Da: I det travle køkken på den middelalderlige restaurant, var der en duft af krydderier og stegt kød.
En: In the busy kitchen of the medieval restaurant, there was a scent of spices and roasted meat.

Da: "Magnus, vi må være kreative i aften," sagde hun.

Da: Magnus, hendes sous chef, nikkede ivrigt.
En: Magnus, her sous chef, nodded eagerly.

Da: "Jeg har en idé," svarede han.

Da: Pludselig gik en af deres vigtigste retter galt.
En: Suddenly, one of their main dishes went wrong.

Da: Stegen brændte næsten på.
En: The roast almost burned.

Da: "Magnus!"
En: "Magnus!"

Da: råbte Freja, hendes stemme lidt panisk.
En: shouted Freja, her voice a bit panicked.

Da: Men Magnus var allerede i gang.
En: But Magnus was already in action.

Da: Hans hurtige hænder havde reddet kødet i sidste sekund.

Da: Han lavede hastigt en ny marinade og smurte den over stegen.

Da: Det blev rigtigt godt, og duften fik Freja til at smile.
