Chapter 577: Tiramisu

After Sikong Yao understood the whole process of Padano cheese production, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, Lute seemed to know everything, and worked in the International Gastronomy Research Association, so his strength should be first-class, if he could compete with him, he would be able to see what the gap between himself and the International Gastronomy Research Association was.

Sikong Yao suddenly ignited a scorching battle intent, looked at Lute's color and became fanatical, and smiled happily: "Lute, are you free?" Why don't we compare it? Dessert dishes. ”

Lute was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Sikong Yao to make such a request, Lute thought for a while, he hadn't had a cooking duel with others for a long time, and since joining the International Gastronomy Research Association, he has been working and researching, and he rarely has any opportunity to have a cooking duel with others.

When Sikong Yao said this, Lute also ignited his fighting spirit, and smiled happily: "Okay, anyway, I haven't had a cooking duel with someone else for a long time, so let's have a fun." ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "Great! ”

Lute thought for a moment and said, "But there is no notary. ”

Sikong Yao shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay, it's not a formal duel, it's just a competition, I just want to see how far I am from the first-class chef." ”

Lute said humbly: "Where am I a first-class chef, I am still far behind." ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "You are too modest, who can work here, which one is not first-class?" ”

Lute shrugged and said, "What do you want to compare?" ”

Sikong Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Since it's in Italy, of course, it's better than the most famous Italian dessert." Tiramisu. ”

Lute pondered for a moment and said, "Tiramisu?" What a good choice. ”

As a representative of Italian desserts, tiramisu is a fashionable dessert that has swept major cafes, bakery stores and Western restaurants with its gorgeous appearance and charming posture. This dessert has been going since the mid-80s of the 20th century. Red. Nowadays, this dessert may be served in a variety of high-end restaurants around the world, but not exclusively in Italian restaurants. It's formulated with a traumatic twist. The new meaning is the coffee-flavoured cheese milk liquid, which is also absorbed in cakes, puddings and other forms of hot and cold desserts.

It combines the bitterness of espresso coffee, the moistness of eggs and sugar, the mellowness of sweet wine, the richness of chocolate, the creaminess of finger biscuits, the thick aroma of cheese and whipped cream, and the dryness of cocoa powder. Using less than ten ingredients, the "sweetness" and the intricate experiences that sweetness can evoke. Intertwined. Layer by layer, interpretation to the extreme.

In Paris, France, MCAKE improved the process of making tiramisu, so that the tiramisu was extended, and made a cake called the Symphony of Coffee. Among the tiramisu, MCAKE's Sabri Parfait and Café Symphony are the most famous.

Tiramisu in the original Italian. "Tira" means "to lift, to pull". "Mi" means "I", "Su" means "up", and together they mean "pull me up"; There are also another interpretations of "take me away" and "remember me" and "come back".

Take a closer look at its historical origins. It dates back to the 17th century as a northwestern Italian dessert called ZuppadelDuca or ZuppaInglese, but the real tiramisu didn't appear until the 60s in the northwestern part of Venice, Italy. Locals use Mascarponecheese as the main ingredient, and finger biscuits instead of the traditional dessert sponge cake, adding other elements such as coffee and cocoa powder. The recipe is simple, but it combines the unique flavors of three Western foods, cheese, coffee and wine, and ruthlessly steals the limelight from cheesecake. Sweet and bitter are like angels and demons, harmonious and rushing. Turbulent knots. Together.

There are many different stories about the origin of tiramisu, the more warm version is that an Italian soldier is about to go to the battlefield, but there is nothing left at home, and his wife, who loves him, in order to prepare dry food for him, made all the biscuits and bread that can be eaten in the family into a pastry, which means to take me away, and that pastry is called tiramisu. Whenever this soldier eats tiramisu on the battlefield, he thinks of his home and his loved ones.

The second version is more fairytale-like, with a boy named Fvan falling in love with a girl named Jane. The boy firmly believes that a "tiramisu" cake with a similar name to Tianned will bring him good luck. So he spent many days and nights, following the method of making tiramisu, to make a very delicate cake, and named this cake "Tiramisu Love". After the girl ate this cake and felt the thick. Strong love. Later married to a boy. Since then, the story has been widely spread in the township. Flow. Transmit. Tiramisu cake has become synonymous with love and affection. Until today. When the sweet taste of tiramisu lingers in the girl's mouth, I believe that the heart will also be extremely sweet.

Tiramisu has always represented love, and a master who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in France once said: "Tiramisu" in Italian means to take me home. It's every mom's specialty in Italy. It's not about expressing love, it's about bringing your children home!

Mom made tiramisu and waited for her children to come home for dinner......

In Italy, the traditional tiramisu is soft, unformed in a basin and eaten with a spoon on its own plate. Mascapone cheese, wine, cocoa powder, and coffee determine its softness and moistness.

Other versions of origin are more interesting, saying that it originated in Siena, in the western Italian province of Tuscone, where the Duke of Medici visited Siena in the 19th century and became obsessed with a local paste-like dessert, which the inhabitants named "The Duke's Sweet Soup" in honor. Subsequently, the Duke of Italy introduced desserts to Florence in the north, which immediately became the favorite of British intellectuals stationed there, and was renamed "British's sweet soup", and brought back to England to become popular with Italy. Siena's sweets also spread to the northeastern Italian cities of Traviso and Venice. Today, these two cities are best known for their canals, frescoes and tiramisu, but there is a disconnect in the interpretation of how the "duke's sweet soup" evolved into Tiramisu.

The origin of tiramisu has been debated, but the more reliable origin is that it originated from another layered dessert, Zuppa Inglese. After Merriam-Webster's first mention of this dessert in 1982, tiramisu was mentioned again in GiovanniCapnist's 1983 cookbook IDolci del Veneto. Other origins of this cake begin in the city of Sienna. Some confectioners say in honor of Cosimo III? Morality? Medici visited the city and invented this food. There is also a claim that the Washington Post states that he created tiramisu on December 24, 1969 in Via Sottotreviso when he was previously a head chef in Treviso.

However, aside from its complex origin, the tiramisu from the famous family tastes fragrant, smooth, sweet, greasy, soft with texture changes in the mouth, and the taste is not blindly sweet, because of the cocoa powder, so it is slightly bitter, which is just the right match for the cappuccino.

Tiramisu is a blend of cheese, coffee and wine that melts in your mouth. The main ingredients are coffee, wine, cheese, and cream. A layer of biscuits permeated with coffee and wine, the right amount of fingers

; a cheese cream mixed with soft cheese, eggs, whipped cream, red wine, and sugar; The two ingredients are layered on top of each other, and a thin layer of cocoa powder is sprinkled on top.

Most restaurants serve it in glassware, and the sheer cream yellow is sprinkled with the golden brown of unsweetened cocoa powder, and a deep scoop is added to the dark brown of chocolate. Not as colorful as a banana boat or monochromatic like a cheesecake, the overall color of tiramisu is harmonious and varied. Gently scoop up a spoonful and put it in your mouth, it is cold but not cold, and your mouth feels refreshed.

As an Italian, Lute, in addition to having a sense of pride in cheese, is no stranger to tiramisu, and it was a little surprising to see Sikong Yao dare to make such a duel with himself, as an Italian, if he loses to the tiramisu made by a pastry chef from another country, it will be really embarrassing.

But for Lute, that doesn't happen at all.

Lute laughed, "Why don't you change the subject, it's not fair to you." ”

Although Tiramisu was brought up by Sikong Yao, Lute always felt that something was wrong.

Sikong Yao shrugged, in fact, she didn't think about it so much, against a first-class pastry chef, she didn't have any chance of winning, but she didn't want to lose too badly, so she picked a dessert that she was best at, although she also knew that there was no chance of winning against Lute with Tiramisu, but it didn't matter, because she originally came with a learning mentality.

Sikong Yao's gaze became resolute, there was a stubborn meaning revealing a little strength, Lute was also a little touched when he saw Sikong Yao's resolute gaze, he rarely saw people with this kind of eyes, all of them were famous cooking masters, Sikong Yao's eyes had a unique charm in them, which made Lute believe that she could go further and further on the road of cooking.

A person who dares to challenge the strong is brave, and a brave heart will give them the strength to move forward until they lead to success, Lute was convinced of this, so he looked at Sikong Yao with a resolute expression and nodded, acquiescing to this unfair cooking duel, about tiramisu, Lute knows much more than Sikong Yao.

Seeing Lu nodded, Sikong Yao also smiled and said: "It's okay, it's better than Tiramisu, if I compare it to this, I won't lose too badly, so that I can see how far my full strength is from the first-class level." (To be continued......)
