Gale and Enna are both running away from their pasts, but when instead they run headlong into each other, an attraction quickly develops and threatens to derail both of their careers. As chefs Enna and Gale are no strangers to balancing hunger and satisfaction, obsession and apathy, indulgence and sacrifice, success and failure. But when those things start to bleed from their professional lives and into their personal lives, the smitten chefs must determine if they can handle the heat or need to get out of the kitchen.
A sexy, sensual, modern AU. Bon appétit.

Summary
Sherlock threw his head back and yawned, “So—he’s already here.”
Opening the door with his second key, Sherlock’s eyes snapped shut due to the sudden rush of light; squinting them, he placed the side of his hand to his forehead to block it out.
“Listen, if you’re gonna be up this late, at least turn on the sublights. It’s two a.m. and no one—” Sherlock’s eyes fully opened to the blonde man standing in front of him, who wore an obviously old sleeping outfit, “Shit.”
William’s eyes widened, then went back to their resting position.
“How do you know my address?”
It still didn’t fully process in Sherlock’s mind; he was like a cartoon character with a loading sign above in his head,Or, Sherlock and William are rival chefs who happen to accidentally become flat mates

Summary
Smoke starts to fill the kitchen as Donghyuk drags the sizzling saucepan over to the sink, dousing it in water. No matter how many times he tries to teach himself to cook, he never gets any better. He looks down at the open cookbook on the counter. The pages are splattered with sauces and spices, the mess sitting in the sink not quite matching the picture in the book. He slams it shut and shoves it in a drawer. His mother insists that if he just keeps practicing, he’ll eventually get the hang of it. Ten years of trying later, he’s convinced he’s a lost cause. He looks over at the steaming pan now soaking in his kitchen sink and scowls. He’ll just order a damn pizza.
---------------------
There it is, the email from his mother.
Just give it a try honey, what do you have to lose? Love you!

Summary
On the outside a land of sweetness, and in its inner corners a land of strife, that was Totto Land.
A land where the sea held sugar and color like taxes, where smell had become a way to taste without opening one's mouth, where sweets were made a form of currency that berries could never rival. where cooks were valued not for their ability to blend the flavour of pristine meats with the delicate touch of well blended broth and vegetables, but their ability to bake. Yes, judged based on plumpness of an over or undercooked muffin, the technique in which they spread the icing on a cake, how well they blended the mixture between egg and flour, that was what made or broke a cook in Totto land.
Your ability as a cook decides your standing and treatment. If you were disliked you were lucky enough not to know the taste of your blood on your own tongue. To experience the consequences that came after angering an Emperor of the sea. If you were skilled well beyond measure, there was a chance you'd get noticed, and one day given opportunity. One of the biggest there was.
To become a Star.

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.
