Kang Hae-rin is the most celebrated royal chef of the Hwarin Dynasty, honored by the king as the "Chef Goddess." Just as she reaches the peak of her career, she suddenly dies and wakes up in modern-day Kommera 100 years later. Armed with her old wooden rice paddle and worn pots, she becomes a kitchen helper at the failing Cheong-dam-jae Restaurant. As everyone mocks her, the legendary chef uses ancient recipes to transform modern cuisine and save the restaurant.
