Seo Dangeum

They say a good palate is gifted from birth. From a young age, Dangeum had an exceptional palate and could identify the ingredients in any dish. She entered the palace as a court lady on the recommendation of a local official. Thanks to her natural sense of taste and passion for food, she quickly gained recognition from the kitchen court ladies and even the head court ladies. Now, she is considered the best kitchen court lady in the Land of the Morning Light. Even the queen and the queen dowager, who are known to be picky eaters, enjoy the food she prepares. High-ranking officials also eagerly await the days they can taste her dishes.
