Episodio 1 – La cena de cumpleaños

Julien Moreau ya estaba sudando cuando Camille irrumpió en la cocina de su apartamento con una botella de vino bajo el brazo y sin preocuparse por el hecho de que cada superficie estaba cubierta de algo afilado, caliente o ambas cosas.

“Pareces a punto de hacer una cirugía”, dijo, dejando la botella junto a una tabla de cortar llena de hinojo laminado. “Relájate. Es solo el cumpleaños de Matthieu, no el presidente.”

Julien no levantó la vista. “Si abres ese horno, te saco físicamente de este apartamento.”

Camille sonrió y, en lugar de acercarse al horno, se apoyó en la encimera para observarlo trabajar. Él se movía con la concentración silenciosa de alguien que había ensayado aquello a solas una docena de veces. La dorada estaba abierta en mariposa y brillante, frotada con aceite de oliva y ralladura de cítricos, rellena con hojas de hinojo y finas láminas de limón en conserva. En la estufa, las hebras de azafrán se abrían lentamente en el caldo, tiñendo el líquido del color de la luz al final de la tarde.

“Sabes”, dijo Camille, tomando una rodaja de naranja y robándola antes de que él pudiera impedirlo, “la mayoría de la gente habría pedido catering.”

“La mayoría de la gente no pasa la mañana discutiendo con pescaderos sobre el color de las branquias”, respondió él.

Ella lo observó marcar la piel con manos firmes. “Podrías haber hecho esto hace años.”

Julien deslizó el pescado en el horno y por fin la miró. “¿Hecho qué?”

“Cocinar para la gente. Así. No solo para mí y para quien sea que esté sentado en mi mesa.”
