"Approved!" the email announced. "Your recipe is featured in *Gastronomy Gazette*!" Sarah’s fingers trembled as she clicked. There, her recipe for lavender-infused shortbread, beautifully photographed. But the byline read, "Recipe by Chef Antoine Dubois." A wave of heat washed over her, and she had to take a moment to collect herself. She re-read the recipe, savoring each detail. It was *her* creation.

She immediately put on her favorite apron and started baking. She created a batch of the shortbread, arranging them artfully on a plate. She brought them to her neighbor's, chatting animatedly as she offered them. They raved about the taste, and Sarah could feel her cheeks getting hot. The world seemed bright and full of potential.
