CHAPTER 7 | The Hidden Kitchen
https://joshuasagehiddenkitchen.wordpress.com/chapter-7
Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. In the kitchen, Angus made chaos out of the service. Cooks yelled. Waiters and waitresses piled up at the pass and waited for their plates. Glass crashed to the floor. Gorgette roared at his staff, issued some brusque orders and then left via the back way. Normally Gorgette was thankful for that fact. Tucked here behind these useless old relics, the Red Hen attracted far fewer customers than the Imperial. By the charter ...The e...

Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. The door to the private car opened and out stepped the Prince. He was a young, thin man flanked by four large, burly soldiers. The Prince wore silks the colors of the city; red, green and yellow. The soldiers wore crisp black uniforms with shiny brass helmets. Gorgette, I am absolutely famished, said the Prince. I can certainly do something about that, said the chef. For the main course Gorgette used steaks from the center loin,...

Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. It’ll be soon, he promised. The potatoes roasted. Joshua fished out the greens with his piece of wood. He dumped them into another pot of cold water. He took them from the pot and squeezed them dry. Then he popped a few leaves with a pinch of salt into his mouth. They tasted slightly bitter, but fresh and bright, like spring sunshine. Just hours before Joshua had no idea how to cook anything. He saw them returning. Lucinda was i...

Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. March 2, 2010. The Rat King held up his hand. The man on the pulley stopped feeding the rope. Sophie and Benjamin dangled less then a foot above the rats. The creatures leapt into the air and nipped at them with their sharp fangs. They shrieked wildly. Commanded the Rat King. The pulley operator dutifully tugged on the rope. Joshua and the others peered down at their friends with red, teary eyes. Is he letting them go? And then ...

CHAPTER 10 | The Hidden Kitchen
https://joshuasagehiddenkitchen.wordpress.com/chapter-10
Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. For days Joshua wandered the halls, not caring who he bumped into. In the evenings he ate his gruel and rock hard bread. At nights he slept on a ratty mattress in a long hall with dozens of others, men, women, children. He tapped her on the shoulder and said, It’s time to eat. The girl looked up at him. She was so much younger than he, no more than five or six. You have to go if you want to eat. He held out his hand. A few weeks...

Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. Joshua picked up his pace and left Lucinda back in Dreamer’s Garden. He ignored her question. I’ll find a way. Every step he took he became more worried. They had months to find shelter before the winter came, but without food they might not last the week. His worry was so big it took over his whole brain and left nothing to work out how to solve the matter. I’ll make this all right. I’ll fix this somehow. Now what do I do?

Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. Hodmedod left Joshua and the dead man at the coal docks and made his way by secret, unseen routes to Hightown Street and his employer. Hightown Street and Dreamer’s Garden were close to each other on the map but leagues apart in every other respect. The stories they told in Rustington and Dreamer’s Garden about the wealth and luxury that lay across the river weren’t far from the truth. Gorgette stood planted at the pass, the tab...

https://joshuasagehiddenkitchen.wordpress.com/chapter-11
Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. Joshua sat in the quiet room with only one chair and the spider web pattern of scratches on the floor. The tired looking sergeant opened the door. He grunted at Joshua and jerked his thumb towards the hall. Sophie jumped up and threw her arms around him. Oh I was so worried when they took you away, she cried. Her voice trailed off. Joshua confessed, I’m sorry I shouted at you. You didn’t deserve it. Ooo Can I come? Heathcliff to...

CHAPTER 9 | The Hidden Kitchen
https://joshuasagehiddenkitchen.wordpress.com/chapter-9
Cooking is Magic, Chefs are Magicians, and young boy is in a lot of trouble. Can I stay behind? He asked his voice dripping with utter misery. They laughed at him. Stay here all by your lonesome? Why you’d be bored to tears, his mother chirped. Highly unlikely, he muttered. After he’d gotten out of the tub he protested again. Please. I don’t want to go. This time they only smiled. He asked a third time as they loaded up the wagon. I really don’t want to go. I’m staying! Isn’t it a lovely day? When the tr...
