Synopsis

Ye Jiayao is a young and talented cook who dreams of becoming a renowned chef one day. As luck would have it, she's magically transported back in time to Imperial China, and in the body of an extremely useless girl. Ye Jiayao is immediately kidnapped and held for ransom, but she manages to use her wits (and her sense of humor) to get whatever she wants.

Good sides:

Culinary and shokugeki will help anyone to wait for other cooking anime to get new season

In other word this anime is quite a time kill

Negative side:|

She's has no money or resources, and somehow always can just waltz into a fully stocked kitchen and do her magic, for reasons.

The budget put into animation quality and graphical quality is pretty self explanatory, too bad the source material holds the art back.

Art & Sound 8/10

Writing 2/10
Really just nothing much in the writing at all. The first arc is ...
