The clanking of dishes and the scent of sizzling bacon filled the kitchen,
spiking my adrenaline just enough to make it to the finish line. I’d been up
since the early hours of the morning, working tirelessly to deliver a meal
worthy of their expectations. Carefully, I placed my final touches on the
brunch I’d prepared for my regular catering client.
“Heads up.” Adam, one of my kitchen staff, whizzed by me with a platter
of fresh sweet rolls that had come out of the oven seconds earlier. “Liza,
where do you want these?”
“Take them to the table, please.” I maneuvered around a steam table,
squeezed between two servers, and stopped to wipe crumbs from the edge of
a plate before it left the kitchen. “This one’s ready to go, too.” Crumbs were a
given on a plate of toast, but not on one I was sending out onto the floor.
My staff followed my orders without comment or complaint, but with
elegance and a certain kind of grace only those in the food service industry
understood. It was like a perfectly orchestrated dance, each of us with a
specific task or role that needed to be completed within a specific time
frame.
We’d had some close calls in the past, but my company had a reputation
for producing quality meals that made my clients happy. Happy clients
ensured return business and word-of-mouth advertising.
My passion for food developed at an early age, probably the very first
time my parents ever took me to the local farmers’ market to sample the
delicious fruits and vegetables grown in our area. I could even remember
exactly what I’d worn, the sun on my face, and the juiciness of the first
strawberry I’d popped into my mouth. Nothing about that day had been bad.
From that moment, I was hooked. According to my mom, I’d pretended
to go to the farmers’ market every day, coming in from the outside with a bag
filled with grass and roots slung over my shoulder. Once I had my
ingredients sorted and washed, I spent the rest of the day cooking in a toy
kitchen I’d received for my sixth birthday.
Now, I spent my time in other people’s kitchens, creating meals I never
ate, and I loved every second. Most especially, I loved the praise and hearing
how much other people liked my food, my recipes, and my little finishing
touches.
“That should do it for brunch.” I wiped my hands on the rag I kept tucked
into my apron string for easy access, then turned my attention back to
preparing meals for the Hollifield family. Cassidy hired me from time to time
to prep lunches and dinners to make their hectic lives easier. I was happy to
oblige, especially since she paid me so well.
“How’s it going in here?” Cassidy asked with a dazzling smile as she
rounded the corner. “It all smells so delicious.”
Cassidy was the type of woman who could make friends with a bullfrog;
she just had that golden personality that drew people to her.
