Chapter 1236 Craving
Penelope could not help but feel frantic internally.
Among all the skills she had, only her cooking skills were presentable. How else will I be of a match to Arielle if I’m inferior to her in cooking skills too?
Nonetheless, she dispelled that thought at once.
Good knife skills aren’t equivalent to good cooking skills. Ultimately, the most critical component of cooking is still the taste. I’m confident that I can grasp that better than a spoilt brat like Arielle, who has never done any household chores! She will never be able to make her food taste better than mine!
While Penelope was in a turmoil of emotions, Arielle remained composed as she continued cleaning the snapper.
She placed her knife behind the snapper’s pectoral fin and cut through the backbone to separate the head from its spine.
Next, she changed the angle of the knife, slapped the fish lightly with the knife’s surface to flatten it, and sliced it along the two sides of the snapper’s spine to the tail end.
Penelope was clueless that there were so many details and steps to preparing a snapper before making a grilled fish.
She reckoned that Arielle going to such lengths was nothing but a grandiose show to show her skills off.
Subsequently, Arielle chopped off the snapper’s backbone, removed any pin bones on the fish, cleaned it thoroughly, and stuffed some herbs into its cavity before turning on the grill.
She was particular with the temperature of the grill as any slight difference would impact the final taste of the dish.
A mere moment later, she reached out her hand to about two centimeters above the grill to gauge its heat.
Following that, Arielle held up the snapper’s head with one hand and its tail with tongs and carefully put it onto the grill.
A slight crackling sound resonated the entire kitchen, surprisingly pleasing to the ears.
