words roll off of his tongue.
“We grew up together,” Jeongguk says boldly. “Didn’t we, hyung?”
– They were destined to find each other, over and over again. But it is not always easy, for life is cruel and unfair. Would they recognise one another, after all this time?

Summary
Chef Mydeimos was once known for dishes that could move a man to tears. Then an illness stole his sense of taste, leaving only memory, technique, and a bitterness he can’t shake. He still runs his kitchen with precision, but every plate feels hollow, every praise undeserved.
Enter Phainon—an eager new intern at the hotel restaurant, drawn to the chef’s sharp presence and hidden charm. He can’t figure out why Mydei, brilliant as he is, looks at food with something closer to grief than joy.
In the heat of the line and the quiet moments after service, truth simmers between them. Because sometimes what’s lost cannot be restored—only reimagined, with someone willing to stay by your side.
Maybe love is the solution to all of his problems.

Viktor Nikiforov runs a 5-star restaurant, and Yuuri is the perfect food critic—unassuming, easily overlooked, just your everyman who can get a real evaluation of how a restaurant would treat its customers. Unfortunately, he’s pretty sure that Nikiforov has already figured him out, judging by the way he’s flinging free desserts and spoonfuls of authentic borchst at the Japanese man.

Summary
You can imagine him so well as some ancient king, strangely enough. In repose upon his throne, Laodicean in manner. Legs opened wide, shirt riding up around the hard edges of his torso, just enough that you can see the trails of fine, light hair that sprout from the channels of his stomach.
