On the presentation table, still covered in notes and instructions the dessert spread is spiced with sound emanating from the table and around the room. Voices of the cooks from the speakers and the kitchen begin blending into an informal composition. The sounds of china and glassware, descriptions of desserts, instructions on how to make green tea... The table is covered with small dishes and bite-sized morsels. Smoked cheeses with glazed quince, milk-steamed oolong tea, smoky caramels and tiramisu, steamed chestnuts, liquid whiskey and cigars. Slowly the volume of the conversation rises, the cooks leave their pots and pans and join the guests for a cup of tea. The silence disappears, but the tastes and the sounds linger in the corners of people' | ||
