Summary
When Enna Peregoy begins her new job as sous chef de cuisine at one of Baldur’s Gate’s hottest new fine dining establishments she has one goal in mind: do NOT let down Executive Chef Gale Dekarios, the world-renowned chef and restaurateur whose career and tumultuous personal life she’s admired and followed for years. Gale and Enna are both running away from their pasts, but when instead they run headlong into each other, an attraction quickly develops and threatens to derail both of their careers. As chefs Enna and Gale are no strangers to balancing hunger and satisfaction, obsession and apathy, indulgence and sacrifice, success and failure. But when those things start to bleed from their professional lives and into their personal lives, the smitten chefs must determine if they can handle the heat or need to get out of the kitchen.
A sexy, sensual, modern AU. Bon appétit.

Summary
He looks more like he belongs on a runway than in ZeroBase’s postage stamp-sized kitchen. Tailored black slacks match his perfectly pressed button-down shirt, as dark as the dolsot clay pots at their highest temperature from being heated directly over the open flame of the stove. A shock of red hair as bright and waxy as a ripe apple is curled artfully over his forehead, drawing attention to the sharpness of his eyes lined by a perfect wing. Silver earrings dangle from both of his ears, and Gyuvin notices a tiny beauty mark under one of his eyes shaped like a sesame seed.
The mystery man makes a deep bow of greeting to Hanbin, nearly 90 degrees if Gyuvin suddenly pulled out a protractor to measure it. “My name is Shen Ricky, please take care of me. I’m grateful to join your team as a trainee chef.”
Or, the one where Gyuvin doesn't understand why a model would suddenly want to change careers to become a chef, and Ricky shows him that the recipe to happiness doesn't always follow the book.
(Even if a few eggs have to get cracked along the way to get there.)

Summary
Powder is the newest recruit at Piltover's most prestigious restaurant, The Hexgate. Unfortunately, she spends her shifts cleaning forks and cutting vegetables instead of cooking glamourous dishes.

[Kitchen/Restaurant timebomb AU very loosely inspired by tv series The Bear.]

Summary
In a quiet seaside town, reclusive chef Kang Haerin runs a hidden six-table restaurant, speaking only through the meals she serves. Her world is silent, controlled-until a mysterious woman begins showing up at exactly 3:15 p.m. each day, always alone, always ordering the same dish.
Haerin becomes quietly fascinated. She starts tailoring the meal just for her-adjusting it based on the weather, the woman's expression, the softest signs of stress-until one night, the woman brings a date. As Haerin's hands tremble in the kitchen, she realizes just how much she cares.
And the next time the woman returns alone, Haerin finally gathers the courage to confess:
"I make every meal for you. Just you."

Summary
You can imagine him so well as some ancient king, strangely enough. In repose upon his throne, Laodicean in manner. Legs opened wide, shirt riding up around the hard edges of his torso, just enough that you can see the trails of fine, light hair that sprout from the channels of his stomach.

Summary
For #ShucaWeek2025 Day 7 - Free Day
The clang of pans, the hiss of oil, and the sharp chorus of knives striking cutting boards filled the kitchen of Éclat de Minuit. Friday night. The kind of service that either sharpened you into a diamond or ground you to dust.
“Table twelve, two scallops, one steak, one bouillabaisse. Move!” Vox’s voice thundered across the kitchen.
“Yes, chef!” came the chorus, sharp and automatic.At the fish station, Shu Yamino was already in motion, knife flashing like silver lightning. Each cut through the salmon fillet was precise, clean, almost reverent. His indigo-accented apron stayed spotless despite the chaos.
“Yamino-kun~.”
The booming voice came from the next station over. Luca Kaneshiro, sleeves rolled up, apron smeared with what looked like at least three different sauces. His pan roared with flames as he seared a cut of venison.

Summary
Stiles is the engine that runs Doughboy, the chaotic little bakery he built from his late mother’s treasured recipes, but the stress of keeping her memory alive, 16-hour days, 6 days a week, has started to take its toll. To make matters worse, when the town's Chamber of Commerce pressures him into a cooking competition for their latest viral marketing stunt, he’s partnered with the last person he’d ever choose. Derek Hale, the world-traveled trust-fund baby and brooding Gordan Ramsey wannabe.
Derek, a professional chef who's still struggling with the recent passing of his sister, is the last living Hale to uphold a world-class culinary legacy. While returning to Beacon Hills, his childhood hometown, he opens his flagship restaurant, Hales, as an honor to the memory of his late family. But now he's stuck with Stiles Stilinski, the hot mess from the Doughboy bakery, who's stuck in the past and refuses to join the present, as a partner in a viral cooking competition that could make or break his new restaurant's success.
Sparks fly as flour meets foie gras, and their rivalry in the culinary scene threatens to ignite into something far messier, and far more irresistible, than either expected.

As of this year, the legendary celebrity chef resigned from his position, expressing a desire to return to his home country after passing down the successful restaurant to close friends in the industry.
