”Is it recording?” Zessel’s face appeared too close to the camera, covering the screen completely. It was his first time recording a video, meaning that the half-Arkanian had no idea of how that stuff worked. A voice answered him, making the boy immediately get away from the device. “It’s? Kriff, we need to cut that part later when editing.” the Padawan grimaced when the same voiced sound in the background. "Sorry, Mrs. Nyahan. I'll not say it again."
The scene got black, with the image appearing seconds later. Now Zessel was seated on a bench, wearing a white chef hat and a matching uniform. “Hi, everyone! Welcome to the first video of the Zessel Zesty Creations! I’m the Zesty! NO!” he screamed, before the screen got black again.
Another moment and Zessel reappeared on the screen, with the same clothes and position from early. “Hi, everyone! Welcome to the first video of the Zessel Zesty Creations! I’m Zessel!” he smiled, now it was right. “I'm half-Arkanian and fourteen years old. I love baking, and discovered this talent due to my therapy. I do it because I have ADHD.”
“I decided to make that channel because everyone likes my recipes and my therapist told me that it could inspire other children like me to find their own talents. I used to think that I couldn’t do anything right, but discovering that I’m good at baking helped me improve in several other things. Like in meditation.” Zessel laughed, because he still thought that it was really boring. “So, I hope that it helps.”
“Well, today we are going to make a recipe that I made last year for a Life Day Party. It was white chocolate dipped ginger cookies.” he showed a plate full of said cookies, which had prepared early. “I’ll also teach you how to add the decoration. Pretty cute, right?” then Zessel remembered something, gesturing to someone behind the camera. “First, I want to present to you Seven. He is the droid that will help me in the kitchen.” the COO-series droid that had been borrowed by him appeared on the screen, before walking away.
“We are going to start with the ingredients.” in the sequence appeared a scene with their images, while Zessel’s voice named each one. Number of the portions necessary would appear over them.
After presenting the ingredients, Zessel went to work on the preparation of the dough. He grabbed a bowl and whisked some of them together. Once it was done, the Padawan wrapped it with plastic and left it in a fridge to cool. Then, he retrieved a dough that was already cool enough.
Obviously, he made more dough early.
While he modeled the dough in circles, Zessel turned to look at the camera. “You can shape it in any form that you want, but for the decoration that we are going to make it needs to be a circle.” after finishing, the half-Arkanian, with Seven’s help, used the oven. The cookies stayed there for ten minutes, being let to cool down after that time. He used that time to clean the work surface from the flour that covered it and to prepare the white chocolate ganache.
With the cookies cool enough, Elidan showed the result to the came. “Now, it's time for my favorite part. Decoration!” he smiled, before starting to dip the cookies in the ganache and leaving them to cool before adding the colorful decoration. Later, the Padawan added them in a tray.
Once the recipe was finished, Zessel was back to his seat and looking at the camera. “Well, it’s what we have for today. I want to thank everyone from the Youth Center that allowed me to use the kitchen for my videos.” if wasn’t for the center, the half-Arkanian would have never found a good therapist. After all, the Healers of the Order were busy with missions these days and he needed continuous appointments.
“Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe! You can even leave suggestions of recipes for me to try! See you next time.” Zessel smiled and waved to the camera, before the screen went black.
