This novel is essentially garbage, or as I call it personally, unhealthy fried food. It is tasty though (Pun intended). We know that this novel follows the story of a young man who transmigrated or reincarnated into a cultivation based world with a system that trains him to become the god of culinary. Although so far we haven't seen a good rival for the main character (Bu Fang), the mouth-watering foods in this novel will still make you drool. Another cool part about this novel is the equipments and tecniques since Bu Fang is a chef, his culinary god system is unique and the rewards it offers are also fun and creative. Other than that, the plot is very repetitive and boring. This is somewhat of a different version of Library of Heaven's Path (LoHP for short), which the difference of the MCs both specializing in different fields- One in essentially everything and one in cooking. One thing I do want to point out is that the novel introduces Bu Fang as a person from Earth who transmigrated into a different world, a world whereby people could cultivate (You can see this from the synopsis so I won't say much). However, I notice that it is becoming a trend in these types of "Isekai" novels to introduce the MCs into another world, despite the irrelevance of the fact that came from Earth. In this novel, the fact that Bu Fang came from Earth doesn't really play a role in what he thinks and does, since he came from Earth, we would expect his way of thinking to be influenced by Earth's culture and thus act and think differently from the others. Although the gimmick of making "Isekai" MCs bring an item to the world they transmigrated into is cliche and overused by now, I'd rather Bu Fang retain and show something that makes him stand out. Most importantly of all, we haven't really heard much about Bu Fang's backstory since we start off with him already being in a different world. Honestly, I would rather he be "non-isekai" than "isekai". Bu Fang is a boring person, we never know what's he thinking because he always remains nonchalant and shows a poker-face. Other than his will-power to withstand the charms of drop-dead gorgeous women and indifference to people of higher statuses, he really does not have anything to boot. Read it if you have nothing else to read. It is a waste of time though, I wouldn't recommend spending spirit stones on this (I did and I regretted it), just read it on another site to byspass the stupid paywall. Gourmet from another world offers you: Feel-good imaginary descriptions of various mouth-watering foods, beautiful women (Stomachs tamed by the Bu Fang), cool equipment and techniques.

True only bad thing is bu fang is dry. Would be better if he showed emotions or something
