Rachel paused for athem quietly, then said in a small voice

“They are too timid”

<hr />

At the venue of the Paris International Cooking Contest

‘Please…’

Havier clenched his fist firmly None of the competitions he had taken part in until now had made him more tense and nervous than this one because he racked his brain to come up with this recipe Of course, it didn’t es to like his dish

‘I hope our adventurous dish can ies’

He looked at the dish that he and Janet nocchia sauce of kale, avocado, spinach, and white wine on top of escargot baked with butter, and then sprinkling tuna eggs separately

In fact, the recipe itself was not extraordinary enough to call it adventurous But there was only one reason the pair wanted to describe it as adventurous Nanocchi

In fact, the pair was not in charge of pasta at Rose Island, so they didn’t have nocchi Nevertheless, the reason they chose gnocchi this ti of all the recipes they thought of

“Well, gnocchi is really a dish that varies in taste, depending on who makes it Are you confident?”

“Yes, we’re confident”

Even before Havier replied, Janet replied with a confident voice Her confident ansas rather elanced at Janet for a lance, her eyes were calht she was cool, but at the same time, he was a bit worried

‘I wonder how they can feel it…’

Of course, the pair tasted it, and it was delicious But it was always difficult for a chef to check his own dish perfectly, except for such an exceptional chef like Min-joon or Kaya There was a reason for a chef to ask another to check his or her own dish

Now, one of the judges said, “In soot dish resenocchi does not dull the taste of the escargot but enhances it”

“I’m definitely positive it will,” Janet responded in a firm voice

She really believed it should enhance the taste This was a contest where she should not lose to anybody She didn’t want to go back to Los Angeles miserable as the first of the Rose Island teams who failed in the quarterfinals She couldn’t suffer that humiliation because of her pride

In fact, she found the current situation very strange She thought she could beat any chef in co, and she really wanted to beat those who tried to look down on woht she could even after she got here But she never expected that she met so many competitors here ere as competent as her in this contest

But Janet did not regret her choice to join Rose Island She thought if she lacked some skills, she couldon that principle And now she wanted to confires started tasting the dish Watching theot in their mouths, Janet slowly checked their expressions But she couldn’t read anything from their blank expressions She tried to look calm, but she crouched toes

At last, Norris said, “How nocchi have you made until now?”

“I made it whenever I had a chance Sometimes when I wanted to eat it, I cooked it myself”

“Thatit at a restaurant for ht”

“Well, cooking is always honest It sho the chef made it or how much effort the chef put into it to develop such skills Of course, you two are chefs with good basic skills And the recipe was also great The escargots were roasted properly, and the balance of the sauce and its conocchi itself didn’t taste good enough I would say it was just a plain delicious dish”

She wanted to argue that a plain dish was good, but she could not She bit her lips

Watching her nervous, Norris said, “This recipe itself ht?”

“Maybe so”

“But I don’t think it’s an adventure that you have made boldly”

When he said that, she looked at him, rather puzzled She understood he evaluated the dish However, she could not understand that he could evaluate their feelings like courage reflected in this dish In fact, Janet and Havier had to ponder over the recipe for a long tinocchi

But Norris said fire because it was never easy to choose a dish that you have not yet e You were nervous because you didn’t choose a recipe that you were not confident about In other words, you had no confidence When you don’t have confidence, can you pluck up courage? Does it make any sense?”

“That’s because…”

Janet tried to refute hi to say because Norris was right

Norris opened his mouth

“I hope you can cook what you believe in because if the chef can’t trust himself, no customers can trust such a chef”

Janet’s scales tilted She tried to be bold, but she got tie turned into her escape, and her pride fell, along with her hope in this contest
