Chefs Kiss

Ritsuka Izumi dies before she can ever hang her own sign over a restaurant door. On her forty-first birthday, the chef who carried other men’s careers on her plates is betrayed over one last “special” dinner. The next time her eyes open and Tokyo is gone. Ritsuka wakes in another body on a distant island duchy, in a world of patrons, relics, and a simmering holy war. Her new name is Julia Wynnee, only daughter of Savora’s ruling duchess, heir to a sunlit sea state rich in gold and monsters, starving for food and stability. She doesn’t care about thrones, prophecies, or playing savior. All Ritsuka wants is what was stolen from her: a kitchen of her own, a dining room full of honest mouths, a restaurant with her name on the door. If that dream now sits in the middle of a fragile duchy and a brewing holy war, she’ll grit her teeth and survive long enough to open the doors. WEEKLY UPLOADS M/W/F
