Ideal Story 005 "POLITE work apron 03"

Wonderful Sense of Discrepancy and Space

At dusk, the campsite set up in the forest was enveloped in a quiet vibrancy. At its center, surrounded by a large wooden table, was Chef Pierre, dressed in a white apron, preparing his dishes. Today, Pierre is wearing the "POLITE work apron 03 Long" instead of his usual chef's coat. The white apron symbolizes his pride and responsibility towards his cooking. As it's his day off, the "X" pocket on his chest signifies relaxation and leisure.

On the table, professional cooking tools chosen for outdoor use are lined up, and fresh ingredients spread out in a colorful display. Pierre’s deft movements, accompanied by the sharp sound of the knife, fill the air, while the pleasant aroma of "Boeuf Bourguignon" (beef braised in red wine) wafts from the Dutch oven placed by the campfire.

With a serious expression, Pierre focuses on his cooking, as "Tarte Flambée" (Alsatian-style thin pizza) is being expertly prepared on the grill. Tarte Flambée, a dish made with cream, bacon, and onions, offers a simple yet rich taste. His presence seems to blend seamlessly with nature. The white apron highlights his movements and adds a unique atmosphere to the campsite. The slight oddity of wearing a white apron in the midst of nature is indeed part of Pierre’s style.

The serving staff, Alice and Marc, wear "POLITE work apron 03 Low" and beautifully plate the dishes before bringing them to the table, enhancing the camping experience. Their aprons are both functional and stylish, designed for ease of movement.

Chef Pierre, Alice, Marc, Louis, and Marie are all old friends. Louis and Marie wear "POLITE work apron 03 Short," fulfilling their respective roles and contributing to the camp’s atmosphere. Louis, a longtime friend of Pierre, is a pâtissier whose desserts add the perfect touch of sweetness and delicacy to the end of the meal. Marie, Pierre’s assistant, handles cooking support and ingredient preparation, her efficient work and bright smile adding to the camp's cheerful mood.

For the appetizer, "Salmon Tartare" is served. Fresh salmon is finely chopped and mixed with avocado and shredded cucumber, seasoned with lemon juice and herbs. This light and refreshing appetizer adds a touch of elegance to the beginning of the meal.

The main courses are "Boeuf Bourguignon" and "Tarte Flambée," both characterized by rich flavors and deep tastes, making the outdoor meal even more special.

For dessert, Louis presents "Tarte Tatin," a caramelized apple tart. The butter-rich pastry is filled with sweet, melt-in-your-mouth apples wrapped in caramel sauce and served with cream. This dessert provides a luxurious finish to the meal.

Friends waiting eagerly for the meal, Jean-Luc, Hélène, and Claude, are drawn to the table by the delicious aromas. They have been close friends since their university days in France. Jean-Luc works in advertising and is known for his creative ideas. Hélène, a designer, values inspiration from nature. Claude, a doctor, has been looking forward to this camp as a refreshing break from his busy work.

Their eyes shine with anticipation, and their stomachs are gradually filled with joy. Pierre’s dishes are not just camp food; each plate is imbued with love and skill, making their time in nature even more special. The white apron symbolizes his dedication to bringing joy to his friends through his cooking. His determination to deliver the best food in any place or situation is embodied in this.

In the serene forest at dusk, Pierre’s cooking warms the hearts and stomachs of his friends, creating a moment filled with smiles. The sight of Pierre, Alice, Marc, Louis, and Marie in their white aprons, harmonizing with nature while radiating their unique presence, made this special night in the forest an unforgettable memory for them.
