She couldn't help the admiration she felt towards him at that time. “And what are you making today?" Grace suddenly asked, her curiosity piqued. Dante looked over his shoulder at her, a sly smile on his lips. “You'll see. But if you must know, it's a special dish–Pasta alla Norma.

Halfway through, the contestant next to me—a tall guy with a buzz cut and a tattoo of a whisk on his forearm—leaned over, wiping sweat from his brow. “Hey, you got any curry powder? Mine’s gone missing, and this tagine needs a kick.” I glanced up, my knife pausing mid-chop on a bell pepper. “Curry? For tagine—bold move.
