The chef's missing book belongs to a follow-up request, separate from rescuing her and learning to cook. Progress through rebuilding the huge building in Sparkling Skylands, then return to Chef Dente in Rocky Ridges and check her next request.

        ## Prepare the kitchen before searching for the book

            - Accept the chef's request for a home and assemble Chef's kitchen: Cooking stove, Modern sink, Plain table, Stylish Cooking Pot, Cutting board and Plated food. Keep the arrangement together until it registers.

            - Talk to Chef Dente after finishing the kitchen and complete that request's dialogue. Then accept the follow-up about the book her former partner used.

            - Search the ground in front of Rocky Ridges' Pokémon Center. Inspect the book there to record the chef's diary, then return and finish the request conversation.

        ## If the book is missing

        Check that you accepted the book request rather than stopping after the kitchen was recognized. The diary is tied to that sequence; searching before the relevant request is active can leave you looking for an object that has not appeared yet.

        ## Treat the two requests as separate checkpoints

        A completed kitchen does not automatically complete the book search. Report the first task, listen to the follow-up and inspect the diary before returning. If the chef still offers no follow-up, verify your story progress and local Center restoration before repeatedly dismantling a kitchen that already works.
