Chapter 673: Cinderella in the Cake
The roulette wheel began to fly, and the pendulum on the top of the needle made a continuous clicking sound because of the impact, as if to hold people's hearts tightly, as the power potential energy decreased, the final decision on the dessert project was Brittany!
Marco seems to be very surprised by this topic, although the probability of appearing is one in ten, but this topic seems to be a little difficult to deal with, compared to other popular desserts, which are familiar to the whole world, this Brittany is indeed a lot more difficult.
But since this is the end result of the roulette wheel, everyone must also abide by it unconditionally, and Marco no matter how difficult this dessert is, he only knows that if anyone can't present a Brittany that satisfies him, then the restaurant to which the chef belongs is ready to go out of business at any time.
This time, the organizers of the Paris Food Festival are formed by the French royal family and the French gastronomic association, as long as they want, they can immediately erase the status of a restaurant in France, no one can doubt this, as long as the judges judge it to be an unpalatable dessert, not only the restaurant will go out of business, but the pastry chef's life will be over.
Sikong Yao looked at Yao Xiaoyu involuntarily, her expression seemed to be a little dignified, but she thought about it, after all, this Brittany is an authentic French dessert, and it is also an outstanding masterpiece from the French royal family.
It would be better if Bai Xia came to deal with this duel. After all, with his ability, as well as his experience in the French royal industry, he is definitely capable of this dessert.
As if sensing Sikong Yao's concern, Yao Xiaoyu turned his face sideways and threw a smile, signaling that Sikong Yao didn't need to worry.
Sikong Yao was naturally very pleased with Yao Xiaoyu's strength, after all, if she came, she wouldn't even know the formula of Brittany, and at this time, she could only cheer for Yao Xiaoyu silently.
However, at this moment, Lukka suddenly burst out laughing. It screamed like a wild boar. It was simply a sonic attack on the ears, and at the same time, Yao Xiaoyu's expression seemed to flash a trace of solemnity?
It turned out to be the restaurant where Luca was located. It is also a Michelin-starred restaurant. Although there is only one. But its strength is also undoubted, after all, a restaurant that can get a Michelin star will definitely not be bad in all aspects. The chef who can work in it must also be outstanding, and this Lukka seems to have almost been dug into the corner of the wall by silver coral before, which shows that this person's strength is not bad.
And the reason why Yao Xiaoyu was embarrassed was because she knew that Luca's restaurant won the Michelin star with a Brittany, and the signature of their restaurant was precisely the dessert to be compared this time, so Yao Xiaoyu was in big trouble.
Sikong Yao's face also changed when he heard this, although this Luka looks like five big and three thick, but he can't underestimate the enemy at all, a person's attainments in cooking skills can never be judged from the appearance.
Thinking that it would be a hard battle, Sikong Yao not only pinched a cold sweat for Yao Xiaoyu, but now, Yao Xiaoyu naturally will not admit defeat easily, in order to protect the faΓ§ade of the silver coral, she can't lose this battle!
In France, desserts are not only an indispensable part of people's daily diet, but also the essence of a culture and the pride of a nation.
From the early days when sugar and almonds were mainly used, to the continuous incorporation of dairy products, eggs, fruits, chocolates and other ingredients, to today's delicate desserts that are easy to see and mouth-watering. The pastry chef and the dessert itself have been given too much romance, and it is always said that the pastry chef is comparable to a jeweler, and the dessert is as beautiful as a dream.
There are many local sweets in France, most of which come from ancestral secret recipes, or born by accident, or originated from religion, and some benefit from foreign cultures, but any dessert that can be sued as a classic, their recipe is passed down by the French from generation to generation, perhaps it is a kind of adherence to tradition and self-confidence in national culture, which makes French food culture shine in the world and is covered with a layer of noble color, and Brittany is precisely in the ranks of this classic.
This hot snack has a special texture, like a very elastic pudding, and the slightly charred crust on the outside is also a feature of the French Dutch cake, so the mold used is coated with softened butter and then covered with sugar.
Brittany has a wide range of dairy products, so many of the region's famous spots are made with plenty of fresh, high-quality milk, cream and butter. The same is true for French Dutch cakes, which are best made with whipped cream with a very high milk content, or at least a high-quality whipping cream from France, to better reflect their flavor.
French prunes have long been a French favourite because of their thick flesh and rich in fiber. The Franco-Dutch cake contains many of these prunes. So in the cold winter, a piece of freshly baked French Dutch cake, with a glass of hot red wine, is very flattering, this Luca came prepared, he took out the dried plums, the color is excellent, as beautiful as agate, once shot, there is a very tempting sweetness curling.
Lukka poured flour and sugar into the salad bowl, stirred with a blender, added three eggs in turn, stirred vigorously until they were even, then added two more eggs and stirred, added the last three eggs, stirred vigorously again, slowly poured in the milk and stirred, poured in the rum, and stirred.
Every time he stirred, Sikong Yao could feel a surging sense of strength constantly expanding, concentrating on Luca, who was concentrating on the cooking, it was like a different person, calm and calm, and he was methodical and very experienced in doing any step, which showed that he had absolute confidence in the Brittany he was going to do, and he still put all his body and mind into it, and it seemed that he was also very cautious about this duel.
After all, when it comes to the reputation of a restaurant, no one dares to be sloppy, and this loser may never be able to gain a foothold in France again, and even affect the entire dessert career.
Lukka began to butter two special molds again, scattering the dried plums one by one into the molds, and using a spoon to pour the batter over to prevent the dried fruits from showing the surface.
Seeing that Lucca's Brittany had gradually taken shape, Sikong Yao couldn't help but be a little nervous, because Yao Xiaoyu had almost no ingredients that could shake Lucca, and the silver restaurant was mainly pudding, and he would not prepare such a thing as dried plums at all, and in the preparation of ingredients, Yao Xiaoyu himself had already lost a lot.
Yao Xiaoyu is very clear about this problem, if you want to shake Luca's classic status of Brittany, this is absolutely unrealistic, as an outsider, Yao Xiaoyu's countermeasure in his heart is to be as innovative as possible, since he can't beat Luca in terms of heritage, he has to find a way to attack from the side.
Yao Xiaoyu had an idea, and a smug arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "There you have it!" I figured out how to do it. β
Seeing Yao Xiaoyu's confident appearance, Sikong Yao was also relieved, but in such a hasty situation, could she really think of a way to deal with Luca? Not only Sikong Yao had this doubt, but the entire Silver Coral staff also pinched a cold sweat, although they had confidence in Yao Xiaoyu, but whether she could defeat Luca was another matter.
At least judging from the current scene, Luca seems to be more able to win the game, and after a while, Luca has already sent Brittany into the oven, and at this time, Yao Xiaoyu has just begun to butter the mold, not only progress, craftsmanship or experience, she is more than a star and a half apart.
Luca, who finished making dessert, began to sarcastically say to Yao Xiaoyu: "It seems that you are not very good at it, haha, do you want me to teach you?" The cake flour is sifted in turn to make sure there are no lumpy particles, and then a little salt is added to taste, and the ratio of salt to sugar is one to five. β
Yao Xiaoyu didn't raise his head, and said coldly: "You are really bad, just looking at your dessert skills, I originally recognized you a little, but you are so disgusting, even if you are not proficient in Brittany at this moment, I also know the ratio of salt and soup, it is not what you said at all, and I don't come to fool people." β
Luca's trick was tried on, but he didn't get angry, just laughed: "Hahaha, you know it well, but what?" Do you really think that with your skills, you can win me? Don't dream, in another thirty minutes, my Brittany will be baked, I see that you don't have to struggle at all, admit defeat obediently, and let Bai Xia come out quickly, you are not my opponent. β
"Just because you don't need Bai Xia to go out, you show me that people who only know how to follow the rules all their lives can't adapt to the development of this era, even if I don't know the classic Royal Breton recipe, I can make it, and I can defeat your desserts, this, is my weapon!"
Yao Xiaoyu said righteously, and then took out the ingredients, which turned out to be chocolate with a mellow and charming aroma, I saw her hand up and down, cut the chocolate into a size as slender as a hair, and then took a frying pan, looking at this posture, she actually wanted to cook chocolate sauce.
Lukka couldn't help frowning, he didn't understand what trick this girl was playing, how could Brittany use chocolate sauce, he really couldn't figure it out, but when he looked back, there was no need to be afraid of Yao Xiaoyu at all, because she was just playing tricks, but no matter how she tossed, it was absolutely impossible to defeat his classics!
