Cooking Master Boy - S01

The story is set in 19th century China during the Qing Dynasty, when the Emperor was weakened and the country was close to chaos. It also takes place in a fictitious era called "The Era of the Cooking Wars," when top chefs with different cooking styles did their best to improve their skills and become the best chef in China. In this country, insulting a high-grade chef or fooling around with cooking could land a person in jail, and impersonating a top chef is as good as usurping authority. Chefs compete with each other to gain respect and even power, but they also risk losing everything. China has four major regions: Beijing, Szechuan, Shanghai, and Guangdong. The beginning of the story takes place in Szechuan, Mao's birthplace. After the death of Mao's mother, Pai, who was called the "Fairy of Cuisine," Mao becomes a Super Chef in order to take the title of Master Chef at his mother's restaurant. However, before he takes his mother's place as Master Chef, he continues to travel China to learn more of the many ways of cooking, hoping to become a legendary chef just like his mother. During his journey, he meets great friends and fierce rivals who wish to challenge him in the field of cooking.
