Chapter 97: THREE ROUNDS— STILL HAVE A CHANCE
"We are not eating all the food. Just a bite of each is enough. There are limited ingredients provided to each contestant for a particular dish, and they are expected to serve seven plates of the dish. They would be wise to scoop the food in consideration for the size of the food."
The contestants had cooked the food in small quantity. This was because even though there was a lot of ingredients provided, ingredients had also been allocated to the contestants. They had to cook within the range of ingredients provided for them.
"Oh, but may I ask why there are three rounds of the competition?" Mrs Lambert asked.
"There are three rounds and three different dishes. This is because not everyone can prepare the same dishes. Those who don’t fare well in the first two rounds because of this reason, still have a chance." Aristia said.
Most of them did not understand, so she went on,
"You might have noticed that only two dishes were given to the contestants for the first and second rounds and none was provided for the third."
They nodded at her question.
"The reason is simple; The contestants will be allowed to prepare a dish of their choice for the third round. Those who don’t fare well in the first two rounds can still make up for it in this round."
"Oh.That is so thoughtful and kind of you." Mrs Lambert said, impressed and surprised. She couldn’t believe this. Who would do this? This little girl was so considerate.
Allowing the contestants prepare a dish of their choice meant giving them a chance to cook their best dishes; dishes they were good at cooking.
"That means we don’t disqualify any of the contestants until the third round." Mister Lambert said, and received a nod from Aristia.
