When Dedue approaches the stove, he gets a look in the pan and sees... that Annette either has managed to find a fish with very unusually colored flesh, or she has managed to add so much chili powder that she's stained the flesh crimson. For this to happen in so short a period of time, not after, say, hours of sitting in a pungent marinade, is impressive, probably. It's certainly something. He can smell the pungent aroma of toasting spices, and while it is normally a good thing, he's a little concerned about who's the ultimate recipient of Annette's experimental dish.
"I see," he replies. "You are correct in that pairing sweet and spicy elements can enhance the overall flavor of a dish. And you have done well with the vegetables."
Nothing seems to be technically wrong with the dish-- all of these elements could, theoretically, come together to produce something appealing. And, to the correct palette, it may already be something that's appealing. The question is whose unsuspecting tongue does Annette want to unleash this upon?
"I would be glad to try it and provide my opinion. May I ask who you intend to make this for? I recall that you are not particularly fond of spicy food yourself."
