About True Cooking Master Boy

The story takes place in 19th century China, during a fictitious era called “The Era of the Cooking Wars”.

It was an era in which top chefs with different cooking styles tried their best to improve their skills and to become the best chef in China.

It was a country where insulting a high-grade chef or experimenting with cooking could lead to imprisonment.

Chefs compete with each other to gain respect and even power, but also with risk losing everything if they are defeated.

The beginning of the story is set in China’s Szechuan, Mao’s birthplace. After the death of Mao’s mother, Pai, who was called the ‘Fairy of Cuisine’, Mao becomes a Super Chef so that he can run his mother’s restaurant.

However, before he takes his mother’s place as Master Chef, he continues to travel around China to learn more about the many ways of cooking, in the hopes of becoming a legendary chef, just like his mother.

During his journey, he meets great friends and fierce rivals who challenge him and help his cooking skills grow.
