Some chefs calls them "turtledoves",

a very romantic plate.

Well cooked they are so

soft as the butter.

They can be made to the grill,

padded with wild or cooked rice

... roasted, poached, to

the fathoms and even fried.

But there is not bigger sin that

to cook too much a quail.

To be perfect, he/she should have

the breast a little rosy.

You need the correct quail. It should

to be fleshy or he/she dries off very quick.

I prefer to serve them roasted.

That gives him/her a flavor

more robust and more succulent.

With a garnish of truffle raviolis

and wild mushrooms, are delicious.

Of course, you can also cook them

in a pig bladder.

... with a mixture of Madeira and brandy.

The bladder helps to protect the

quail, maintains it juicy.

You can serve it with a soft one

sauce of thyme, chives...

... carameled chalotas, truffles.

The truffles go perfectly with

almost any quail plate...

... because they stand out their delicate flavor.

Does it feel well?

Very well. It continues.

They increase marvelously

the delicate flavor of the quail.

But, you really have to have

the money to buy the truffles.

... but, better you forget them.

Now, as appetizer I suggest...

Kate, would care you...

if I change topic a moment?

- No.

- Why do you come every week?

My boss told me that me

he/she would discharge if he/she didn't go to therapy.

And why you believe that her

does he/she think that you need therapy?

Why?

Does he/she know what?

Not I have the smallest idea.

Two appetizers.

Leah, a quail and a

sole for nine o'clock.

I am still waiting those

fillets. Where are they? Clever!

Terrine, carpaccio.

Chef, Hal Reeves says that the one

lamb has never been better.

Seriously? And him what he/she knows?

Kate, Peterson arrived.

They love you how brilliant you are.

Thank them, but the chefs

brilliant they should be in the kitchen.

At least greet them. You know that

they belong to my best clients.

In one minute.

Don't cook them too much because...

- Yes, they become hard. I already know it.

- No, they dry off. They dry off, Leah.

I become hard. The quail dries off.

Kate, I want us to speak

of the menu of next week.

You are a maga, Kate.

And you know that my husband

he/she never stops to eulogize you.

In fact, it could become jealous.

I adore anyone that

it can surprise my palate.

It is always a pleasure

to cook for you.

- Will we see you next week, not?

- Of course.

- Good night.

- Good night.

It was a pleasure to see them.

I tell him/her that it is not well cooked.

- Can I ask what it happens?

- Kate, I take charge.

- You should be the chef.

- It is this way.

- Wonderful. I want to show him/her something.

- Ken, don't make that.

The foie gras was not cooked enough.

Pardon?

I will bring him/her a new one

appetizer, courtesy of the house.

My foie gras is

perfectly cooked.

Not he/she has to be embarrassed, pretty. To

all can fail them the foie gras.

This doesn't have anything of bad.

It is perfectly comme d faut.

- What does that mean?

- Comme il faut?

"As it should be." 60o in the oven,

... 25 minutes, neither a lot neither a little,

with the rosy, pretty perfect tone.

Coarse.

We will leave to another part.

Vmonos.

Go to the position of hot dogs of

Vinnie, in the corner. He/she cooks to the order.

How many times have I told it to you?

Not you can make a scandal each

time that he doesn't like somebody your food.

Please. That type is a barbarian.

And a client that pays. If he says that

the foie gras is not well, it is not well.

The foie gras is cruel for the animals.

- Leah.

- Don't enter.

I swear that if you were not one of the best

chefs of the city, said goodbye to you today.

One of the best chefs?!

What does that mean?

Comely to that says

only to bother me.

He/she says it alone to bother me.

- Or not?

- What you say, chef.

Mailbox of messages, not

he/she has any message.

- How are you?

- I am well, Frank.

I have some pretty lobsters of Maine.

That is very small. Better this.

Do send them to me before 2:30 o'clock, do you want?

And it sends those squalid ones to Fontaine!

Kate! Who is your best friend?

- Did you get it?

- Didn't you request it to me?

Gilded Blanquillo?

Bob!

- Alone for you!

- They are beautiful.

Beautiful blanquillos

golden, fishes with line.

- Beautiful.

- Give me a kiss.

- Bob.

- Give me a kiss.

Why to my he/she didn't play me kiss?

Why didn't he/she play you kiss?

You didn't get him/her anything!

- And to this how you call it?

- Not I see any golden blanquillo!

Hello?

Hello, I am me! I am reporting myself.

We will arrive like at nine o'clock.

Fabulous, I will make sure

of being of return.

Well. What are you making?

Reading a recipe. no?

Christine, be not ridiculous.

I have other you interest.

Of course. One mentions.

How is Zoe?

Adorable. It has changed a lot

from the last time that you dressed her.

- Is certain affection not?

- I don't know.

What will they have dinner?

Don't worry about us. Us

we will eat a pizza or something like that.

Undoubtedly not. What him

does Zoe like these days?

He/she eats any thing. It is a vacuum cleaner.

Mom!

I will call you when it is close.

Say goodbye to your aunt Kate.

- Good-bye, aunt Kate!

- Good-bye, aunt Kate!

Hello, Kate. You have just arrived?

No, I forgot something.

- How are you?

- Well.

Do you work tonight? I know a

Thai fabulous restaurant.

I will work. Alone a couple of hours.

My sister and my niece

they will come to visit one another.

I don't surrender easily. A day of these

I will convince you of go to have dinner with me.

Be, you should already know

that I don't usually make that.

- What thing? To have dinner?

- To leave to have dinner with somebody.

And to have breakfast?

You live in my building.

Not I go out with anybody that lives

in my building. It is a rule.

It seems that you have many rules.

Not you did say that you forgot something?

- Ah, thank you. Yes.

- Of anything.

What does he/she have of bad to have rules?

Not I am controladora neither anything of that.

Alone I prefer that the things

be made correctly.

For that reason finished

making everything myself.

He/she has idea of that complicated that

is it to coordinate 40 plates at the same time?

I hope he likes scallops.

Not we had been in that

would you no longer cook for my?

I don't make it for you,

alone I prove new ideas.

To who will I give it if not?

We will attempt something new this week.

I will make you wonder

and you will respond them.

Does he/she make how much your last relationship was?

Is that not a little personal?

Good, it is a therapy.

Does he/she make how much?

Not I know. Three years. Maybe four.

Who did finish it?

Me. It was becoming very demanding.

In what sense?

After two years he/she wanted
