Tastefully Yours Episode 6 recap: With Yeon-joo gone, the restaurant spins into chaos

Netflix's latest K-drama, Tastefully Yours, returned to our screens on May 26, 2025, with Episode 6 titled 'Jungjae Manual.' Now that Beom-woo has made his feelings known to Yeon-joo, he's waiting for her to love him back.

However, things have already been messed up following the arrival of Le Murir's CEO Jeon-min, who also happens to be Yeon-joo's ex-boyfriend. The two dated for almost three years, and Jeon-min has returned to take her back to Sapporo.

Tastefully Yours Episode 6 begins with the same conversation between Yeon-joo and Beom-woo after their first date. After revealing her past, Yeon-joo also tells him that Jeon-min wants her back at the French restaurant.

When asked if she would go, Yeon-joo says, "Why would I go? Our restaurant's doing so well," which relieves Beom-woo, who has been restless since Jeon-min stepped into their lives.

Later that night, Beom-woo cannot stop thinking about their current situation, while Yeon-joo gets a call from Jeon-min. He tells her that Chef Tatsuo is very ill and that this might be her last time to see him.

The next morning, Myeon-suk and Chun-seong are eagerly waiting for Beom-woo to come. It looks like something huge is about to go down. So, what really happened?

Tastefully Yours Episode 6 recap: Yeon-joo jets off to Sapporo with Jeon-min

In Episode 6 of Tastefully Yours, Myeong-suk and Chun-seong are shocked to learn that Yeon-joo has left for Sapporo on such short notice. When Beom-woo arrives at Jungjae, he's also startled to learn that the chef has actually departed along with Jeon-min.

Yeon-joo left behind a note, in which she mentioned that something urgent has come up, so she needs the three to take over Junjae for some time. She apologized for the short note and even wrote to Beom-woo that he must wait until she contacts him.

Yeon-joo ends her note with a simple drawing of an earthenware pot — a quiet clue that she has hidden something inside one of them. Once they begin the search, Chun-seong uncovers what seems to be a detailed guidebook, packed with Yeon-joo’s handwritten notes.

Turns out, it's the 'Jungjae Manual,' Yeon-jo has left behind for her team to refer to. She has mentioned almost every rule. From Beom-woo being banned from smoking near the restaurant to asking Chun-seong to always wash his hands after being in the garden.

As they continue reading the manual, Chun-seong asks how many more are there. Surprisingly, there are several pages in the manual that end with rule no. 135, to which Myeon-suk says, "This means she doesn't trust her."

Turns out, it's none other than Jeon-min, the CEO and head chef of Le Murir. Yeon-hye calls Beom-woo and breaks the news. While she's unaware of what's happening at Jungjae and between him and Yeon-joo, Beom-woo is shocked to learn that Jeon-min will compete against his restaurant.
