Chapter 274: Geek (5)
Annie felt that even if she reported to Rachel, she would not care much because she would not treat anybody special even if they were gourmets Her motto was she would treat everybody with the best dish and service possible at Rose Island Since she treated everybody equally, she could not treat anyone special at the restaurant
At that moment, Jeina opened her mouth in a calm voice
“Is this also a demi chef’s dish?”
“Yes, Chef Havier has ain?”
The plates before Paul and Jeina were empty at the inally placed on thereen asparagus and ricotta like grass With the crea a white and blue layer, they urt to enjoy it
“This dish was really the best of modernism I would say it has a youthful taste”
“Isn’t it surprising? Chef Rachel had her heyday in the past Yet, even now, she can put the most modern dishes on her menu”
“The recipe idea came from her students”
“That’sthe dishes made by demi-chefs at other restaurants”
“Well, it’s because their dishes were just not good enough I could immediately compare the difference between the dish of the head chef and that of his demi chef at other restaurants”
“But how about here?”
When Paul asked, Jeina let out an exclamation instantly She nodded as if she understood what he was trying to say
“I don’t feel the difference that ood Is this possible because of Rachel’s guidance? Or is it because there are lots of talented demi chefs here?”
“There are a lot of applicants for a job at Rose Island It’s not that difficult to pick a good applicant a them But that’s not the issue Do you think any chef can cook this kind of dish just because they have the talent? I don’t think so Let me ask you this way Do you think that the demi-chefs or sou chefs at the restaurant where you used to be didn’t satisfy you or their dishes were different from the head chef’s because they were not talented?”
“Well, that’s a difficult question As you knohat I’ood at is to review the food, not the chefs”
“I think it’s Chef Rachel’s unique personality As for her cooking skills, she ht not be the best chef in the world But in terms of the ability to lead her kitchen staff and teach them, I think she is the best”
His statement was so definitive that she found it hard to believe it was speculative
So, she asked curiously, “Do you happen to know Chef Rachel?”
Paul reh It wasn’t because he focused on the servers cleaning up the plates and putting do plates He didn’t say anything even after they changed all the plates
The next dish was based on Rachel’s recipe Cannelloni made with smoked oysters and lobster jelly, oysters wrapped in cauliflower cream A crunchy mini waffle with oyster cream soup coated with lemon emulsion and fruit flavor and steamed oysters finely chopped with herbs When Annie left after explaining about the ingredients and the recipeat the plate with quite a regretful expression
“Daniel really liked this kind of dish In other words, he loved a dish that could express several flavors at once with just one ingredient Coiano is definitely one such dish Maybe Rachel must have been quite surprised like me when she examined his dish for approval because she could find her ex-husband’s cooking style in Min-joon’s dishes I knohy people are saying openly he is Rachel’s successor”
Actually, his statement like that was his answer to Jeina’s question just before
She said in a slightly subdued voice, “It’s a very bad romance for a coincidence”
“Well, I would say it is not a coincidence but fate”
Paul lifted a spoon with a smile He spooned out the creareasy for a crea fruity aroma of the emulsion wrapped on it rather than the flavor of the milk, and when he chewed the thinly sliced oysters, it tasted like the rown in the sea without any fishy s This is the taste I’vethe dish, Paul could not understand why he felt like he was enjoying the same dish that his late mother hadmoments as if he just opened his eyes in decades
She loomy voice, “But you can’t come here for 3 years”
“I know But this is the place you have to co you can’t co to focus on eating as much as possible, so I can re said that, she scooped out a spoonful of soup and put it into her htly She felt like she would be drifting away in the tidal wave of taste
‘Well, Paul says it tastes the same as before, but it has a richer flavor because Rachelevery mouthful Each and every e in her life
Was it because of that? Jeina and Paul ate very slowly Although ourmets ate slowly, Paul and Jeina kept the table until the last custo for the dessert, the last of their course
“This is the Cho Reggiano that you ordered additionally He cooked Pariano of different, the two raised the fork with lots of anticipation In fact, they were full Although they controlled their eating speed, it was always difficult to finish all the ue ca at a restaurant was fun, but at the sah to finish it all
“What is this?”
Jeina looked quite confused Every time she put the dessert in her e expression
Paul asked with a smile, “It looks like you now appreciate its taste”
