Dennitzan Cultural Blending

While Chives prepares open sandwiches for lunch in the Hooligan, he asks Kossara Vymezal about cultural blending on Dennitza. We already know that:

Trohdwyr, an ychan/zmay/Merseian, had been chief gamekeeper to three generations of Vymezals;

Kossara learned Serbic from her parents, Anglic from a governess and archaic, mutated Eriau from Trohdwyr's family;

she also learned to walk by clinging to his tail.

Now she remembers:

Trohdwyr, who has died;

her father bugling an old Merseian war-song;

her mother singing an Eriau lullaby;

herself and her deceased fiance in an ychan boat on the Black Ocean in snow and ice when a sea beast broached;

herself on a gravbelt flight, glimpsing a campfire and landing to be gruffly greeted by great green hunters...

Suddenly, Kossara is not hungry...

Kaor, Paul!

I remember the conversation Chives and Kossara had. And I was reminded of Chives mentioning that chef-machine. I wonder how exactly such devices work?
