Culinary Stories

In a world divided by fire and philosophy, two civilisations have mastered the art of cooking - but never spoken the same language. In the East, Food Adepts cultivate inner energy through knife, flame, and breath. A perfectly sliced cut can heal a wound. A broth simmered for three days can break a man's curse. In the West, Culinamancers weave culinary magic through ritual, emotion, and forbidden ingredients. One wrong pinch of spice can collapse an empire. They have coexisted in silence. Until a young chef from the Eastern borderlands stumbles into a Western culinary tournament - and wins using techniques nobody in the West has ever seen. Now both worlds want him. Some to learn from him. Some to destroy him. Every dish is a battle. Every flame tells a story. Every bite changes the world. - Ocean Fung

In a world where strength is everything, the fallen Azure Sky Clan was destroyed and its heirs hunted to extinction. Li Tianyu, the last young master, survives with a single inheritance-the Heavenly Culinary Dao, a legendary art of cooking that nourishes the body, strengthens the soul, and echoes the will of the heavens. Armed with unmatched culinary talent and the wisdom of his ancestors, Tianyu embarks on a journey to resurrect his clan, collect the Heavenly Culinary Keys, and uncover the truth behind their destruction. But as he rises, ancient secrets awaken. A terrifying hunger imprisoned for millennia stirs beneath the Phoenix Valley. Powerful forces move in the shadows. And a young chef must decide whether to cook for revenge... or to cook for a better future.

Retke's life runs on small, reliable rituals. Morning cola. Errands. The television left on so the silence has somewhere to go. Then a pamphlet finds its way into his pocket, and a group of quiet, pale, impossibly composed people begins appearing at the edges of his days. They speak softly about compassion. About purity. About waiting for the right thing before you consume it. They are not what they appear to be. Cannibula Rasa is a slow-burn psychological horror about ideology as seduction, appetite as philosophy, and the moment a man realises the world he thought he understood has been quietly replaced by something else.

A human chef, Shouichi Takeru (male OC), was struck by misfortune several times. His wife and daughter died from mysterious disease, the villagers feared him because of unproven curse, and his restaurant hit the rock bottom.

What kind of challenge await them? Note : even though the main story is complete, if you have any suggests or ideas for the next chapter (or even part), just drop it on comment.

This is a collection of recipes and reminiscences from over sixty years of boating and cooking aboard. A large part of my inspiration comes from visiting eighty-five countries and experiencing their cuisines. Though I have no professional training, I was an instructor in a major culinary school in the mid-1980s.

Ever since I first saw the episode of the Kirby anime, Cooking Up Trouble! I always wondered to myself how things would have been different if Meta Knight entered the cooking competition Dedede was hosting after Blade and Sword convinced him his cooking was beyond compare. So, I wrote this story based on how I think those events would have played out in the anime setting.

The fog of Baguio hides many things - unfinished dreams, unpaid bills, almost-confessions... and one struggling restaurant fighting to stay alive. Amara thought opening Igorota Gastropub would finally prove that Cordilleran cuisine deserved a place in the modern food scene. Instead, she's drowning in staff shortages, failing marketing gimmicks, slow business days, and customers who think "exposure" can pay rent. Then Nico arrives - quiet, frustratingly calm, and annoyingly good in the kitchen. As the restaurant struggles to survive in the competitive food scene of Baguio City, Amara and her chaotic team try everything: disastrous food reels, weekend markets, smoky pop-ups, questionable social media trends, and recipes built on equal parts passion and panic. Between burnt sauces, mountain fog, and glasses of Tapuey, Amara begins to realize that success isn't just about going viral - it's about finding people willing to stay when the fire gets difficult to hold. Warm, funny, and full of Cordilleran flavor, this is a story about food, love, ambition, and the slow burn of building something worth coming home to. *This is set on a gastropub on Session Road (Punchy Palate Gastropub), my go-to Cordilleran restaurant. Their curated menu, very innovative and spot on for an elevated dining, and the cozy vibe of the restaurant make it a must visit when in Baguio.

Two completely different worlds. One unresolved past. Elio lives in a world of high-octane precision, cold steel, and the relentless speed of the modern city-a man who shapes chrome to anchor his present and forget his past. Giasemi is bound to the ancient rhythms of the Mediterranean, rooted in the rough plaster, terracotta, and timeless heritage of an ancestral olive grove. They have spent two decades living separate lives on opposite sides of the world, built on a foundation of unspoken words. But some roots run too deep to outrun, and some connections refuse to fade. When their two worlds finally collide, the contrast between the machine and the land forces a quiet, powerful reckoning. A sophisticated, slow-burn contemporary romance about memory, craft, and the ultimate pull of home.
