Devil's Planet, Devil Empire Capital, Royal Dining Hall, 10:00 a.m.
Morgana who was greater than all the others, known as the most beautiful and the most gorgeous Goddess in the universe, she dressed in new white silk long gown with intricate pattern and gold lace, with white angel's wings, holy light and the queen's crown, looking upon David who's the chief of royal chef and the best devil cuisine chef.
"Hello, David! Cooking Contest aims at electing the new yearly chief of royal chef, and also aims at encouraging cross-cultural cuisine communication. It's not about ranking which kind of cuisine is the best, but it's about developing cuisine by cross-cultural cuisine communication. So here's my question. What kind of diet are you gonna cook?"
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, announced the purposes of Cooking Contest, and inquired David what kind of diet he was gonna cook. She used to eat dragon steak, but she changed her diet, since dragons honored her as the queen. It's well-known that devil cuisine chefs were good at cooking steak, and David was the best devil cuisine.
'I'm grateful for having David to be the chief of royal chef, because David have prepared my daily luncheon with loyalty. I'm grateful for having sufficient food, because it's sufficient food that makes sure there's no hunger in the world. I'm grateful for having luncheon, because having luncheon is a kind of gustatory enjoyment.'
David who was the chief of royal chef that prepared the queen's daily luncheon, known as the best devil cuisine chef in Devil Empire Capital, he dressed in devil chef's uniform with white outfit and white hat, with devil's wings, devil's horns and devil's gentlemanlike manners, facing upon the queen.
"Your majesty! Permit me cook you a classic phoenix steak! Here's cooking classic phoenix steak recipe. Prepare time is 5 minutes, cook time is 30 minutes, bring roast to room temperature is 5 minutes, and total time is 40 minutes."
David said in a tone of awe, telling the queen what he was gonna cook was a classic phoenix steak, and the cooking time was about 40 minutes. The reason why he chose to cook classic phoenix steak, was because he who had prepared the queen's daily luncheon in everyday, would know what's the queen's favorite diet.
'Eating is a kind of gustatory enjoyment. One who has breakfast, lunch and dinner, would enjoy the gustatory enjoyment three times in everyday. The foodie's gustatory enjoyment is the chef's spiritual satisfaction. One who brings gustatory enjoyment to the foodie, would feel happier for foodie's happiness.'
Morgana was the queen of United Empires of Darkness who was greater than all the others, and in additional of that she was also a foodie who haf tasted thousands of variety of diets. As a foodie who had tasted thousands of variety of diets, she could tell whether the diet was good or not, and discuss with the chef about the diet.
"The first step to cook a classic phoenix steak is to prepare ingredients. Ingredients are essential for a chef, because even the best chef could cook nothing without any ingredients. May you please tell me what kind of ingredients you are gonna prepare for cooking classic phoenix steak?"
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, inquiring David what kind of ingredients he was gonna prepare for cooking classic phoenix steak. She knew the ingredients of classic phoenix steak were probably phoenix steak and sauce. But she didn't know what the ingredients of classic phoenix steak exactly were.
'Even the best chef could cook nothing without any ingredients. If there's some ingredients for a chef, the ingredients would be an exquisite and delicious diet. If there's nothing for a chef, even the best chef who knows diet better than all the others, could cook nothing without any ingredients.'
David sommoned the ingredients that were required for cooking classic phoenix steak from David's Kitchen. There were 3 pounds boneless phoenix meat taken from phoenix's prime rib, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 8 slivers garlic, salt and pepper. And in additional of that there's red wine and 1 tablespoon cornstarch for the gravy.
"Your majesty! These are the ingredients for cooking classic phoenix steak. There are 3 pounds boneless phoenix meat taken from phoenix's prime rib, 1 tablespoon extra virgin oliver oil, 8 slivers garlic, salt and pepper. And in additional of that there's red wine and 1 tablespoon cornstarch for the gravy."
David replied respectfully, telling the queen about the ingredients for cooking classic phoenix steak and the ingredients for the gravy. The reason why there's so less ingredients for cooking classic phoenix steak, was because there's no need to prepare many ingredients for an expensive phoenix meat.
'There's no need to prepare many ingredients for an expensive phoenix meat. Cheap ingredients by themselves are just cheap ingredients, phoenix meat by itself is just a phoenix meat, but cheap ingredients and phoenix meat together would be a classic phoenix steak.'
Morgana often enjoyed luncheon with brilliant people at Royal Dining Hall in everyday, she saw the exquisite and delicious food on the table, but she saw no trace of the chef. She knew the reason why David was avoiding from her, was because David was not gonna disturb the luncheon with her guests.
"I often enjoy luncheon with brilliant people at Royal Dining Hall in everyday. Each time I visit Royal Dining Hall, you have prepared the exquisite and delicious luncheon. I have luncheon in everyday, but I haven't ever seen how could you could such an exquisite and delicious food. Do you mind if I just watch your cooking process?"
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, expressing her request to watch David's cooking process. The reason why she expressed her request to watch David's cooking process, was because she didn't want to miss her opportunity to learn her cooking lessons from David who's known as the best devil cuisine chef in Devil Empire Capital.
'How could I possibly miss my opportunity to learn my cooking lessons from David who's known as the best devil cuisine chef in Devil Empire Capital. I would like to watch David's cooking process, to feel his delight, sorrow, mercy, kindness and love. If I could learn something from my cooking lessons, I would feel little happier.'
Each time Davil prepared the queen's luncheon for the queen and the queen's guests, he would lay the exquisite and delicious on the table, and leave the private space for the queen and the queen's guests. He didn't mean to avoid from the queen, because he was just not gonna disturb the queen and the queen's guests.
"Never mind! There are nine cooking processes for cooking classic phoenix steak. They are salt the phoenix meat and let it come to room temperature, control fire to 375 degree, insert slivers of garlic into the phoenix meat, rub the phoenix meat with oliver oil, then season, put the phoenix meat at right position, brown at 375 degree, then lower the heat to 225 degree, Roast to an internal temperature of 135 degree for medium rare phoenix meat, make the gravy as the phoenix meat cooks to medium well, and slice and serve."
David replied with gentlemanlike manners, telling the queen about nine cooking processes for cooking classic phoenix steak. He had cooked classic phoenix steak for hundreds of times, knowing all he needed to do was stick to nine cooking processes for cooking classic phoenix steak.
'All I need to do is stick to nine cooking processes for cooking classic phoenix steak. If I stick to nine cooking processes for cooking classic phoenix steak, I would cook the same classic phoenix steak as usual. If I don't stick to nine cooking processes, what kind of phoenix steak I'm gonna cook? I'm gonna cook better, or I'm gonna cook worse. The risk isn't worthy to take.'
Before David began cooking, he came to the chef's cooking table, turned on water tap, and washed his hands from dust. He wore on chef's white gloves, took a deep breath, and devoted himself in cooking with his whole heart. He checked the ingredients, checking if the ingredients were sufficient and qualified.
He held with 3 pounds phoenix meat on his right hand, feeling if the phoenix meat's temperature came to room temperature. He grasped some salts in his left palm, sprinkling all sides of phoenix meat with salt. He sommoned devil's fire on his right palm, controling devil's fire to 375 degree.
He inserted slivers of garlic into the phoenix meat, putting a sliver of garlic to each cut. He rubbed olive oil all over the phoenix meat, sprinkling it all around with salt and pepper. He put the phoenix meat at the right position, roasting all over the phoenix meat. He browned at 375 degree and then lowered the heat to 225 degree.
He roasted to an internal temperature of 135 degree for medium rare phoenix meat. He added some red wine and cornstarch for the gravy, as the phoenix meat was medium well. He sliced the phoenix meat into classic phoenix steak, laid a slice of classic phoenix steak on the plate, and served to the queen.
Morgana witnessed nine processes for cooking classic phoenix steak, and witnessed David's skillful cooking stills. She sat the round table, looking unto the classic phoenix steak. Her right hand held with a knife, and her left hand held with a fork. She sliced a slice of classic phoenix steak, tasting it with gustatory enjoyment.
"Thank you for cooking me such an exquisite and delicious classic phoenix steak. At the moment when the classic phoenix steak is medium well, it's the most delicious and the most juicy classic phoenix steak. Your score is 9.97."
Morgana tasted the classic phoenix steak, judging David's classic phoenix steak. She enjoyed tasting the classic phoenix steak, but she would keep the queen's elegance, and taste the classic phoenix steak with ladylike manners.
'Eating is kind of gustatory enjoyment. One who eats breakfast, lunch and dinner, would enjoy the gustatory enjoyment three times in everyday. As everyone eats something in everyday, everyone is gonna enjoy the gustatory enjoyment in everyday.'
