This is an advanced mixed conditional using inversion for a past condition and a present result.

"Had I realized" is a formal, inverted way to say "If I had realized" (unreal past).

"Wouldn't be" is used for the main clause because the chef's frantic rewriting is happening "right now" (unreal present continuous).
