Chapter 167: Guidance
"You should have some certainty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Looking at Li Xiaoran, Erina Nagikiri on the side spoke.
Although Li Xiaoran just said that he wanted to go to a cooking institution to try it, with Erina's understanding, since he said so, he should be a little sure that he could pass the three-star assessment.
Looking at Li Xiaoran who was leaning against the window, Erina couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart, how long has it been since she has become so strong.
These days with Li Xiaoran, although I can feel that Li Xiaoran is slowly improving every day, Erina never thought that Li Xiaoran would have to participate in the assessment of a three-star chef.
"Well, I feel that my strength is no longer weak, and I feel that it is time for me to march to a higher level." Hearing Erina's words, Li Xiaoran nodded his head gently.
At present, after experiencing the restaurant challenge with Yoshidaya, it can be said that he is already the top group of two-star chefs.
It's just that Li Xiaoran still wants to try to see if he can go further, such as passing the three-star chef assessment in the first step.
Most of the international cooking competitions have strict star requirements, for example, you must reach a three-star chef in order to be eligible to be notified by the culinary organization and be eligible to register for the competition.
As for international cooking events that don't require star ratings, Li Xiaoran did have a little bit of interest at the beginning, but at present, some mainstream two-star competitions with high gold content, such as the Bocuse two-star event, and the European cuisine rookie event, these internationally well-known events have already been held, and the time to hold them again is still a year later, Li Xiaoran has no intention of maintaining the title of two-star chef all the time, and waits until these events and then participates.
As for some cooking events in ordinary countries and regions, these are not much challenging for Li Xiaoran, and their own gold content is not high.
Instead of spending energy to participate in these low-value competitions, Li Xiaoran felt that it was better to run the restaurant well, or to study his own cuisine, which was more suitable for him.
"You're so confident." Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Erina Nagi couldn't help but shake her head gently.
Although Li Xiaoran is now regarded as the top star-level batch among the two-star chefs, it has not been a year since he was promoted to a two-star level, and the speed of this progress is too fast.
"Because I have this strength, let's not talk about my business, let's talk about your cooking." smiled, and then Li Xiaoran turned his head towards Yi Shihui and the others.
"Is there something wrong with our cooking?"
Seeing Li Xiaoran turn the topic to himself and the others, Yi Sehui and the others couldn't help but turn pale, stood up straight and looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.
Including Jiu Ji Zhaoji, he is all serious, if he still has a little doubt about Li Xiaoran's strength for a long time, then the previous mapo tofu has completely made him worship.
"Big problem, no, although the cooking skills are still inferior, but these things are not something that can be mastered at a moment, and the more important point is that the details of your cooking, although you used to be the top ten masters of the far moon, but I have to say that your cooking is far worse than Si Yingshi."
Turning his head sideways, Li Xiaoran said to everyone.
The devil is in the details, and so is the recipe, the details determine the taste of the recipe.
"There are no mistakes in your cooking, the handling of ingredients, and the cooking, but have you really considered the choice of tableware, the accompanying drinks, and the pairing of subsequent dishes?"
Looking at the three people standing in front of him, Li Xiaoran said slowly.
The three of them, like the priest who was in the school at the beginning, made a very important mistake, or a detail that most ordinary chefs didn't think about.
The combination of ingredients and tableware, the pairing of drinks, and the subsequent dishes, and even the details of the origin of the ingredients.
Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, several people also understood what they were wrong.
"From now on, you should go back and read the book for me, remember the characteristics of all the ingredients, what can be matched with them, and what will lead to changes in texture and taste, and after figuring these things out, you are thinking about how to innovate the cuisine."
Looking at the people in front of him, Li Xiaoran spoke.
The rest Li Xiaoran didn't dare to say, but at least in terms of understanding the ingredients, he had dabbled in most of the ingredients through systematic learning, and knew their characteristics and so on.
How can a chef succeed in developing a new style of cuisine without even knowing the characteristics of the ingredients themselves?
After letting Issehui and them leave the restaurant, Erina, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't help but say to Li Xiaoran: "You are really strict, but their cooking level is already very strong." ”
If it's the cuisine that Yishihui is good at, and even their unique nirvana cuisine, they have already surpassed Liu Quansheng's level.
"It's already good, but if they can be really nuanced, there will be some room for improvement." Hearing Erina's words, Li Xiaoran shook his head lightly and said.
Isshiki's cooking is indeed very good, but it is unrealistic to improve the skills of cooking and the understanding of the cuisine itself in a short period of time.
If you want to improve your cooking skills again in a short period of time, you can only start with the most overlooked details.
And for a chef, if you want to truly become a qualified chef, then you must pay attention to this aspect.
"And the details should be more important to you, right?" Li Xiaoran looked at Erina Nagi and said with a smile.
Erina, who has the tongue of the gods, has begun to re-examine how she should use the tongue of the gods under her own subtlety, not only to check the lack of food, but also to discover the excellent side of the cooking.
For Erina, this aspect of the details is even more important, even the average food critic and chef may not be able to distinguish the food may not match the tableware and cause a change in taste, but Erina Nagikiri, who has the tongue of the gods, can easily distinguish it.
didn't speak, hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Erina nodded lightly.
Everyone knows the impact of this subtlety on cooking, but how many people can actually do it?
"By the way, you don't know yet, Yoshidaya has gone out of business."
Erina Nagikiri said a piece of news that surprised Li Xiaoran. (To be continued.) )
