00:00In a forgotten era, within the grandeur of Bellefleur, there was a princess who answered
00:16to the name of Sarah.
00:18She was a bright little thing, loved and adored by everyone in the palace.
00:23But the most special thing about her was, she loved to cook.
00:28These look amazing.
00:32Hmm, they taste amazing too.
00:35Yes, I know.
00:38In fact, Sarah would daydream about food all day.
00:43Are these edible?
00:46Your Highness.
00:49And she'd be thinking up recipes too.
00:53Princess, you're supposed to submit homework on the life cycle of bees.
01:01And?
01:02This is a recipe for a ginger lemon cake.
01:07Oops.
01:09And one would probably find her only in...
01:15Where's Sarah?
01:16Hmm, the kitchens.
01:21Sarah, are you baking cookies?
01:25These aren't cookies, father.
01:28These are coconut macaroons.
01:30The crispiness of the gently flaked coconut combined with the rich sweetness of milk and
01:35a hint of vanilla's lovely essence.
01:38Hmm, perfect.
01:40It's 12 a.m., Sarah.
01:43Who are these for?
01:45Um, Santa?
01:48Sarah would experiment with every spice and ingredient she could lay her hands on, aiming
01:53for perfection.
01:56Everyone marveled at her dishes.
01:58And over time, she grew into a marvelous cook.
02:03Hmm, delicious.
02:07Maybe I should retire.
02:09Never.
02:10You were my first and forever teacher.
02:15One evening, however, she decided to visit her favorite soup stall.
02:20Madam Potts!
02:21Your Highness!
02:22Are you closing down?
02:24Huh?
02:25Yes.
02:26I don't have the money to run the shop anymore.
02:30The ingredients are far too costly.
02:33Oh.
02:34But I suppose I can make one last bowl for my favorite customer.
02:40As Madam Potts began to prepare the soup, Sarah watched her, enthralled.
02:45Hmm.
02:46The smell of ginger and herbs are so fresh.
02:52Even the way she carefully chops the vegetables with so much love.
02:57Here you go.
03:00Hmm, I can feel the warmth of the soup spreading through me.
03:06It's a shame you're closing down.
03:08It's not just me, love.
03:10Mr. Buns, the baker, Miss Berry Blossom, the tea shop owner, and even Chef Rigatoni.
03:17They're all shutting down.
03:19Sarah was horrified.
03:21That night, while in the kitchens, her mind was in a twirl.
03:26With your skills, maybe you should forget the crown and start a restaurant.
03:31That's it!
03:32That's what I'll do!
03:33What?
03:34You can't forfeit the crown.
03:36Oh, I'm keeping my crown all right.
03:39But I'll also start a restaurant.
03:42The next day, she got to work.
03:45She went around hiring all the owners who were closing down their shops and stalls.
03:50You'll be able to work without worrying much.
03:53Just focus on cooking, and I'll handle the rest.
03:58In no time, her new restaurant was up and running, and people flocked to it.
04:03Mmm, this is so good.
04:07I've missed your soups, Madam Potts.
04:09Oh, you should try Miss Berry Blossom's tea.
04:13It leaves you feeling so relaxed.
04:16They're enjoying our food.
04:20The restaurant's fame grew and spread throughout the lands.
04:24One day, a seemingly unruly group entered.
04:28Eeeeee!
04:29Hehehehe!
04:30Excuse me?
04:31Oh!
04:32Oh, dear.
04:37I'm so sorry about them.
04:40N-no, don't worry.
04:42Our motto is to serve every customer who's handsome, uh, hungry.
04:48Wonderful.
04:49Then I'll take the chestnut soup.
04:57Within moments, their food was served.
05:00They ate it with relish.
05:04The nuttiness, this earthy flavor.
05:06It's so well-crafted.
05:07Madam Potts does make the best soups.
05:12Mm-hmm.
05:13But that's made by the princess herself.
05:16The chef is a princess?
05:19Why, of course.
05:21The head chef of this fine establishment is our very own Bailey Fuse, Royal Highness Sarah.
05:28Oh?
05:29Then I'd like to compliment her personally.
05:32He was shown into the kitchens where Sarah was rushing about.
05:36Are you Princess Sarah?
05:38W-why, yes.
05:40What may I do for you?
05:42You may... keep very silent.
05:46If you scream, my men will destroy your village, your restaurant, and everything you hold dear.
05:53Who are you?
05:55Ever heard of the Fire Dough Bandits?
06:00They're the most treacherous bandits group there is.
06:03And I am their leader, Cobb.
06:06Cobb?
06:09Like corn on the cob?
06:12Is that your real name?
06:14Grrr.
06:15Silence.
06:16He went on to demand a huge sum in exchange for the safety of the kingdom and its princess.
06:22Grrr.
06:25Look, I get it.
06:28Kingdoms princess or no, losing your restaurant is a huge deal to a chef.
06:33Trust me, I was one.
06:35You were... a chef?
06:38Not to brag, but a pretty good one.
06:40So what will you do, princess?
06:43Sarah's mind worked fast.
06:45She didn't plan on putting everyone in danger.
06:48Fine.
06:49Fine.
06:50I'll concede to your terms if you defeat me in a cooking battle.
06:54A cooking battle?
06:56Yep.
06:57If I win, you leave my kingdom alone forever.
07:02I don't have to listen to you.
07:04There's no honor among thieves.
07:06And what about a chef's honor?
07:09If you're so good, a cooking battle should be easy peasy.
07:14Unless you're lying and you're the type who burns an omelet.
07:18Fine.
07:19One cooking battle and that's it.
07:21But if I win, I take your restaurant, the village, and all the gold I desire.
07:29Now neither the king nor the people were alerted about this deal.
07:34Sarah didn't want to scare anyone.
07:36She practiced hard at her skills for days.
07:39Why aren't I getting this right?
07:41I need to win.
07:42Maybe I need a break.
07:44She went out for a walk that evening and chanced upon Cobb, relaxing by the stream.
07:50Hey princess, here to admit defeat?
07:56As if.
07:57Are those your ingredients?
07:59Yep.
08:00But they're for my beautiful eyes only.
08:04It's your hands that'll need to do the cooking.
08:07Oh, they'll cook.
08:09And win.
08:10Please, when you lose, I'll make you a pot of chestnut soup to go.
08:15Banapots told me how much you loved it.
08:17Your soup tastes very similar to my dear mother's.
08:20She loved cooking and was the reason I followed the path of a cook.
08:25I was a renowned chef known throughout the lands.
08:29But one day, a vengeful critic decided to ruin my name and reputation.
08:34Oh.
08:35Oh no.
08:36My real name isn't Cobb, it's Crestwater.
08:40Chef Crestwater?
08:43I've heard about you.
08:45Your recipes are top notch.
08:50No one would work with me after that.
08:53Oh, Cobb.
08:55Oh, well, things got a little heated down the line so I turned towards a different side
09:01of life.
09:02Stealing from people?
09:04Threatening them?
09:06Exactly.
09:07And now, if you'll excuse me, I have a battle to win.
09:10Sarah hadn't expected Cobb to have such a side to him.
09:20How strange people are.
09:23I, too, have a kingdom to save.
09:26The day of the battle arrived.
09:28Hmph.
09:29I've trained under the best chefs worldwide.
09:32Good luck beating me.
09:34We'll see about that.
09:35The battle commenced.
09:37As Sarah cooked, Cobb glanced over.
09:40What kind of ordinary dish does she plan on making?
09:45Onions.
09:46Tomatoes.
09:47In go the beans.
09:49Lovely.
09:50Finally, the time was up.
09:52To keep things fair, the judges didn't know whose dish belonged to which chef.
09:59The first dish consisted of spicy fettuccine noodles simmered in the sweetness of coconut
10:05milk.
10:06The judges took their bites.
10:09Mmm.
10:11Delicious.
10:13The next dish was polenta and beans in a rich, creamy tomato sauce.
10:18This is so amazing.
10:22Wow.
10:23Mmm.
10:26Once they'd eaten their fill, it was finally time for the results.
10:30Sarah's heart pounded.
10:32Would her dish be good enough to save her entire kingdom?
10:37Both dishes were amazing.
10:40However, we've all agreed that the dish made of polenta and beans is the one that won our
10:46hearts.
10:48What?
10:49No!
10:52Yes!
10:53Sarah's heart leapt with joy.
10:55She bounded through the crowd in happiness.
10:58Her dish had won the battle.
11:01Cobb, however, was furious.
11:03He bellowed at the princess.
11:05How is this possible?
11:07I saw you using nothing but plain beans and polenta.
11:11Polenta is just cornmeal.
11:13You must have cheated.
11:15Cheated?
11:16My dish consisted of high-quality ingredients and has earned me great recognition in other lands.
11:22So why didn't you taste my dish before assuming that I cheated?
11:26And so Cobb took the ladle to his lips.
11:31How stunned he was.
11:33The ingredients that he had so rudely scorned now formed a medley of flavors in his mouth.
11:39Mmm.
11:40This texture.
11:42It's perfectly seasoned.
11:44This texture.
11:45It's perfectly silky and rich.
11:48And this taste.
11:50How did you attain such finesse?
11:54With what intention did you make your dish?
11:57Obviously with the intention to win.
11:59I practiced my dish with that thought too, but was never happy with the result.
12:05I realized my aim as a chef is to nourish my people with the best food possible.
12:10Food which will leave them happy and healthy.
12:13In other words, you cook with love.
12:16I've forgotten what that's like.
12:22Well, a deal's a deal, Princess.
12:24I shall take my men and leave your kingdom alone.
12:27You've earned it.
12:28Wait.
12:29What if I help you start your restaurant here?
12:33You would do that?
12:35Mm-hmm.
12:36You can be a chef again.
12:38Cobb was beyond touched.
12:40With tears in his eyes, he agreed to the kind offer.
12:46And so, the kingdom was saved from the terrible Fire Dough Bandits.
12:52Cobb, I mean Chef Crestwater, soon opened up a new restaurant in another part of the kingdom.
12:59Here you go.
13:01Uh-uh-uh.
13:03Customers must feel welcomed.
13:05Let's try again with a smile.
13:08Here you go.
13:10Uh, yeah, better.
13:14They would occasionally help each other out.
13:16Need a hand to help your beautiful eyes?
13:19Ha-ha, they're a bit busy.
13:22Looking at what?
13:23You.
13:24Mm-hmm.
13:25And so, Sarah's name spread far and wide, and Chef Crestwater's reputation began to grow again, too.
13:33It just shows.
13:37That with determination, bravery, and a little bit of culinary magic, anything is possible.
