Chapter 424 Peak 2-Star Chef

?

Pantry, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

After inspecting all the seafood and ingredients that Sylph bought, Theo had to change his cooking plans for the party.

As Sylph bought a wide variety of high-end ingredients, he wanted to put together a stellar dinner for everyone.

That's why he pulled up a notepad and started writing ideas of what to cook.

His cooking skill was no longer what was when he started cooking.

[Chef of the Gods Skill (2500/5000): You have the ability to transform simple dishes into food revered by the gods.]

This was the skill that Theo received when he was studying cooking techniques to open his restaurant. And it was with this skill that he was able to elevate his cooking mastery that made it possible for his restaurant to achieve such high success.

At the moment, Theo was halfway through the mastery of this skill. As it was an overpowered skill, it was extremely difficult to increase his mastery of it. Theo only was able to achieve so much because he worked every night at the restaurant. Commanding and cooking in a professional kitchen helped him accumulate experience in these past months.

It may seem that Theo was slow to only achieve half mastery of the skill, but if we look from a different perspective we see a completely different situation. When Theo opened the restaurant, the skill had (0/5000), and with that Theo already gained enough skill to call himself an Aether 1-star Chef (Michelin 1-star). 

A restaurant that received a star from Aether Magazine was able to become renowned without any difficulties as this represented that the chef that commanded this restaurant was someone who could be recognized by his/her high cooking skills. Therefore, we can see that Theo's cooking skill was already so high when the mastery of the skill was only at (0/5000).

Now that he was at (2500/5000), Theo had the skill of a peak 2-star Aether Chef!

That's right!

In a few months, Theo did something others would take their whole lives to achieve. As it was very common to see restaurants only achieving 1-star and never achieving 2-stars.

It was an incredible feat that he was able to achieve.

This meant that his restaurant would have no problems getting a star from Aether Magazine if they were evaluated by them. But Theo didn't care much about it, as he hadn't even applied for the restaurant to be evaluated.

His only concern was that he had reached a bottleneck in his cooking skill.

It seemed that if he wanted to break through to become a 3-star chef, he had to do something else other than work at the restaurant.

All of this explanation was to understand Theo's mind as he brainstormed ideas for the dishes he would cook for the party.

Imagine a 2-star chef cooking an entire meal for a party, it was a crazy thought as these chefs were famous and extremely busy. But Theo didn't care much that he could become famous for his cooking. He just wanted to cook ever tastier dishes.

His passion for cooking was due to his desire to cook delicious food for his loved ones, and he could see this passion in his eyes as he brainstormed ideas for the banquet.

After 10 minutes of struggling to find the best combination of dishes, he finally arrived at the best he could think of.

After planning the best way of cooking the dishes he chose, he did not waste any more time as he started taking the ingredients out of the pantry.

He would start with the dishes that had the most lengthy and complicated preparation.

As the Sakura Abode Country was a mix of two clans and two traditions. Until the current time, there were various ways to commemorate the New Year.

The Yamato traditional food was the Osechi.

Osechi is a traditional New Year's assortment in that each piece is symbolically supposed to represent something. There are so many components to Osechi, and it varies so much depending on who has prepared it.

While the Pendragon traditional dishes were homemade pies and roasted fish.

But the common thing between the two cultures was that they both had seafood or fish dishes.

Therefore, even if some people tended to one culture, they would still eat a fish in the new year.

Even though Theo lived in the cities that spoke English, Theo did not plan to limit himself when cooking dinner.

He planned to cook a dinner that had a mixture of cultures.

Pendragon, Yamato, Spanish, Italian, and even French.

That's right!

Theo planned to cook some dishes from his past life that he found the perfect fit for this holiday that worshiped the sea.

All of this meant that Theo had a lengthy work ahead of him before he finished cooking everything, but he was happy with it as he wanted to cook the best for Aurora and his friends.

Just like that, Theo started his cooking journey by preparing all kinds of pasta and dough he would need, as they would need to rest before getting into other preparations.

Time passed by, and he didn't even notice it as he was entirely focused on cooking with his best skill.

It seemed like he was in a trance as his eyes shone while his hands skillfully handled all the preparations.

He didn't even hesitate as he used his knife skills to cut all the vegetables into perfect sizes. His hands moved so fast that if someone watch it, they would fear that he would lose a finger if he was not careful. But he didn't even flinch while handling the sharp knife speedily next to his hands.

He only woke up from his trance when he heard Sylph's voice.

"Master!" She called.

"What's up?" He replied without lifting his head.

"Sam, Sayuri, June, Kimiko, and Shoko just arrived at the gate. Should I let them in?" Sylph asked.

It was only then that Theo lifted his head from the pot in front of him, "Oh, already?" He said in surprise as he looked at the clock at the side of the kitchen.

[3:36 PM]

"Is it so late already?" He mumbled in surprise, he hadn't even felt the time passing by as he focused on cooking.

"Yes, open the gate for them." Theo replied out loud.

"Okay, master." Sylph replied in a lively voice.

As the girls came through a car app ride, they took longer to arrive at the house as they had to walk a little to take the elevator up the hill.

It was only 10 minutes later, that he heard a ruffle of sounds coming from the hall.

The elevator would stop, so Theo wasn't surprised by the sounds.

Just like expected, shortly later, six girls entered the room making a lot of noise.

Theo smiled at that before he turned his head to greet them.
