Cooking, in Elena's opinion, is an art no less than magic.
Different from the simple and crude way of eating ingredients that most species have, human civilization has begun to try to process ingredients a long time ago, looking for ways and methods to make food more palatable, better-looking, and more nutritious.
Relying on the memories of food deep in her soul, it is impossible for the conventional vegetables growing in the Hogwarts vegetable garden to cause any difficulties to Elena - as long as they are edible within the normal range, usually
It can be processed by roasting, boiling, steaming, frying, stir-frying, cold dressing, grinding into sauce...
What does it mean to be a gourmet at the top of the food chain? If she can't handle even this small scene, Elena won't have the confidence and energy to extend her claws into the wider world of magical animals and magical plants.
Of course, Elena is not in a hurry right now. After all, she has not been able to fully inspire the Hogwarts students' desire for delicious food. If she jumps out too early, she is likely to provoke some more difficult magic.
Small animal protection.
If the spicy old carrot is allowed to seize the opportunity to join forces again, her future potential will be much smaller.
Only when the food culture wave of Hogwarts rolls around is the best time for her to really show her talents - as the saying goes, even the top wizard in the world cannot stop everyone from eating.
no?
At the same time, Hermione and Hannah were huddled around the long Hufflepuff table, whispering quietly as they watched Elena beside her fall back into her usual state of idle giggles.
"What should we do? If this trend continues, let's not talk about other houses. We will try so many weird dishes every day. We will definitely gain weight! Especially the dishes from Slytherin today.
Style, it’s really terrible, coriander and durian, why do such devilish plants exist in this world!”
As Elena's royal taster, Hermione and Hannah had already tasted all the new dishes that the college would eat today in the kitchen before breakfast started today.
Of course, these include not only the delicious and beautiful small stoves in the faculty seats, but also the terrifying dark dishes such as charcoal-grilled durian and coriander egg pancakes that are now displayed on the Slytherin table...
Faced with those horrible-smelling foods, Hermione once planned to escape, but before she could turn around, Elena, who had entered the "Hell Chef" state, grabbed her arm and force-fed the indescribable food.
of bad existence.
You know, as a foodie who was starved to death once in her previous life, Elena will not be merciful even if she is facing her own two wings. Any behavior of wasting food will only start a "hell-like" situation.
Feeding PLAY.
"But Hermione, I don't hate eating coriander and durian?" Hannah shrugged.
Hermione's face froze, and she suddenly remembered that Hannah later finished all the durian and coriander egg pancakes that she had not finished.
"...That's because you haven't realized how unpalatable they are yet. The problem now is not that, but that we should unite and dissuade Elena when necessary, and don't let her act in the kitchen.
"
"Granger, the two of us alone cannot control Elena."
Hannah patted Hermione's head calmly and said seriously, "Have you forgotten her performance on the court at the weekend? Once she enters the kitchen, it is her territory. Unless there is a dish that both of us feel comfortable with.
It tastes bad, otherwise Elena would always be right."
"No, I still think this is unreasonable."
Hermione shook her head and continued to struggle to convince Hannah, "Elena is the chef, so why can she be considered one of the judges? These dishes were originally made according to her ideas..."
"But there is no one else except us." Hannah said helplessly.
"How about you go ask Elena and see if there is anyone in Slytherin or Ravenclaw who can be approved by Elena?"
According to the agreement between Dumbledore and Elena, in order to ensure fairness and objectivity, there can only be at most one young wizard from each college who has the right to sign and taste dishes.
This is also to avoid the situation where one college makes unconscionable comments against other colleges.
However, Elena's small food tasting team currently only has two people.
Considering the weird plants in Slytherin House and the fact that Ravenclaws are all fruits, it is barely acceptable to the professors - at least it has reached the minimum number of people who can complete the voting.
"That's right. The main reason is that there is no one else. As a proud person as Elena, she will not want too many people with little connection to enter the kitchen and point fingers."
Hermione nodded and didn't insist any further.
After all, although Hermione had reservations about some of the dishes made by Elena, overall, as one of the biggest vested interests, she didn't have much to complain about.
You know, the dining standards she is enjoying now are on the same level as Hufflepuff House.
The comparison may not be so obvious at breakfast, but starting from lunch, the style of Hufflepuff House is very different - Beef Wellington, Caesar Salad, Borscht, Braised Beef, Pan-fried Dragonite, Clear
Fried okra…
No matter how you look at it, it's much better to eat a big meal than Gryffindor's potatoes.
And on the other hand, although Elena has always acted carefree, she seems to be able to talk to everyone, and she doesn't have any arrogance.
But even the smarter little wizards can see that it is not easy to truly enter the small group recognized by Elena Kaslana.
Not only Elena, but also Hermione and Hannah also have a hint of pride in their hearts.
This is why Hannah must join the freshman Quidditch team, and why Hermione sits down and reads a book whenever she has time. In addition to their talent, they have to work harder than ordinary people to barely keep up with Erin.
Na's footsteps.
Of course, in the eyes of most young wizards, even if Elena is not considered, the other two eldest sisters are stars that are out of reach.
While the two girls were whispering, it was time for the owl messenger's email.
After experiencing the swarm of owls on the first day of school and the bombardment of howling letters last week, it is difficult for the hundreds of owls to suddenly fly into the auditorium every day, causing any visual and psychological impact.
However, this morning was a little special, because the food reserves that disappeared for a weekend suddenly came back, and they also brought Elena a big thick envelope.
There is no doubt that this is a reply from the Lovegood family. Judging from the handwriting, it was still copied by little Luna herself.
"It's finally here, the new issue of "The Quibbler" that I've been waiting for so long..."
Elena came back to her senses, casually tore off a piece of fish meat and handed it to her round-faced little chubby chicken as a reward. She couldn't wait to open the large envelope wrapped in thick parchment that she brought with her food reserves.
"Hermione, Hannah, come and take a look...our articles about the Magical Era have been published."
