Madeleine
This experienced chef has been running her cafe in Zephyr Town for a very long time. Madeleine loves baking and serving desserts and other sweet treats to the customers of her little cafe. Though she's getting up there in years, Madeleine does receive help from her granddaughter, Mina, and culinary-curious Derek. Her good friend Sonia often stops by the eatery, where the two ladies cheerfully discuss topics relating to their grandchildren.
Madeleine is easy to locate, either inside of her house/shop or at her outdoor market stall after the bazaar reaches Rank 4 (City Bazaar).

Sharpen Those Skills
Madeleine is curious about your produce. Would be a shame if you didn't cook it up! She will request that you use the kitchen to make 10 meals. It doesn't matter what you cook in your kitchen, as long as you use it to make something. The easiest would be Herb Salad (2 herbs), Herb Soup (2 herbs), or Boiled Egg (1 egg).
Return to Madeleine after cooking meals to receive the recipe for Mushroom Rice.
