Mise-en-place is the tidy ritual that separates chefs from amateurs, but here the line feels joyfully ignored. Martin Haake stages the scene like a culinary comedy, where every tool and ingredient performs slightly out of turn. The chef, crisp in uniform, presides over a battlefield of vegetables and gadgets like someone auditioning for the role of “professional.” Send to the friend who cooks dramatically and still manages to make something perfect by accident.
