I can not remember much but I remember some scenes 

so at one point the female lead wants to work at a restaurant and competes with another girl and the female lead wins
there passed a nobleman and the people left him to choose what dish was better and then gave the winner some symbol

Then she was brought by a consort or the empress at the palace to cook for some feast and she chose riddles for every kind of food

And once when she was in the forest and some men were hunting she was almost bitten by dogs

I think that this drama is a chinese one...
