"Strength and fame don't have to be linked. To be honest, I don't think there are many young chefs in U18 who can compare to you. Mimol tightened his tie, the flush on his face faded, and his face gradually returned to normal.

"Why didn't Senior Enoch watch the game?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.

"Ahem...... In fact, although Mr. Enoch is keen to compete with his opponents, he does not like to run a restaurant. If he's still a student, that's perfectly fine. But now, he's the chef and wants to put the restaurant's business first. If a chef leaves the restaurant and competes against other people, what is the situation of the restaurant...... It's going to be tough, especially since the goal of this restaurant is still a three-star restaurant, and it goes without saying how important the chef is. ”

Zheng Ke nodded, unless there is a suitable helper, no restaurant can lack a chef.

The role of the chef in the restaurant is not only to cook exquisite dishes and manage other chefs, from the design of dishes to the management and operation of the restaurant, all of which are responsible for the chef, and some chefs of large restaurants, such as Milne, put more energy on the operation of the restaurant, rather than cooking dishes or formulating dishes.

This shows the importance of the chef.

But like Enoch, who is the head chef of a restaurant, but thinks about being lazy all the time, it's really gaffeting.

"Since Senior Enoch likes to compete with other people, why can't he run the restaurant well?" Zheng Ke asked puzzled.

"Because running a restaurant is a hassle. Mimo sighed, "Compare yourself with others, you just need to work hard to cook delicious dishes." But running a restaurant is not that simple, and good cooking is only part of it. When he really became the head chef, the trivial matters of the restaurant made him tired of coping, so he became tired. Otherwise, with Mr. Enoch's talent, 'Chengyue' would be at least a two-star restaurant. ”

"Chengyue" is Enoch's restaurant.

Hearing Mimo's words, Zheng Ke and Catherine glanced at each other.

Enoch is undoubtedly a culinary genius.

But the more smooth sailing people are, the more they struggle after encountering setbacks.

Enoch is a great example of this, and his experience illustrates that competing in cooking competitions is completely different from running a restaurant.

"You can't be like this, right?" Zheng Ke turned his head to look at Catherine.

"I have five three-star restaurants at home, and even if I don't deliberately learn how to be a chef, I will know a little bit about it after so long of being exposed to it. Catherine pursed her lips, dissatisfied with Zheng Ke questioning her.

"By the way, listening to you just now, the senior's father doesn't seem to support him in the application. Zheng Ke said.

"The same cannot be said. Mr. Enoch's ancestors were also chefs, but they didn't have a big store, and they couldn't compare to Chef Milne. As a result, there is no network needed to run a high-end restaurant. This time, it was also an opportunity for Mr. Enoch, but now that the restaurant is just getting on track, the restaurant can't do without him. ”

Hearing Mino say this, Zheng Ke also had a general understanding of Enoch's situation.

Despite his high talent, Enoch did not run a restaurant that was as high as it should have been, which made him resistant to becoming a chef.

From this point of view, Everton's recruitment is indeed an opportunity for him to change himself, and now it depends on how he performs.

At this time, the big screen in the lounge finally appeared in the examination room.

A conference room was transformed into a classroom, with projectors, whiteboards, lecterns, desks, and ...... These teaching tools are all available. Behind the desks, there are five judges and teachers. Among them, two people have met before, one is the former three-star chef Mena, and the other is the gourmand Manfred.

Enoch clicked on the courseware and bowed deeply to the five judges.

"Hello teachers, I'm the head chef of the 'Chengyue' restaurant, Enoch Coffin, and the topic I drew is 'seafood'. There are many types of seafood, and there are many ways to handle fish. Whether it is Chinese cuisine or French cuisine, there are a large number of related dishes, and in Japan, the handling of seafood is also very particular, such as sashimi, sushi, and other dishes are very famous. Of course, I won't talk about any of this here—on the one hand, because I don't know Chinese cuisine or Japanese cuisine.

"On the other hand, even if it's about French cuisine, I can't cover it in just 20 minutes, so that's what I'm going to talk about in the meantime—"

Speaking of which, Enoch pressed the PPT flip pen, and the picture projected by the projector suddenly changed, and a fish appeared on the plate, with a line written underneath - grilled fish.

"Disclaimer in advance, this part of what I'm talking about is the practice of Western food. As for the methods used in Chinese cuisine or Japanese cuisine, I will not go into it here. ”

Zheng Ke in front of the TV saw the "grilled fish" and rubbed his chin.

There are many ways to grill fish, for example, Kobayashi Gentian cooked a sweet sea bream Wakasa grilled dish in the qualifying round. Not to mention Chinese dishes, there are many ways to grill fish.

For such a common topic, what method would Enoch use to attract the teacher's attention?

Zheng Ke looked at the big screen intently, and Enoch also started his own trial lecture.

"Roasting is a relatively common method, but not every type of fish is suitable for 'grilling'. Because the temperature of the oven is very high, it is possible to become like this if you are not careful. ”

Enoch flipped a page of PPT, and a plate of fish with a somewhat dark color appeared on the PPT.

"So, a lot of times, chefs use 'grill' to cook larger fish or thicker pieces. Of course, small fish can also be grilled, which is a test of the chef's level. I suggest that if you want to eat delicious grilled fish, you must go to the star restaurant 'Cheng Yue'. ”

Zheng Ke, who was listening intently to Enoch's trial lecture, suddenly heard the advertisement and looked at Mimo incredulously.

Is that okay?

Mimo covered his face weakly, and this part was added by Enoch temporarily.

Next, Enoch began to introduce the method of grilling fish.

Grilled fish can be roughly divided into two types, one of which is "naked" grilling, that is, the fish is directly placed on a baking sheet, put some water and spices, and grilled. The second is to wrap a "coat" on the surface of the fish, and the commonly used materials are tin foil, oil paper, and relatively large leaves, such as banana leaves, and an uncommon material, sea salt.

Carol once cooked a dish of "anchovy sauce salt-grilled sea bream" in a duel with Kobayashi Gentian, and used "salt grilled" at that time, and later after learning in Lanji, he deepened his impression, so Zheng Ke is also familiar with this method.
