Chapter 4
Erik replies, "You see, he is really spoiled by his wife; she cooks for him, but she also explains how to make it, so that he can impress us."
Maxim is almost angry, but he takes a deep breath, calms down, and says, "You know very well that I am divorced since a year, and that I do the cooking. When you live a separation, your life is turned upside down and there is a lot of adaptation to do. I was really tired of eating everyday out of cans.”
Mary asks, "Did you take cooking lessons?"
Maxim, "No, but I am part of a collective kitchen."
Mary adds, "With other deaf?"
Maxim replies, "No I’m the only deaf,"
Mary asks, "Tell me, what a collective kitchen is?"
Maxim, "It is an association of people coming together twice a month. The first time is for planning the meals, to find out where to find the best deals in your neighbourhood, and the second time around is to cook together."
