She had opened the wine and invited him, making light chat as she finished up the menu was entirely vegan. To start was a simple potato cream soup with caramelized leeks, then bacon wrapped scallops with a paprika sauce and beetroot dusting served with tempura vegetables and a beautiful miso risotto, also dusted with the beetroot.
There was no reason to hide herself, so when he stepped into the kitchen she had plenty of extra 'arms'. Everything smelled rich and flavourful. Even as she cooked, dishes were being washed and dried and put away. Vines retrieved utensils and stirred the risotto and retrieved the pineapple from the sous vide for dessert.

He tasted his dessert and closed his eyes to let the taste wash over him for a moment. "Delicious," he complimented. "And the wine is remarkable too. Not as sweet as I expected."

Those rich, earthy pieces hiding under the sugar," she smiled. She had plenty more opinions on wine, but for now she restrained herself.
