Gisela:That smells wonderful!
Danny:This is my family's recipe.
The secret is in the combination of seasonings we use.
Gisela:I can see that.
You must have 30 different dried and fresh herbs and spices on this counter.
Danny:To get a bold flavor, we use a lot of aromatic seeds, barks, and roots.
Gisela:How much do you put in of each one?
Danny:Precise measurements aren't really necessary.
I put in a pinch of this and a dash of that.
I add them to taste.
Gisela:So getting the recipe wouldn't do me any good, huh?
Danny:I'm afraid not.
I learned how to make this in my mother's kitchen.
Gisela:Would you teach me if I volunteered to be your apprentice, doing all of your prep work?
Danny:That depends.
Gisela:On what?
Danny:On how quick you are with this potato peeler.
