The Kitchen Notebook
Casa Nora, closing on a Tuesday. The black notebook where the chef has written the house recipes by hand for twenty years — the real ones, with the quantities that never make the menu — lives in the drawer at the pass, under the board. Tonight the drawer was open and the notebook was gone. In three weeks a restaurant opens two hundred metres away, run by somebody who worked here.

Terrace waitress
I never left the still room.
♀Damiana

Me? I was in the still room. Barnaby was around the dining room. I was side by side with Nora.
♀Bonnie

I was in the cold room the whole time. Nora is telling the truth, and I stand by that. From my spot I could see the larder, and there were 2 people in it.

I was on the terrace. I saw a woman in the dining room. Otilia is lying.

I was in the dining room. Petronella is lying.
