When they got back to the kitchen, it had the same awkward atmosphere as the garden. It could only be like that regardless of the mission. Because if it wasn't a mission which they were proficient in like steak, it was difficult for them.

However, Joseph's theme had an easier point compared to Alan's.

"You are paella?"

Jo Minjoon asked with a hopeless face. Chloe nodded and replied.

"Yes. I was also surprised. I never thought that a spanish dish would appear."

After she talked like that, she let out a sigh. However Jo Minjoon was rather envious of her. Because at least, you could make paella without cheese.

He did make risotto at times, but it didn't suit it that well. Maybe because it was a dish that was basically mixed with cheese. It wasn't that he didn't like it. He couldn't digest it well. Didn't he get a stomachache right before the preliminaries eating risotto?

Even if he could make an edible risotto, he wasn't confident in making a perfect one.
Because he couldn't even cook risotto al dente. Excluding expensive restaurants, they all served disastrous risottos. Maybe, it could be to suit their tastes, but the rice grains were usually fully cooked and crushed.

Because he had lived eating those kinds of risottos, he couldn't get a model example of risotto. Even so, the reason he didn't feel despair was because he had the strength of the system. Because when he was designing the recipe, if there was an awkward point, it would be seen through the estimated score.

The time to design the recipe was 10 minutes. Jo Minjoon designed the recipe many times in his head. He put in sea mussel, bacon, and thought of many things that could go well with risotto.

But it wasn't easy. They were mostly 5 points, and the ones he thought was good were only 6 points.
'Am I not doing the designing correctly? Or the score also takes into account how much I know about risotto......'

He felt frustrated. Because in the meantime he was thinking like that, the time was still flowing.

But Jo Minjoon wasn't the only one to be troubled about designing the menu. Kaya, and Carlos were the same. Kaya didn't eat a risotto like risotto in her whole life. Precisely speaking, there was only once. Alan's risotto she had tried just now.

Kaya just looked at the empty table in front of her. Actually, she was drawing the picture of herself making risotto in that place. She combined different ingredients, but she could only think of one recipe that was good enough. Only......

"Bring the ingredients! You have to complete your dish in 1 hour!"

There wasn't more time be thinking. Jo Minjoon moved his step. It wasn't a perfect recipe, but he was attracted to one. It was a risotto made by using Italy's representing ham, prosciutto, and a ripe pear.

The cheese he was going to use was the parmigiano and reggiano Alan had used. The meaning of the name was simple. Cheese from the region of Parma. This cheese originated in Italy, Parma, was better known as parmesan cheese in Korea. But were two completely different things. Parmesan cheese was a combination of parmigiano, reggiano and other things. Saying that the two of them were the same was like saying that pure gold was the same as mixed steel.

And the rice was also the same as Alan's. Arborio rice. It was the most suitable rice when making risotto. This kind of rice was short in length, so the rice grains were hard and had great elasticity. It could be said that this ingredient had great synergy when combined with other ingredients.
