Akane, chin on hand, picks a crispy shallot off the top of the casserole with chopsticks. Caption: "Just one more shallot. For research." Akane chews happily, eyes closed, another shallot already in her chopsticks. Caption: "And one more. Research is very thorough." Overhead: the white baking dish with one corner scooped out; Akane peeks at it with a small guilty smile. Caption: "Note for the holidays: make extra shallots."

At her table, Akane sneaks crispy shallots off the casserole with chopsticks, savours another with her eyes closed, then smiles sheepishly at the dish, a scooped corner showing.
About this chapter
Holiday season is coming, and green bean casserole is the top trending Thanksgiving recipe on Google. On a quiet November afternoon Akane does a practice run and makes it fully from scratch in her small kitchen: green beans blanched bright and crisp, shallots fried golden, mushrooms browned in butter and folded into a silky cream sauce with a dash of soy sauce, then baked in her countertop oven until bubbling and crowned with the crispy shallots. Captions walk the reader through every amount, heat setting and timing so it can be made at home, ending with Akane at her little table, doing some very thorough research on the topping.
