There is the term medical food homology.

I think the idea was to try to prevent and treat the disease by eating a nutritionally balanced diet.

I don't think this is Japan's own way of thinking, but the same kind of medicine and meals could be mentioned.

No, was it based on the idea originally obtained from the medicine meal?

Once, a teacher in an aromatherapy class who had sewn between busy jobs said the same thing.

Taking the right meal is the foundation for maintaining health, the best foundation or something.

And the right diet should have referred to a nutritionally balanced diet.

The same idea existed in the West, where research had long been carried out around monasteries.

The research that the monastery was carrying out also includes the use of herbs for cooking.

I have read in the book that it was studied not just for fragrance, but even for health benefits.

By the way, why are you thinking about this, because I thought I'd try to cook a dish based on that idea.

It was only occasional that I noticed the ingredients.

On my way home from the herbal field, as I was walking inside the territorial capital with Mr. Corinna, I found something.

It is a type of ancient wheat that has long been grown in Europe.

Compared to this ancient wheat, common wheat, they contain more nutrients in the edible area.

That's what it said in the book I bought attracted to the title.

Appearing in that book, it's wheat enough that those who called it the Virgin in Europe also recommended it to be the best wheat.

I never saw the real thing, but I noticed that wheat because I pinched a word from my uncle in the store in my ear.

You heard my uncle telling his customers, "Although this wheat shell is hard," right?

At that time, my legs stopped unexpectedly remembering that one of the characteristics of ancient wheat was a hard outer shell.

And when I asked Corinna, who was walking next door, about the name of the wheat in the store, she correctly said it was the same name as that ancient wheat.

Ancient wheat is a commonly used type of wheat in Klausner territory, and it seems strange to me that I stopped on such normal wheat.

Corinna asked me what was going on on on the spot, so explaining a little what I read in the book raised one eyebrow of Corinna.

It seems that the story of the nutrients in the ingredients has sparked my interest.

The concept of nutrition did not yet seem to exist in this world.

I was questioned about this on the way to the castle.

As we talked about it a lot, Mr. Corinna mentioned that I think I could use this wheat to make potions.

I don't know if you can make potions, but you thought if you cooked, you could make them.

The book, which contained the ancient wheat thing, also contained a recipe that was conceived by someone who was called the Virgin.

The ingredients used in the recipe are all in Klausner territory and are in your hands, so you will be able to reproduce them.

I think I'll make it for a try.

If that's what you think, I'm kind of excited.

Because this world has culinary skills.

Cooking made by people with culinary skills has the effect of improving their physical abilities.

Even dishes made of ordinary ingredients are effective enough to be noticed by those who eat them.

What happens if you make it with ingredients that are said to be good for your health, like ancient wheat?

I was so curious that I wanted to give it a try.

I quickly checked with Mr. Corinna to see if he could use the castle's kitchen, and at first he looked terribly suspicious.

That would be so.

It's rare for people of high stature to cook in this country.

I can feel free to say it myself, but [the Virgin] is not in a low capacity.

However, Corinna nodded with a very good smile when she said she wanted to try to cook a dish that was good for her health that was in the book.

He remembered the story about the medicinal meal we talked about before.

It's not a medicinal meal, but I thought I might be able to eat a similar dish, and that already promptly went to the lord for permission.

I heard from Mr. Corinna. He also gave me pleasant permission.

He said he was looking forward to eating the dishes that are popular in Wang Du.

The same was true of the Castle cooks, who were delighted that it was a good opportunity to study.

I'm a little sorry because the dishes I'm trying to make are not noble objects.

Not long after that, I was ready.

"Thank you for creating an opportunity for Wang Du's cooking to learn"

"No, thank you for responding to sudden requests. Best regards,"

"Nice to meet you"

"" "Regards" "

The day I got permission.

When I went to the kitchen with Mr. Corinna, I was greeted by the chefs smiling at me.

When I went down to greet the head chef who divided the kitchen, he thanked me.

Though I'm in a position to thank you.

I hope I can live up to my expectations because what I make today is a dish I've never even made in Wang Du.

Put on the apron immediately after the greeting and get to cooking.

Ingredients that had been communicated beforehand were available on the cooking table.

Pasta is what I make today.

Begin by mixing together flour, oil, eggs and salt made from ancient wheat.

Unfortunately, there was no olive oil, so I had another vegetable oil prepared.

I used to think about making handbeaten pasta, but I didn't end up making it, so I can't remember how to make it.

I'm telling you that today's is only an experiment, so you'll forgive me if I fail.

Yeah...... if you fail, make another dish and ask forgiveness.

He had told the chef what kind of dish he would cook in advance.

With that in mind, the other cooks with me are going to work on making pasta.

Actually, this can also be part of an experiment.

This time I wanted to know if using ancient wheat would make a difference in the effect from other wheat.

To do this, we have to prepare two kinds of pasta: one with ancient wheat and another with other wheat.

Besides, when I heard that I was going to cook, my voice raised unexpectedly many voices that I wanted to eat.

Starting with the lord and Mr. Corinna, the lord's family and the pharmacists in the distillery made demands, didn't they?

When it comes to preparing such a large number of dishes, it is impossible for me to make them alone on a boulder.

So I decided to ask the cooks to make it with me.

Aside from the quantity, I have a reason why you helped me.

It's a 50% more curse.

The dish I make has a curse of 50% more, just like the potion.

So much so that the director forbade me to cook in public.

Nevertheless, I'm not saying you can't make anything.

If it's not a public place, you can make it.

In fact, I used to make it at the lab.

Perhaps it is a matter of many people knowing my abilities, and I am thinking that I was banned.

So, this time I decided to offer it to the Captain and the Lords family for what I made.

Because of the small number of people and the fact that the body moves less than the knights except for the captain, I thought it might be difficult to notice the difference in effect.

Of course, sometimes it's because I cooked (...).

You see, the dishes made by [the Virgin], they feel special, don't they?

I feel really subtle when I say something special myself, but people of high status prefer something special like that...

I checked with the captain, but he said that would be fine.

Still, should I call it a boulder job?

Looking to the side, the cooks were handily pinching the dough.

I think I just listened to you, but wow.

I am more than a step behind them.

Concentrate on those who make pasta without thinking too much about it.

That's how I pinched the dough, and where the surface smoothed, I hung a wet cloth towel to rest the dough once.

While resting the dough, chop the pasta and soothing vegetables.

It would have been nice with meat sauce, but because of this, I decided to use the medicinal herb to make it basilico-style.

I think the example book had the recipe listed as vanilla-flavoured pasta.

Mince garlic, onions, basil, dill, etc.

You promised the onion would stain your eyes.

When I finished carving, it was just the right time, so I resumed making pasta.

Stretch the dough thinly, fold and chop, and you can make flat-beaten noodles.

I prefer thinner noodles, but this is the limit to making my own.

It may not fit Basilico, but let's give it up.

After that, boil the noodles, sauté them with the vegetables, and if they taste good, they're done.

"How's the end?

"You'll be able to do it soon."

As I was boiling the pasta, Mr. Corinna talked to me.

Standing beside me, looking intriguingly into the pan.

It's a big pot, so I'm kind of smiling that you're stretching out to peek in.

"Nevertheless, was it pasta? What made you change the type of wheat?

"I wanted to find out if the type of wheat I use makes a difference in the effectiveness of my dishes."

"The effects of cooking?

"Yep. When people with culinary skills make it, they have the effect of improving their physical abilities."

"Really? I've never heard of such an effect on cooking."

"It was also in the past year that we talked about it in the Wang capital, so it hasn't been communicated to this one yet?"

"Maybe there is, but it has nothing to do with potion, so maybe you're just not listening. But funny."

The effects of cooking are already widely known stories in Wang Du, but they didn't reach Mr. Corinna's ears.

In a world where there is no telephone, television, etc., it takes time to communicate information.

It's an incredible story, but when my grandmother was young, she said it took years for the urban epidemic to pass on to the provinces.

I already had a phone and a TV.

If the story of my grandmother is true, I can also be convinced that the story of the Wang capital has not yet reached Klausner territory.

The pasta boiled up while we were talking, so cut off the hot water and quickly fry in the frying pan that was ready next door.

The first thing to make is one serving.

The cooks are supposed to taste it and then move on to the task of making it for everyone.

In an attempt to see the work done after boiling, the chef also stands on the opposite side of Mr. Corinna's standing.

The cooks are also a little far away, and I'm keeping an eye on this one, so I'm plain nervous, but I can't help it.

"Done."

The seasoning is only salt, but it was finished with salt plums that you should taste.

Serve it on a plate and it's done.

If you put it in front of the chef and call him, he can reach out quickly.

I saw a good reaction and relieved my shoulder load.
