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.
