Who stole my Larousse Gastronomique?

The worst day in my life, I lost my Larousse Gastronomique, it is an encyclopedia of gastronomy. Its the first cooking session for the freshers after a few sessions of demonstrations. I was happy with the kashmiri menu, the same happiness were with the students. Being the first session I was not verymuch concerned with the dress code and observation. Everyone knew the menu, and stood without knowing the recipe.

The briefing was a long one, which left no doubt in them about the recipe, the menu was Kashmiri pulao, Mutton rogan josh and Phirnee. As soon as the table was alloted for the students to cook, my mind was covered with the flavour of chocolate and cocoa. With an eye on the kashmiri menu, I started preparing my favourite Brownies. The recipe was simple and my own version, melt hundred grams of butter and mix in two hundred grams of sugar,mix in two beaten eggs, add fifty grams of cocoa and hundred grams of refined flour sieved along with half teaspoon of baking powder, add one teaspoon of chocolate essence, pour in the mould and bake at onehundred and seventy five degree celcius for thirty minutes.After thirty minutes , I was happy with the outcome, three bars of Brownies with the awesome color and flavor, which created a nostalgia in me.

Students were ready with the presentation, on one table the pulao was mashed and on the other the mutton was dried up, looking at this my Brownies happiness faded quickly, but being the fisrt cooking session, what the students prepared is not bad at all. They created a good impression, I started planning more activities for them in the days to come. All off a sudden ,everything shattered, including their fisrt impression, when someone stole my Larousse Gastronomique. Than the person who stole it, I am ashamed of having them in my cooking session.
