Italian cuisineIn a formal meal, there are four main dishes "about", the first is the "main dish", which may be pasta, pizza and other common Italian dishes, or soups; The second is the main course, which is the highlight of the meal, which may be a meat dish, a fish dish, or an aquatic dish, and the third is a salad, usually fruit or ice cream, and most importantly, a "dessert", which is a pastry......

The reason why it is said that there are "about" four dishes is because there is not necessarily only one dish in each portion, for example, in some of the more luxurious meals, the "main course" part will have a meat dish and a fish dish respectively. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the four main courses, there is often an "appetizer" before the start of a meal.

For example, the "beef and fish double" that the judges just tasted belongs to the category of "appetizers".

As an appetizer, the portions of "beef and fish shuangpin" are very small, with only four slices of beef and four pieces of fish per plate......

Although the judges' task is to "taste", Carlo is confident in his own food, and if he does not control the amount of portioning, it will be difficult for the judges to judge normally...... You must know that the judges now have to taste "a meal" every hour, although it is only a tasting, but it can't stand a large amount.

After hooking the judges' appetite with a "beef and fish double" that was carefully considered from the temperature to the knife cut noodles to the sauce, and then the taste was harmonious, Chef Carlo's assistant chef put the plate with the lid in front of each judge, and then took the plate lid.

I saw that under the lid of the dinner plate, there was a small bowl of golden soup, and in the soup were three golden ravioli......

"Next, please try the first main course, 'Italian Lobster Wonton Soup'!" Chef Carlo said.

"Ravioli" is a small ravioli made from pasta, and the word "spaghetti" here is not noodles, but the ingredients from which pasta is made......

Pasta is made with high-gluten flour and mixed oil, egg mixture.

I've mentioned countless times how difficult it is to make ramen noodles after using egg wash and noodles, but now I use high-gluten flour with egg wash...... Even a small amount of oil cannot change the fact that this golden dough is extremely malleable!

Usually at this time, special tools, a kind of equipment to assist in rolling the dough are needed to press the dough, or to slightly sacrifice the taste of the skin and dilute some water into it......

But apparently "All? Blue", not as caring as Italian chefs, even this kind of gadget is ready, and Carlo is unlikely to accept it, sacrificing the taste of some ravioli...... Then you might as well not do it!

And Carlo chose to use the power of hand to replace the instrument!

In today's world where all sorts of auxiliary equipment are "invading" the kitchen, Carlo's basic skills are undoubtedly worthy of his position in the culinary world......

Although with this dough rolling the skin...... No, it should be said that it is "pressing the skin", which is much easier than pulling noodles, but it also shows its basic skills.

Of course...... Originally, in Chef Carlo's heart, he still hoped that this "seeing kung fu" craft could stop Liu Pleias's "imitation", because this step was prepared by Liu Pleiades before they entered, so at the beginning, Carlo was still looking forward to how annoyed Liu Pleiades would be when he found out that there was no rolling auxiliary equipment!

Coincidentally, when Carlo presented the dish, Liu Pleiades also reconciled the pasta......

Carlo had to admit that Liu Pleias's movements were more swift than him!

Carlo didn't even bother with the judges and let them taste it themselves, but looked in the direction of Liu Pleiades......

At this moment, I saw Liu Pleiasion simply flatten the golden pasta under the shocked eyes of Chef Carlo and the audience, and then used three fingers as the axis to make the dough turn!

Under centrifugation, the dough becomes dough and then only the thickness of the dough.

It was quicker and more uniform than Carlo...... What's more!

After that, Liu Yuexing's wrist and fingers flicked at the same time, causing the huge golden dough to fly, because the dough was thin enough, big enough and still rotating, the dough fell very slowly.

And Liu Pleiades was in this space, holding a narrow-bladed kitchen knife for cutting fish meat in each hand, facing the huge cotton dough that fell, and when the dough fell on the cooking table, it was already divided into "leftovers" and a round dough that could be wrapped in wontons.

The judges also had a feeling at this time, that is, the "Italian lobster chaos soup" they were tasting seemed to be being made right in front of them!

Although the gourmet's cooking skills are definitely not as good as those of real cooks, at this moment they instinctively feel that what Liu Pleiades is doing seems to be the bowl of lobster wonton soup in front of them!

Of course, it will take a while to know whether their intuition is accurate or not......

Italian Lobster Wonton Soup, the result of mixing the boiled ravioli with Boston lobster prepared by the Saifang, the lobster meat as the filling, the lobster shell, and finally the boiled ravioli mixed with the broth of the boiled lobster shell!

The shell of shrimp and crab contains the umami essence of aquatic cuisine, but it is not so easy to cook soup.

Because the rich umami is accompanied by a fishy smell......

It's like "taste sealing crab soup", which is to draw out all the umami and fishy smell in the crab shell and numb people's sense of taste!

When used to make soup, it is usually used to ensure that the umami overcomes the fishy smell, and do not use too many other ingredients, at most, add a few light fruits and vegetables to cook together......

Chef Carlo obviously has a greed for food far beyond that of ordinary chefs, and he chose to use the existing ingredients to completely detonate and reconcile the umami and fishy smell of lobster!

The taste of Xianchun instantly conquered the taste buds of the judges, although they knew that there was still a heavy "task" ahead, but the judges were still willful...... Drink the soup up!

Of course, the only thing that made Carlo feel that "fly in the ointment" was that the judges were in a state of selflessness while tasting his food, but the speed of entering the sage mode was obviously too fast! In the second half, the judges tasted his food while looking at Liu Pleiaus......

Although Carlo understands that the reason why the judges look at Liu Pleiades is ultimately because of their curiosity about "his cooking", this kind of thing that everyone seems to acquiesce to that young man can cook exactly the same food as him still makes Carlo feel awkward.

And the most awkward thing is that Chef Carlo himself has this intuition!

Next, the assistant chefs of the "Royal Italian Cuisine Team" presented the "main course" to the judges......

It looks like a plate of thinly sliced beef, and this white and yellowish "sauce" on top of it, unlike the beef in the appetizer "Beef and Fish Shuangpin" at the beginning, this time it is cooked beef!

"Sauce" can also be translated more directly as "sauce", but it is slightly different from the "sauce" commonly found in Chinese cuisine......

"Sauce" refers to the "sauce" that has no fermentation process and is liquid, the more common ketchup and salad dressing, which are completely crushed to a semi-liquid level of "sauce" that cannot be seen from the outside.

"Next up is the first 'main course', veal ......," said Chef Carlo with some absent-mindedness.

Now that the cooking was done, he had time to think about something else...... Like thinking about some bastard who broke his confidence!

Apparently, Liu also knew what the sauce on his "veal" was, and was already using a blender to crush some of the tuna meat......

Veal is cooked by Carlo using spices that can be found in the competition, perfectly proportioned, thinly sliced and sprinkled with sauce.

This sauce is made from the most basic egg yolk liquid, with olive oil, sugar, lemon juice, onion juice and tuna puree!

Once again, the beef and tuna meat are intertwined.

At this moment, the sweet and sour fish sauce, as well as the mellow beef, brought them a completely different taste enjoyment at the same time, but also made them reminisce about their appetite after tasting the "appetizer"!

For this meal, Chef Carlo has prepared two "main dishes", including "veal" and "tuna with tomato sauce" in addition to the meat dish.

Beneath the rich red broth is a piece of thornless tuna meat......

Tomatoes are the life of Italian cuisine, and the Aldini brothers often use tomato juice in their dishes, and Chef Carlo has taken the "stew" that Italian cuisine is best at to the extreme, so that the taste of tomato soup seeps into the tuna meat.

And when you chew it, the original deliciousness of the tuna will come out from the flavor of the tomato sauce, which can be said to be the three flavors of "stewed......

This is followed by a pulp ice cream made entirely from seasonal fruits served on the field, as well as milk, aseptic egg liquid, nuts and ...... Do not add a drop of water other than the water in the ingredients.

In the ice cream, you can also taste the pieces of pulp that are intentionally left behind.

The last dish is an Italian classic...... Tiramisu!

Among the ingredients provided by the Sai side, there are coffee beans, cheese, and eggs...... However, there is no "gelatin", a gel extracted from animal bones or fish, which is crucial in the production of tiramisu.

However, Chef Carlo also has his own solution, which is to use tuna gelatin to extract collagen as a raw material for tiramisu...... Substitute for gelatin and mix with hot cheese.

Because of the extra fishy smell and the other ingredients of tiramisu, Carlo also made some adjustments.

"Harmony" is originally Carlo's specialty, and this gelatinous version of tiramisu, under Carlo's conditioning, not only has no sense of disobedience, but also has a first-class flavor......

Whether it is the bitter aroma of coffee or fish gelatin, they all merge into one at this time.

As the finish of an Italian meal, it can be regarded as just right.

At the end, the judges also gave a score of 38.98.

The total score of the team competition is 40 points, and the 38.98 points have surpassed the 38.92 points obtained by the "100 Stars and Three Heroes" who appeared on the third day before Chef Carlo, which is the highest score so far!

If it had been before, Carlo would have been a little proud when he knew the news, and he had defeated the old rival of the "Hundred Stars and Three Englands......

Even if it's only 0.06 points, it's already rare for a chef of their level.

But now Chef Carlo was a little distracted when he heard the news, and he was very "indifferent" after knowing it.

Of course, the judges also smiled bitterly at this, and they could naturally see that Carlo was not really "indifferent", but that most of the attention was now on the "Germinate team"!

Even although Carlo himself does not admit it, the reason why his team performance will surpass the old opponent of the "Baixing Sanying Team" is half because of his "deep soup pot" cooking heart blending ability, in this kind of competition with limited ingredients and spices, he has played a certain advantage, and the other half is because of Liu Pleiaus's encouragement......

What does a chef, and a successful chef, do when he finds out that someone is imitating him?

Of course, it is to force yourself to do better, and see how others imitate it......

Because of Liu Pleixing, Chef Carlo did not leave immediately after the review, but stood still in the exit of the contestants and looked at the "Germinate team...... To be precise, look at Liu Pleiasion's movements!

didn't know his behavior, which made Liu Yuxing breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Pleiades is really worried that he will leave immediately after the review!

Because the "Kitchen Heart in the Mirror" reproduced by Super Vision is a one-time use, if you want to use it all the time, you must copy it from time to time.

After Liu Pleiades awakens his "super hearing", even if the chef is not in the cooking state, he can "see" the other party's kitchen heart and activate the super visual replication ability, but in the end, the other party must be within the range of his super vision and super hearing......

If Chef Carlo leaves, he is in danger of running out of cooking in the future, then it will be embarrassing!

Carlo didn't know that he had inadvertently done Liu Pleiades a favor again, and at this time he was standing outside the field, and he felt more intuitively that the young man in front of him exuded the same kitchen atmosphere as himself!

"Is it my 'deep soup pot' like a kitchen heart?"

"That's not right! How could it be so coincidental......"

"His heart should be ...... Copy? ”

Like the speculation of the people in the Far Moon Hotel after Liu Pleiades had just awakened their supervision, Carlo also mistakenly thought that Liu Pleiades' kitchen heart was "copying" at this moment, and did not realize that one of his sensory abilities was at this time.

Watching Liu Pleiades completely reproduce his own cooking one by one, Carlo's mood seems to be in the company of canines......

And Andre, the leader of the "Central Food Team" on the side, because at the beginning, like Fuyumi Mizuhara and Hinata Himako, did not pay attention to the dishes presented by Chef Carlo, and did not have the heart to separate the voices in the audience.

Therefore, when looking at Liu Pleiades, Andre just felt that Liu Pleiades' cooking skills were as superb as rumored, and he didn't see anything else......

So in Andre's heart, while lamenting Liu Pleias's solid foundation and superb cooking skills, he was also a little disdainful.

On the contrary, he still laughed at Liu Pleiades in his heart for being "arrogant and arrogant", and fell out with other team members when it was already unfavorable.

As for the virtuosity?

In Andre's view, the chefs who really stand at the pinnacle of the culinary world are very skilled, and the difference between "exquisite" and "more exquisite" and "very exquisite" is not big, and the "inspiration" that really brings the gap is "inspired"!

Of course, they don't need inspiration because they're using naginata thistle inspiration......

If Liu Pleiades paid attention to them, he would find that each of them now possessed a part of the "demon", just like the foursome of the Central Food Agency of the Far Moon Academy.

The so-called "inspiration" refers not only to the overall inspiration of the recipe, but also to the details, every swing of the knife, every fire control...... The near-intuitive judgment required!

That's right, it's the essence of God......

However, after Liu Pleiades now launches the absolute replication of "super vision", he can temporarily copy the essence of the other party!

The only defect of the original copy is the strength of the copied kitchen heart, which also depends on Liu Pleiaus's will, which can be regarded as a "super-vision" copy, a "mold" of the kitchen heart, and you need to fill it with your own will......

But now it is no longer a problem, Liu Pleiades has not used the "mirror kitchen heart" for a long time, and it was only in the experiment a few days ago that he found that the "sun" absorbs solar energy, not only the sun kitchen heart itself can be used, but also can play the role of solar power panels.

Pour the absorbed energy into the "mold" until it is full!

Therefore, no matter how big the kitchen heart mold copied by Liu Pleiades, he can use its power completely......

The only possible problem is that the "Kitchen Heart in the Mirror" is a mirror after all, but because Chef Carlo is very cooperative, he stays on the sidelines, so Liu Pleias's only worries are gone!

Carlo used to work with five people, but they had time waiting for each other, and then deducting the time to agree on recipes and assign tasks in the first place...... The real use of "120 minutes" is only about 85 to 90 minutes, and a small part of it is spent on the "decoration" step, and Carlo still has some time waiting for the results of the shallow processing, so he is not always at full speed......

In addition to the deduction and cooking area at the beginning, Liu Pleiades used 100% of the time for more than 110 minutes!

In addition, in terms of its own efficiency, Liu Pleiades crushed Carlo and also crushed the four chefs, so Liu Pleiades, who has been "dancing with dragons and phoenixes", finally completed the preparation of all dishes two minutes before six o'clock......

With the bell ringing at six o'clock, the voice of the team master of ceremonies rang: "It's time for the 'Germinate team' to cook!" Please 'Germinate Team' and start serving the ......"

She also doesn't know who is the chef and who is the chef in the structure of the "Germinate team", so she directly uses the "Germinate team" to refer to all the staff!

Liu Pleiades looked back at the other four people, and then nodded to each other.

I saw Liu Yuexing being the first to go up and personally served five plates of "Cattle and Fish Shuangpin" to the five judges......

In order to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, the judges coughed dryly and asked, "Ahem, what is this dish of Liu Pleiades?" ”

"As you can see...... This is 'Cattle and Fish Double'. ”

“……”

What the hell is Cattle and Fish Double? What is the famous dish? Why should this be a look of "cattle and fish double"! Can't you just take a separate name?

"Okay, it doesn't really matter what the name is, let's try it first." Another judge couldn't help but say.

Judging from the appearance, they even felt that even the shape of the sauce poured on the beef slices was exactly the same as Carlo's "Beef and Fish Shuangpin" before, but in the hearts of the judges, they still did not think that Liu Pleiades could imitate Chef Carlo's cooking just by looking at it, and only looking at half of the cooking process!

You must know that Chef Carlo is one of the chefs closest to the bosses of the major cooking organizations......

However, at the next moment of the entrance of "Cattle and Fish Shuangpin", the judges finally found that sometimes emotional intuition is more reliable than rationality!

Same!

As first-class gourmets, their recognition of their cuisine is undoubtedly extremely accurate......

First-class gourmets can tell the difference between the exact same recipe if it is made by different people.

The most basic thing is to ask two chefs you are familiar with to cook with the same recipe, and you can distinguish them as the foundation for stepping into a first-class gourmet!

And yet now...... They even feel like they've stepped back in time and are tasting Chef Carlo's food again!

Temperature, cut texture, sauce...... It's all exactly the same!

"Here's the first 'main dish' of the main meal, lobster wonton soup......"

Liu Pleiades said and brought up the five plates covered with the lid of the plate, and after the judges opened the lid of the plate themselves, they found that there was indeed golden soup and golden ravioli......

Well, because Chef Carlo prepared the smallest portion before, and now Liu Pleiades is the same, and the two of them together do not have a normal one-person portion, so the judges haven't tasted enough before, and they can't help but look forward to it at this time.

After the ravioli and soup were in the mouth, the judges realized again...... Same!

What if this wasn't "All? Blue", and if they had seen Liu Pleiasion's cooking process with their own eyes before, the five judges even suspected that they had been tricked...... Can't it all be done by Carlo, right?

Veal, tuna in tomato sauce, ice cream in juice, gelatin tiramis......

Less than an hour ago, the dishes that the judges had just tasted were re-enacted......

Although the judges have not yet given a comment, looking at their expressions, Chef Carlo on the side can guess the effect!

Before, it was just a strong premonition, and at this moment...... It seems to have become a reality!

"Andrey! What are you doing? "There were some discordant voices coming from the Nexus Food Team.

Andrei, who was dumbfounded, accidentally used the egg yolk liquid as egg white liquid!

Low-level error ......

André couldn't help but be distracted, although he hadn't carefully read the dishes presented by Chef Carlo, at least he heard the name.

After Liu Pleiades presented two or three dishes, Andre finally understood that the cries from the audience were not heckling......

In the conference room on the top floor of the headquarters of the "Association for the Development of the Americas", Nagi cut thistle felt bad when she saw Liu Pleias's cooking process from the broadcast before, and when she saw the judges' expressions, her face was already cold, until now the "Central Food Team" had an accident and needed to recook a dish or change the overall recipe.

The latter doesn't need to think about it, the people of the "Central Food Team" have little self-judgment ability, and it is the result of Nagi Cutting Thistle teaching them all the possibilities of the exam questions!

Looking at the appearance of Nagi thistle, even his henchman Ruishan Zhizu sat aside and didn't dare to speak first.

Nagi thistle finally couldn't help but say, "Okay, that's all for today...... Let's adjourn! ”

After that, he turned off the TV and was the first to walk out......
