SASUHINA DAY 2 – Cinnamon buns and Tomatoes
Some of the greatest chefs in the world would call the dynamic duo a match made in heaven or the most ridiculous thing they had ever heard but it seemed that the hotel's director had other plans in mind. At the age of 26 Hinata Hyüga and Sasuke Uchiha are the most sort after up and coming chefs in the world. The director of Konoha International hotel had came up with the crazy idea to bring these two together in one kitchen. Many of the staff had speculated that they would or wouldn't work well together before they arrived but when they did there was nothing but silence between them.
They were lead to the kitchen and left alone to get settled in. They moved about silently for a few minutes inspecting their workspace until they faced each other.
"Hyüga"
"Uchiha-san"
"It seems that we have to work together this time."
"I hope you won't ruin my dish like last time Sasuke." Hinata looked at him accusingly.
"That was not me, it was that dope."
"But he is your friend so you are accountable to what he does in the kitchen." She huffed out.
"Well rest assured that he won't be near any of our dishes." Hinata nodded and relaxed.
"Do you have any idea what we should make for dessert?"
"It was the only thing the director didn't give a request for…."
"Maybe we should make a fusion of our favourite desserts, like our signature dish when we work together."
"Not a bad idea Hyüga but I don't like desserts… or anything sweet for that matter." Hinata had a look of horror on her face when he mentioned his dislike of all things sweet. "Don't be so shocked Hyüga." Hinata pouted and thought what kind of person doesn't like dessert.
"Well what about a fruit then… you do eat fruits right?"
"Yes Hyüga." He said sarcastically "and its tomatoes"
"Eh?! How are we supposed to combine cinnamon buns and tomatoes?"
"Well I know a great tomato cake recipe it's not too sweet but it will pass for dessert." Hinata stood for a while thinking of what he said. "What's going in that head of yours Hyüga?"
"Well I was thinking we make a roulade, a tomato sponge with a cinnamon filling with a berry reduction on top. What do you think?"
"Not bad Hyüga, not bad at all. I'll leave the filling to you."
"Sure. Now let's get to work we don't have much time before the banquet." With that said they let in the staff members in and got to work. The aroma that radiated from the kitchen made anyone who walked pass drool. Inside the kitchen there was not stop movement, preparation was going perfectly. Everything was almost done except for the tomato roulade. They had left that for last so they could work on it together. A smooth creamy cinnamon filling and a light fluffy tomato sponge rolled into one dressed with a dark chocolate berry reduction and a dust of icing sugar. It was perfect. The guest of the party loved it and the critics silenced into dessert heaven.
Now who said cinnamon buns and tomatoes don't go together. ;)
