Synopsis: Set in a stunning blend of past and present, the story follows Chef Yeon Ji Yeong, a perfectionist French-trained chef at the height of her culinary career, who is unexpectedly transported back in time to the royal palace. There, she is compelled to cook for King Yi Heon, an infamously volatile despot with a killer palate and a lethal temper.
Yeon Ji Yeong is a modern woman engulfed in a world of royal politics, survival food, and surprising love. Her mission? Survive the royal kitchen, win over the impossible King, and perhaps even alter the future.
King Yi Heon is a ruler feared and misunderstood for his keen mind and much sharper tongue. With an unrivaled sense of taste and no tolerance for mediocrity, his court is constantly on the lookout for the next meal. However, when a fiery new chef enters his palace, the king’s taste buds—and perhaps his heart—begin to shift.
