Anime Chef on a Vast Salt Flat at Dusk

An energetic anime-style chef in a crisp white coat and tall hat stands on a vast salt flat under a bright blue sky. The white salt crust sparkles with reflections, cracked patterns extending to the horizon with distant mountains hazy in the heat. The chef has large expressive eyes, colorful hair, and a confident grin, wielding a gleaming frying pan that emits sizzling steam and floating herbs; salt crystals whirl around in glittering arcs. The scene uses bold cel shading, vibrant complementary colors (sky blue, pink-orange sunset, silver-white salt), and dynamic motion lines to convey whimsy and culinary adventure.
