Supreme Chef: Difference between revisions

Line 119:

* [[Nero Wolfe]]'s cook, Fritz Brenner is a supreme chef. Nero himself is pretty good, ''when'' he decides to exert himself.

* The Eternal Emperor of the ''[[Sten]]'' series is a spectacular chef. A major hobby of his is trying to recreate foods he remembers from his youth, thousands of years ago.

* [[Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett's]] ''[[Discworld]]'': Glenda Sugarbean who runs the [[Big Eater|Unseen University's]] Night Kitchen is so talented that Vetinari is willing to take her food untested—she would never poison anyone, not out of respect for him but out of respect for ''the food''—and considers telling the guards to throw away her jammy devil bribes "a crime against high art". Apparently all of the Sugarbean women qualify: her grandmother Augusta used to be the cook at the Assassin's Guild where she made the world's best bubble and squeak (she left Glenda the recipe) and refused to let any of the students use her cakes for poisoning practice—and they ''obeyed'' because no one wants to upset a good cook.

* House-elves from ''[[Harry Potter]]'', fitting their nature as the ultimate servants. Even Kreacher whips up excellent meals once he truly accepts Harry as his new master.

** Also Molly Weasley, who uses her magic wand [[Mundane Utility|in the kitchen]] and gives it a ''really'' good use according to Harry.
