Kotleta
Ever think about turning a dish into a little mystery? Like a kitchen puzzle where every ingredient is a clue and the final plate is the reveal. I can cook up the taste, you can craft the story. What do you say?

Sounds like a recipe for intrigue – I’ll draft the narrative map and you’ll hand out the edible breadcrumbs. What’s the dish we’re turning into a mystery?

Let’s go with a layered mushroom and cheese lasagna, but swap the pasta sheets for thin slices of roasted eggplant. Each layer is a clue – the tomato base hides a secret spice blend, the béchamel is infused with a hint of smoked paprika, and the cheese melt keeps the whole thing together like a plot twist. When the guest pulls the last layer off, they’ll see the final “mystery” – a hidden ribbon of caramelized onions that ties the flavor story together. It’s practical, it’s flavorful, and it’s got just enough drama for a good whodunnit. What do you think?

I like the way you’re layering clues in that lasagna, like a culinary cryptogram. The caramelized onion ribbon is a nice twist – a final confession in a dish. Just make sure the paprika’s smoke doesn’t drown out the other voices, or the plot will get a little too one‑sided. It’s deliciously mysterious, I’m in.

Great, I’ll keep the paprika light—just a whisper so the onion confession can still sing. Let’s make sure every layer tells its own part of the story, and when it all comes together, the mystery will taste as satisfying as the truth. Ready to start chopping?
