No description.

No descriptions, no rating, because I haven't read them! I add them to the official list when I read them with rating & synopsis! But the unread ones were taking up my space, so here they will stay hehe. ... more>>

Curated list by yours truly. All genres, something for everyone. (A lot of Ancient China BG included).... more>>

Recommended novels not on NU- see comments. 

I’ll add comments/reviews for every one of them, but it’ll take me quite a while to get to all of them. 

NOTE: Moving all short stories/oneshots to Rec List “Small Stories, Big Feels” (like check it out, so many gems are like 30-40 chapters only, and their chapters are mostly long) <<less

masterlist of novels that focuses on food, farming & cooking!! (no novels ≤ 3.5☆) <<less

not quite well written enough to make it to my other lists but just comforting (and maybe a lil angsty). m/f or m/m.

Novels with a focus on food, cooking, running a food business or just simply cooking for pleasure full of descriptions to make you drool

I want to read about food. Anyway, I don't care if it's real or fantasy, as long as it sounds tasty, then it's good. I want food to be very important. I want to read about food businesses. I want to read about reactions to sheer deliciousness and comments that praise food to the heavens.... more>>

This list is mostly concerned with food descriptions. Does the food sound tasty? Is food/cooking important? Do people react to the food in a hunger-inspiring way? Is it tasty? Is detail given? Do side characters bite into delicious morsels and wish to ascend to the skies because surely they'll never taste anything better?

I also like business aspects and such, but cooking at home is fine too. Contains het/bl mostly, but this list isn't really concerned with romance. A miscellaneous assortment of novels with some/a lot of focus on food that sounds good. I have other lists for plot. This list is for food.  <<less

I really enjoy novels that are set in ancient china where the MC starts at the bottom and raises to success (and they are farming!) so I'm compiling a list both BL and straight (though a lot of it is BL)... more>>

I'm not a huge fan of court drama or emperor stories, but don't be surprised if you find a few of those on here too! <<less
