This book is…. Interesting. I don’t think this is a good adaptation of Jane austen’s persuasion. Cooking competition doesn’t lend itself quite well to the category of Jane Austen remakes, especially persuasion.  The character growths was pretty good. My biggest gripe is they had a Korean character (Song Jiwoo)- now if you pay attention to Korean naming conventions, they typically write names in the Last Name, First Name order and additionally a lot of the time the first name is two syllables. So essentially what’s happening is the author constantly is referring to the character by last name only.
