Chapter 152: Drugged?

As an old English gentleman, Dumbledore's kitchen for Elena was naturally a decent English open kitchen.

Of course, this also means that under such a design, it is better for Elena not to try those heavy dishes for the time being.

On one side of the kitchen is a small metal appliance that resembles an oven, and it seems to be directly powered by some kind of life charm.

However, for a beginner magic apprentice like Elena, the only way to use it was to throw it in its entirety into the fireplace and heat it up.

Thankfully, the stove was similar to her kitchen in the orphanage, and with the help of firewood in the fireplace, it could be lit manually, which at least saved the girl from having to crouch in front of the fireplace to stir-fry.

There was not a shortage of spices in front of Elena, except for the salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, paprika, and allspice in the suitcase she brought from home...... outside.

Dumbledore also left dozens of traditional European spices such as cheese, butter, olive oil, cinnamon leaves, and curry powder scattered on his workbench - it was easy to deduce where they came from from the Hogwarts crest carved into the spice bottles.

Elena took a look at the ingredients taken from the tower of Newmongaard, potatoes, cabbage, salted bacon, bread, although there are not many varieties, but the malleability of each ingredient is actually quite high.

Dishes that are difficult to shine, such as baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, and boiled potatoes without technical content, were eliminated from Elena's mind at the first time.

But if she started with a vigorous Chinese drugging technique, or mixed in some exciting new tricks, she was a little worried that Old Man Grindelwald's old body and mind might be a little unbearable.

After thinking about it carefully, it was really better to start with the ingredients that the old man was most familiar with, and gradually test out the drug resistance and taste preferences of the original Dark Lord, and then get stuck at the critical point for precise feeding is more effective.

After all, as a wizard who grew up in Germany, there's no doubt that Grindelwald's most familiar staple food must be potatoes.

You know, Germany is also known as the potato country.

For them, potatoes are not only a food, but also a spirit that people all over the country believe in. Even, when German men and women are in love, they sometimes give each other a potato to express that the other person's place in their hearts is as important as a potato.

Therefore, the most effective way to make a taste impact on Grindelwald without triggering his resistance is obviously a delicate and rich potato dish.

Elena thought about it, but if two people eat it at noon, the amount and dishes don't have to be too complicated.

A serving of cheese and bacon potato balls, a serving of garlic bread, a serving of New Orleans baked potatoes, and a plate of sautéed cabbage should be pretty much the same.

It just so happened that the water in the crucible was already boiling, so Elena first chose two large potatoes and washed them slightly, and threw them directly in the crucible to wait for them to be cooked, so that they could be peeled and pressed into mashed potatoes to make potato balls.

The quality of the crucibles that can be used directly for potions is undoubtedly quite good, and in terms of heat resistance and temperature transfer alone, they are much better than many inferior kitchenware in the non-magical world, and Elena even plans to buy some crucibles from Diagon Alley and put them in the orphanage's kitchen when she returns home from vacation.

Since the cheese and bacon balls had to wait until the potatoes were cooked, Elena's main focus was on cooking the remaining three dishes for the time being.

The first is to make the simplest garlic bread.

As the most common aperitif in Western feasts, this is undoubtedly the most suitable food as an appetizer.

Generally speaking, the main body used to make garlic bread is actually a baguette. However, Elena now has English creamy toast as the raw material, so she needs to adjust a little in terms of specific production techniques.

The most important part of making an authentic garlic bread is to make the right "garlic cream".

The main ingredients for the complete "garlic cream" are: garlic, butter, olive oil, coriander.

Since there was no fresh garlic, Elena simply replaced it with the minced garlic powder she brought at home.

For butter and olive oil, there are quite a few on the kitchen counter, as well as coriander......

Elena blinked, and fumbled out of her bosom the mutated Hogwarts lichen that hadn't had time to bake in the morning - theoretically, this could also be considered a special kind of coriander, right?

No matter, it's okay for the time being, anyway, I can't see it after chopping it.

Without hesitating for long, Erin directly washed the lichen in her hand, lifted her beloved kitchen knife and chopped the dark green lichen into pieces.

Then wait until the butter in the frying pan is slightly heated and softened, pour a little olive oil and minced garlic into it, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, stir well, and then mix the dark green crumbs on the side and stir well.

"Looks pretty good......"

Elena glanced at the mixture of garlic butter and minced lichen in the bowl.

At first glance, it looks like an authentic garlic bread sauce, and in the dim light of Grindelwald's room, the old man must not have noticed these details.

After all, Grindelwald was not a little girl like Hermione and Hannah, and most of the original Dark Lords would not easily open their mouths to try strange and unknown food.

Therefore, Elena, who is limited by objective factors, can only be as similar as possible.

The rest of the process is as simple as spreading the prepared "garlic cream" evenly on both sides of all the bread slices, then placing it directly on the flame with tongs and waiting for the surface of the bread to bake until golden brown.

One of the main reasons why garlic bread is grilled over an open flame instead of an oven is because the next dish, New Orleans Baked Potatoes, must be prepared in an oven.

The New Orleans baked potato, also known as the organ baked potato, is a home-cooked dish that is perfect for lazy people to learn.

This is because these are one of the few staple dishes that skip the steps of peeling the potatoes and preparing the sauce.

And the ingredients you need to prepare are even simpler than garlic bread – potatoes, cheese slices, minced meat, and a pinch of salt.

While keeping an eye out for the garlic bread baked above the fireplace, Elena placed the washed potatoes on the cutting board.

Without peeling, the potatoes were cut into slices, and Elena carefully controlled the strength of the knife, without cutting off the potatoes, making the potatoes look like a small organ.

She then slices the cheese from the workbench and carefully stuffs it into the gaps of the potato slices that resemble a small organ.

Once the cheese slices were filled, the girl picked up the extraordinarily pretty-looking potatoes and placed them smoothly in the oven on the worktop, and- well, it seemed that this Dumbledore had forgotten to put the manual, and she couldn't get the oven to start.

But it's not a big problem, and I don't care if I don't have the corresponding magic to start the oven, Elena has already thought of a way to deal with it.

The girl spit two mouthfuls of the little fairy's fragrant saliva into her palms and rubbed her palms vigorously.

"Hey~up!"

I saw the little silver-haired witch directly pick up the whole oven, turn around, and throw it into the burning fireplace.

"Alright, you're done. ”

Elena clapped her hands happily, now she only needs to wait for another ten minutes, take out the roasted organ potatoes, sprinkle them with condiments, meat foam and other seasonings, and put them in the oven for another 5 minutes or so.

Anyway, there are tongs to pull the oven apart afterwards, and you don't have to worry about taking it out and putting in the food later.

As for whether this will compromise the life of the oven?

Well, of course the generous Professor Dumbledore would forgive her - the school was mortgaged, and he certainly wouldn't bother with her for a small oven.

What's more, she didn't do all this for herself, nor did she take care of the old demon king upstairs who had been imprisoned by Dumbledore in the secret room for forty-six years.
