Becoming a pastry chef even if you cannot eat dairy products
Celeina: Did you eat a lot of sweets since you were a child?
Sugamata: Actually, I have disliked dairy products since I was a child. I couldn’t eat any.
Takano: If you mean all of them, then cream is also a dairy product, isn’t it?
Sugamata: Not at all. Cheese is also a no-no, but I conquered butter in my third year of high school.
Takano:Conquered butter! (haha) How did you get over it?
Sugamata: I tried various ways of eating it. I discovered that it tastes like this when melted, or that it tastes good if you put salt on it. I gathered information about the taste little by little and conquered it.
Takano: Do you still have a weakness for whipped cream?
Sugamata: Not at all.
Takano: Fresh cream is the star of sweets, isn’t it?
Sugamata: Milk and other ingredients are commonplace in our daily lives, but when I heat it up to make sweets, the smell of the milk really comes out. That’s already too much for me.
Takano: Wait a minute, is there such a pastry chef?
Celeina：Mr.Sugamata, you are too funny, including your body language. You do taste the portions and other things, don’t you?
Sugamata: I do because it’s my job.
Celeina:Do you eat the food while thinking that it is your job?
Sugamata: I would like to avoid it if possible, but I can’t create the flavor without tasting it. But when I make prototypes, at first I can’t taste anything because I don’t like dairy products. From there, I gradually make it taste like something I can’t eat. Then everyone says it tastes good.
Takano: That kind of reverse sensor has evolved and become very sensitive, and we have become more trusting of taste.
Sugamata: I wonder. (haha)
Celeina: Unexpected and too punchy.
Takano: By making something that Mr. Sugamata can’t eat, you can make something delicious for everyone.
Sugamata:That’s right! That’s how I feel.
Takano: That’s interesting.
