Art style: Cinematic Realistic. A high-end, contemporary kitchen with polished black granite countertops and warm, under-cabinet lighting casting a soft glow. In the foreground, a rustic wooden cutting board holds a variety of fresh ingredients: vibrant red heirloom tomatoes, crisp green lettuce, and a glass bowl of golden caramelized onions. The background shows a professional gas range with a heavy cast-iron skillet. The camera is a wide-angle shot from a slightly elevated position, capturing the organized beauty of the prep station. The color palette is dominated by rich earth tones, deep reds, and the cool silver of stainless steel, creating a sophisticated and professional atmosphere. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Chef Marco: A distinguished professional chef in his late 40s with a focused and passionate demeanor. He has short, neatly styled salt-and-pepper hair, a clean-shaven face with faint laugh lines around his eyes, and a sturdy, athletic build. He is wearing a crisp, tailored white double-breasted chef’s jacket with his name embroidered in black silk. The background is a blurred high-end restaurant kitchen with copper pans hanging from the ceiling and warm ambient lighting. The style is a clean, sharp portrait with a shallow depth of field, capturing a sense of culinary expertise and authority.
