My Lady Chef novel Chapter 31

Ely's POV:

I finished placing the special bread I am making on the new oven that was constructed just for me.

It was a wood fire oven that traps UV rays and with a special petalite plate that concentrates the flavor and texture of the bread.

I had constructed the diagram from memory when I had the builder make it and I will be testing to see if the flatbread cooks well.

I had Linda prep the vegetables for the stew I was planning for a test stew for lunch. She is really showing promise and has an instinct in knowing what I need.

Lisa, Beatrice, and Charles were of great help as well. I learned that Lisa's family owns a herb farm so I asked if she can clean the abandoned hot house nearby and tasked her with readying the herb garden with the errand boy's help.

Beatrice has an eye for fresh meat so I made sure that whenever I need beef, pork, or chicken; I send her with Linda when shopping since I have been busier ever since I got permission from my husband to do whatever I can to make the culinary house fit my desired creative space.

Last night's dinner of Lamb Stew and Spicy Rice made me crave Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine.

The chef seems to know his flavors and spices well. The meat was also tender and melted in my mouth while the rice had the right amount of flavor and heat that went well with the spicy stew.

I promised my husband a breakfast treat after he left to train with Capt. Niles. He also seems like he was in a good mood ever since we both agreed to make a true marriage out of our previous deal.

I blushed at the lewd things he did to me and how my body could not seem to get enough of his hands, lips, and voice.

The feel of his huge, muscled body against my own as we made love early in the morning more than once. He was bigger than all the guys I slept with but he knows how to use it well and he did prepare me before he impaled me.

It felt so good that I was melting...he was smoking hot. Even with my experience; I still feel myself turning red at how he could keep going without turning flaccid.

Even after that, my body cannot help but yearn for his touch and his kisses. I had to wear a high neck gown today because his teeth and hickey marks were littered all over my pale flesh.

He was gentle and rough as I remembered how he spilled himself inside me so much that I felt his cum dripping out of me when we left the bed. Even now after a long soak and some vigorous scrubbing; I can still feel him inside my body.

Is this what one would call being very body compatible with your lover?

It must be. Because the act of making love with Ezran was just so good. I have never felt that way with my previous lovers when I was a celebrity chef on Earth.

"Milady. The skillet is hot."Linda told me as just finished grabbing the spices I need from the spice rack.

"Great. Please watch the bread in the oven and call me if it starts puffing up." I instructed her on using the handle of the long breadboard to take it out and flip it into the basket without burning herself.

As I left Linda to the task, I concentrated on making Shakshuka and Kofta.

Originating from North Africa, I ate this unique egg dish during my trip to the Middle East. There were varieties with spam or meat but I prefer the shakshuka with just the eggs.

Kofta was a marinated lamb meat dish seasoned with spices and yogurt to mask the stink of the meat.

First I sauteed my onions and garlic in a well-controlled heat till it was soft before adding my green and red bell peppers till they also softened before adding canned diced tomatoes.

Just as I started mixing, I summoned my fire mana and little by little infused my food with it by enriching the flavors as I cooked them.

After adding the spices like cumin, paprika, and cayenne chili; I wove some mana once again into the dish and somehow the sauce looks brighter and the aroma was fragrant.

"Milady...that smells really good." My maid sounded like she would like a taste of this but I merely smiled as I seasoned it carefully with a bit of sugar, salt, and pepper.

I then started cracking eggs on it after the sauce has reduced as I stopped feeding bits of my fire mana into it before turning the heat lower.

My husband likes his eggs runny but not raw so I covered the skillet with a lid for a while as I took a few sprigs of fresh parsley growing from the nearby herb pot and chopped it slightly.

After a few more minutes, I took out the skillet and tasted the tomato sauce. It tasted very lush and delicious compared to before. The mana really does smoothen out the flavors of vegetables all too well

The same happened when I finished mixing my meat with the spices and shaping them on a metal skewer before roasting them in my new oven.
