In Master Chef, the chef wants his assistants to make recipes that are not pleasant, but worrisome. Why this Michelin-starred chef wants to make food that makes people sad.


Because the sorrow is deeper, we can remember the moment more and cherish it more.
Let the deliciousness of the food dilute these profound, the food becomes more gorgeous and connotative. A truly mature person is active and restrained in the face of sadness. They do not want to be domineering, but rather immerse themselves in the sense of achievement that overcomes their emotions. Overcoming the sadness in my heart is the real pleasure.

Burnt quotes

  • [Adam has been jumped upon by the French mafia]

    Helene: No, you're not *cooking*, Adam. We can handle it, alright. Just tell me quickly, do you want me to baste them in butter?

    Adam Jones: *Slowly*. And then peel and emulsify.

    Tony: Jesus, you're as bad as he is.

  • Dr Rosshilde: Someone told you when you were very small that you were good and the world was good, and everything naturally would be good. And then the serpent served you a bad apple, and for all your bullshit, you can't take bad. Not in a souffle, not in an apple, and crucially, not in a person. Whatever it was or whoever it was in the past, it's time to get on with it. And you can't do this alone. There's strength in needing others .. not weakness.
