Chapter 598: Embarrassing Theme
Eric's expression flashed with a hint of disdain, and Sikong Yao understood why Eric had shown disdain for them pastry chefs, and this was the reason, because no pastry chef had been able to satisfy him so far.
Although Sikong Yao has no good impression of Eric and has no intention of solving problems for him, she has the pride of becoming a professional pastry chef, and she can't be underestimated by Eric for anything.
Sikong Yao looked at Eric and said without showing weakness: "Owner Eric Zhuang, please don't give up so easily, I just feel a little difficult, but it doesn't mean that I don't have ideas." ”
Jean also nodded, and said without flinching: "Yes, in fact, I already have several ideas, don't you want to want to give it a try and then draw conclusions?" ”
Seeing that Sikong Yao and Jean both burst out with scorching battle intent, Eric was also slightly surprised, although he had a trace of hope for these two people, but when he saw the embarrassment of the two of them before, he had already given up the high hopes placed on these two people, but now the performance of the two of them made him a little surprised.
Eric said with some excitement, "Really? Do you guys have an idea? ”
Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Well, although I can't guarantee 100% success, I will never give up the honor of a professional pastry chef, Jean, what do you think?" ”
Sikong Yao looked at Jean, Gene is a very talented pastry chef, maybe he can think of ideas that he can't think of, Sikong Yao humbly asked him for advice.
Jean responded: "Dessert and wine pairing is not a simple thing, because dessert is not just a simple piece of food. It contains a wide variety of sweet foods in different styles, including fruits, pastries, nuts, chocolates, biscuits, and more. Each style of dessert needs to be paired with a suitable wine to achieve the best results. ”
Sikong Yao also nodded, she was glad that Jean was able to realize the real point, the reason why Eric failed before was actually that he did not figure out that it was not the Sangiovese grapes that could really represent the Tuscan characteristics, but their wines.
People will only say that Tuscany is a wine-making farm, but not that it is an orchard where grapes are grown. In fact, Eric got the food that really represented the Tuscan farmstead. I have never been able to get a satisfying dessert.
Sikong Yao nodded and said, "Jean, it's great that you can recognize the ingredients of a real Tuscan farm, and I really didn't misunderstand you." ”
Eric was said by Sikong Yao. I suddenly realized it. He'd been mistaken all along. That's why I haven't been able to get unsatisfactory desserts.
When he looked at Jean and Sikong Yao, Eric already had a look of expectation in his eyes at this time, maybe these two people. You can really make something different about dessert dishes.
Eric now thinks that maybe the Tuscan farmstead has been saved.
Jean was silent for a moment and said, "Still, there are some troubles. The principle of dessert and wine pairing is that the sweetness of the wine must match the sweetness of the dessert, or be sweeter than the dessert, which is not easy to control, and may require more than a dozen trials to come up with the best recipe. ”
Sikong Yao nodded and said: "Well, it's really hard to control, the wine personality of the Tuscan farmhouse is too strong, it will steal the flavor of other ingredients, in addition to the control of the quantity, there is also a degree of certainty, and the selection of desserts is also a problem, do you have any opinions?" ”
Sikong Yao had already chatted with Jean at this time, and he didn't have the heart to care about Eric on the side, for the topic between two dessert chefs who were immersed in dessert research, Eric couldn't interject, but he was inexplicably excited, please these two people are really a wise choice.
After some discussion, Sikong Yao put forward his own opinion, and combined with Jean's point of view, the last two people listed 21 desserts, and for each dessert, gave the most satisfactory pairing wine, and adjusted them one by one.
When it comes to wine, Jean obviously knows a little more than Sikong Yao, and he can always find the perfect wine to combine with dessert.
Sikong Yao proposed: "When it comes to wine-flavored desserts, rum cake will definitely be a good choice. ”
An ice cream-like dessert with a rum aroma that has both the texture of cake and the softness of ice cream, is very popular in Australia, and Sikong Yao adds: "It would be nice to switch to white wine." ”
Jean pondered for a moment and said, "Rum sorbets are usually made with rum wine in the cream, and it would be nice to replace them with a crisp and fruity white wine, but rum cakes are not popular in Italy. ”
Jean was silent for a moment, then jokingly said, "How about apple pie, apples and white wine go well together." ”
Sikong Yao smiled and said: "Come on, isn't apple pie only popular in your United States, the French also love to eat it, but the Italians don't seem to buy it." ”
Jean shrugged and said, "What do you think of the French dessert, the soufflé, sparkling wine with grape flavor." ”
Sikong Yao thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "No, I think we should probably focus on Italian desserts, although we want to create a different dessert, but we have to cater to the tastes of the guests, right?" ”
Jean nodded approvingly, and then said, "If it's an Italian dessert, it's a well-deserved tiramisu." ”
Sikong Yao shook her head slightly, she knew a lot more about tiramisu than Jean: "I don't want to, red wine and coffee are definitely not a good combination, eight poles can't be beaten together, I don't approve, there is no such innovation." ”
Jean also smiled wryly and said, "I also think this combination is a little strange. ”
Several proposals were rejected one after another, Jean and Sikong Yao were in an embarrassment, Eric can be said to have a problem, no wonder there were so many pastry chefs who broke their wings before, this is really not a simple errand.
After a moment of silence, Sikong Yao suddenly proposed, "How about the ice cream?" Italy's most famous dessert is gelato, where cream gelato and whiskey ice cream are the most prevalent flavors, and what makes gelato different is its taste and texture. Not only will the choice of milk bring lower fat, but also because there is less air stirred into it than ordinary ice cream, so the taste is smoother and thicker. ”
Jean thought for a moment, Sikong Yao's proposal was good, few people could resist the temptation of ice cream, and the flavors of the ice cream that melted in the mouth, from fresh lemon to Italian bitter apricot mousse, would make people can't help but shovel a spoonful.
The proposal seemed to be approved, and Jean approvingly, "Maybe you can try." ”
After finalizing a feasible plan, the two quickly began to discuss further.
Seeing these two people so tirelessly studying, Eric on the side also admired it very much, none of the pastry chefs he had found before had the same enthusiasm as the two of them.
Sikong Yao put forward his own opinion again, and asked Jean: "Before, you said that you can add rum to the cream, so how about making a cream ice cream, which is mainly made of cream, has a smooth and refreshing taste, and the style of red wine, what do you think?" ”
Jean was silent for a moment, and then said, "That's a bit like rum sorbet, it won't be stored for too long, it will melt away, it's more for the sake of the guests, we can't control when they eat ice cream." ”
"Hmm......" Sikong Yao pondered for a moment, and then said, "How about the yogurt ice cream?" Ice cream desserts made with yogurt flavor base and ice cream powder or slurry as raw materials are rich in live probiotics to help improve immunity, and yogurt has a lower freezing point and can be stored for a longer time. ”
Jean also denied: "That will produce ice residue that will affect the taste, and it will destroy the taste of the ice cream itself, and it will not work." ”
Sikong Yao sighed, although ice cream is a good choice, as a dessert that appears at the party, there are too many factors to consider.
Soft fruit and vegetable ice cream, which combines "fresh milk and fresh jam", was also rejected, and the last two set their sights on the sundae.
Sundaes are soft-serve ice creams made with milk, candy, juice, jam, cream, and other "ingredients", and the flavors are mouth-watering, and they are also known as semi-melted ice cream, which can solve the headache of customers who don't know when to take it.
The name sundae originated in the United States, a state believes that Sunday is the Sabbath, and ice cream is not allowed to be sold, so the ice cream merchant will cover the ice cream with fruit puree, fruits, etc., and name the sundae after the English Sunday phonetics.
This proposal seems to be more reliable, but it faces another problem, Sikong Yao asked, "How do you add red wine?" ”
Strawberry sundaes or chocolate sundaes are certainly coveted, but wine sundaes are not a good proposition, and the two fell silent again.
Jean smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't seem to work, it's really a headache." ”
Sikong Yao shrugged, although he swore to accept Eric's request, but the problem seemed to be a bit out of line, and he didn't come up with any good plans for most of the day, and the enthusiasm of the two of them faded a little, but after calming down and thinking about it, Sikong Yao felt that maybe he couldn't rush it, and he should look back and think, is ice cream the best choice? (To be continued......)
