Magic's going pretty fucking great as always, and good pick, I am in fact a famous chef. Kinda took a bit of a detour with saving the world but like, Taako's a household name, for sure.

[Well none of that is a lie]

What's up with you, my man?

[bottombitch]

[ When he reads the text, he laughs a little. ]

I'm sure you are. 'Magical Chef Taako' has quite a ring to it~

[ Like a one-shot comic series that results in a ton of spin-offs or something. He's kinda nerdy, forgive him. ]

I'm doing okay! A lot better now that the ghosts have stopped making daily routines one big jump scare waiting to happen.

...Hey, are you able to give cooking tips? While you're doing the magic thing, I mean?

[spellslots]

Wizard chef Taako, if you wanna get technical

That depends on if this is a hypothetical question or if you're actually asking for cooking tips

[bottombitch]

No, I mean for real can-actually-eat-the-results cooking tips

I keep practicing but when it comes to anything like baking, I'm pretty terrible and I'm running out of time.

[spellslots]

First of all, cooking and baking are two totally different things, so jot that down

What's the time limit? If you're gonna starve to death you do know that take out exists, right?

[bottombitch]

I'm not used to having an oven, so it's been hell trying to figure it out.

Haha, more like I might die of embarrassment if I don't figure out how to make Christmas Cake.

[spellslots]

[What the FUCK is a Christmas cake

(google's got his back)]

Lemme stop you there, are you gonna start your cooking journey with a cake you gotta look after for weeks?

[bottombitch]

Eh?

What do you mean, weeks? Why so long?

[ They're talking about two VERY DIFFERENT kinds of Christmas Cake. ]

[spellslots]

This recipe says you gotta pour booze on it occasionally for months before you serve it?

[bottombitch]

[ S-So much......!! ]

[ Okay, after the initial shock wears off, Aoba finally manages to explain the only kind of Christmas Cake he knows. ]

But it's supposed to be soft, fluffy sponge cake with strawberries and sweet, light cream...

What you described sounds like something you'd set on fire

[spellslots]

["Christmas cake variations" is promptly put into the search bar, followed by an annoyed "why is Earth so dumb", but he gets there eventually.]

So like, a sponge cake? What part are you fucking up?

[bottombitch]

[ Aoba looks at the recipe, then at his hands. ]

...

Everything. [ How is someone that bad at following such an easy-ass recipe. ]

[spellslots]

[yikes]

Do you have an electric whisk?

[bottombitch]

[ Yikes is right. ]

Just a normal one.

Why, is the electric kind that important?

[spellslots]

Shit, for sure. Unless you've got like insane arms you're never gonna get something as fluffy and smooth with a hand whisk as you will with an electric

[bottombitch]

oh my god

I can't believe that's what's been holding me back from improving

[ He already feels like he gained a level in baking. He didn't, though. ]

You really are a Wizard Chef!

[spellslots]

Was that ever in doubt?

[Rude???]

Just to check, you're using a double boiler technique, yeah?

[bottombitch]

Double... broiler?

[ WHAT SORCERY IS THIS is he about to learn something incredible? ]

[spellslots]

[You know what he's just gonna send a picture, of a pot of water on the stove, with a metal bowl placed over the top; there are whisked eggs in the bowl.]

Double boiler. You heat the water in the pot and then pop the bowl over that once it's simmering. With shit like eggs or milk you gotta be careful not to overheat them while you're preparing the batter, that's where this comes in

[bottombitch]

W-woah. [ Aoba feels like his head is spinning from something this complicated - can he really pull this off? ]

That looks difficult. [ It's really not... ]

...

Maybe it's easier if you just teach me magic instead.

[spellslots]

It's a pot of water and a bowl, if you can't figure that shit out you shouldn't be in a kitchen at all, my fella

1.2

[bottombitch]

[ GHK!!! S-so harsh! ]

2.2

[bottombitch]

I'm sorry, this kind of cooking is kinda... alien to me.

Thank you, Taako-san. You've taught me a lot already... I'm going to work hard on what you've taught me today!

[spellslots]

There's no harm in starting with easy shit, look up a basic vanilla cake online and start there if you wanna, work your way up to fancy sponges

But hey, good luck
