While Harumi and Sangre went to the other side of the kitchen, Josh focused on the food him and Akira was preparing. Looking at the person next to him, he smiled softly and tried explaining as much as he possibly could.
“Ravioli is a pasta, where you get two pieces of dough, cut into squares, and place something in the middle. We’ll be placing cheese in these ones…” Josh showed an example, cutting the slices of dough and then using a spoon to place a little bit of the ricotta in the center. Cutting up some spinach, he mixed it into the cheese and then went on. “Spinach is high in iron, as well as fiber when cooked. It’s just a vegetable that’s healthy and adds a bit of….well, kind of adds flavour.” Josh chuckled, closing the pasta up and then placing it on a sheet that Sangre would boil later on.
“There. You try, and if you think you need help I’m right here.” Josh said in a voice low enough that only Akira could hear, using the same tone as him just to keep it calm for them both.
