Transcript
Akane rests her chin on her hand, her own bowl now empty with a spoon in it. Caption: "The recipe says it serves 2." View past Akane's shoulder: the full second bowl of Turkish pasta steams in front of the empty wooden chair across the table. Caption: "Only one cook is home tonight." Akane reaches across and slides the full bowl toward herself, smiling, her empty bowl beside it. Caption: "The math still works out."

Akane rests her chin on her hand beside her empty bowl, looks at the full second bowl steaming in front of the empty chair, then slides it over to her side of the table with a small satisfied smile.
About this chapter
Turkish pasta made Google's list of the top trending recipes of the year in its Year in Search, and it is still a much-searched comfort dish as the evenings turn cold. On a chilly November evening Akane makes it in her small kitchen in about 30 minutes: cool garlicky yogurt spread in the bowl, warm pasta, ground beef cooked with onion, tomato paste and spices until no pink remains, and a sizzling drizzle of red pepper butter with dried mint on top. Captions walk the reader through every amount, heat setting and doneness check so it can be made at home, ending with Akane at her little table doing some very reasonable math about the second serving.
