"Bon Appetite Your Majesty" is a million miles from the kind of series, I'd typically watch. That's why even I'm surprised to say this is the "perfect recipe", for quality viewing. A great story that feels like a blend of historical drama, with a "Masterchef" vibe, where the notion of "keeping your head" during the heat of competition, can be taken literally. Evolving from this is a light hearted, often amusing, romance, that's quite endearing. In summary, for someone like myself, a middle aged guy to recommend this series, gives you some insight into how uniquely "good" it is. Take a look and see if you agree.
