Private Project

Olive à la Coque

Olive is such a virtuous chef that he invented a dish that is almost impossible to cook. A mystery client shows up at his restaurant for dinner, ordering the chef's special. But troubles do not come alone: the owner's impatient and the sous-chef distractions are Olive's worst enemies.
