Next, Marin tested the brothers' cooking skills. The www.biquge.info eventually found that although the brothers' cooking skills were not bad, they were definitely not outstanding. At such a level, it is difficult to blend into the French royal palace and cook exclusively for the French queen.

Therefore, Marlin, the second knife, plans to give the brothers a special cooking training. In order to strengthen the brothers' culinary skills, Marlin borrowed the best cooks from the Pope, Julius II, to teach the brothers how to make authentic Italian cuisine and teach them some unique skills.

The main types of Italian cuisine are pasta, pizza and fried steak, but of course, there are also beef liver preparations, as well as cheese and black mushrooms.

When Catherine of the Medici married Henry II in the 16th century, she mainly brought these Italian dishes, which became the basis of the famous French feast in later generations.

In other words, there is no fried steak, no foie gras, and no truffle in France now......

The black fungus mentioned above mainly refers to the black truffle in the truffle......

When Julius II's royal chef was teaching Giovanni and Marcheni pasta, pizza and pan-fried steak, Marin didn't interject and watched. After all, he wasn't good at Italian food either.

However, while auditing, Marin heard the imperial chef of Julius II say that the special wheat variety for making pasta is durum wheat, so he decided to introduce some durum wheat and take it to North America to grow. Speaking of which, Marin also likes to eat noodles. It's also normal to get some wheat that is suitable for making noodles.

When teaching how to make pizza, Marin couldn't help but talk about the KFC pizza that was overwhelming in later advertisements.

Pizza in this era was mainly just about adding some cheese and spices to the cake, and there were not as many tricks as later generations. But Marin was bombarded with KFC's advertisements in later generations, and naturally knew how to add eggs, bacon, ham, beef, meat and other accessories to pizzas.

Julius II's imperial chef tried it and found that the pizza was delicious. Then, this new style of pizza was put on the table of Julius II and appreciated by His Holiness the Pope. However, after learning that this was made up by his son-in-law, the Pope was also a little crying and laughing.

When Mr. Royal Chef taught the brothers how to make caviar, Marin couldn't help but interject again......

In this era, there are no strict rules for caviar. Caviar from any fish can be used to make caviar. But in later life, Marin remembered, the French strictly ruled that only caviar made from the roe of large sturgeon was the most authentic caviar.

Mr. Chef was stunned for a moment, but nodded in agreement with Marin. Although there were no similar regulations in Italy in this era, the caviar of sturgeon was the most delicious, and this seasoned chef knew it.

……

After Mr. Royal Chef finished his culinary teaching, the brothers' cooking skills can be regarded as a masterpiece. However, there is still a long way to go if you want to stand out and become a royal chef.

So, after thinking twice, Marin decided to teach the brothers some of their best skills. For example, the famous fried foie gras in later French dinners......

In his previous life, because of the strong praise of the guys who admired foreign people, Marin also had a strong interest in French food. It's a pity that the French restaurant is too pretending, just for a meal, and the guests are specially required to wear formal clothes......

"A slut is hypocrisy!" Here's what Marin had to say about French restaurants.

Then, Marlin ate foie gras and had to do it himself. Fortunately, there is a recipe on the Internet, so Marin did it himself and made a few fried foie gras, but after eating it, although he thought it was good, it was not to the point where he was praised by those who admired foreign people......

The French meal Marin has studied, mainly in the practice of frying and baking. For example, fried steak and fried foie gras are especially fried in olive oil.

In addition to the main ingredient, foie gras is fried in a simple way, with olive oil, wine vinegar (red wine and apple cider vinegar mixed in a 5:3 ratio), pepper, salt, flour and fresh orange (this seems to be rare in winter......

To do this, slice the foie gras, sprinkle it with salt and pepper, and pat it evenly on top of the dough. Then pour the olive oil into the pan, heat it until it is seven or eight minutes hot, add the foie gras, and fry over medium-low heat until golden brown on both sides.

The next step is to peel the oranges, take one-third of the flesh, and squeeze the other two-thirds of the flesh to make the juice. After the oil is heated in a pot, add the wine vinegar and orange flesh to a boil over medium heat, pour in the orange juice and mix well, and pour it on the foie gras.

Of course, it's January, even in the Pope's kitchen, and you can't find fresh oranges. Therefore, Marlin can only omit the fresh orange step. However, the practice was taught to the two brothers, Giovanni and Macioni.

As for what to do with fresh oranges in the future? Marin found it easy. Fresh oranges can't be preserved, but they can be made into canned oranges...... Canned fruits made by the ordinary steaming method can be stored for up to 10 months. When it's time to make it, use canned oranges. Although it is not as good as the original, it will be ready to use.

As for the recipe and usage of truffles, Mr. Imperial Chef also taught the Giovanni brothers before.

In this way, the brothers Giovanni and Marcheni mastered the recipe of truffle, foie gras and caviar, the three famous dishes of French cuisine.

Marin believed that as long as these three dishes were cooked, the conquest of the French court would not be a matter at all......

As for the other famous dish, French snails, Marin did not teach the brothers. Why? Because people in this era are not used to eating snails. Moreover, even if you eat snails, you must have a corresponding variety of vegetable snails......

And the frying method of black pepper steak, Marin also taught the fat brothers. This kind of thing, Marin has long been promoted in the aristocratic circles of East Frisian. Moreover, it is not unusual for Italy to also have the practice of frying steak at this time.

With the foundation of Italian cuisine, plus truffle, foie gras and caviar, the three ace dishes of French cuisine, the fat brothers have become the French imperial chef, and no one will have an opinion.

Of course, if you want to infiltrate the French royal palace in the shortest possible time and successfully become Queen Anne's exclusive royal chef, you still have to spend a lot of money to make connections.

As long as the fat brothers can infiltrate the French royal palace and become Queen Anne's imperial kitchen, Queen Anne will not want to give birth to a prince. Even, the second princess could not be born......

And, Marin remembers that the main production areas of black truffles in France seem to be in the mountains of northern Provence and in the southwest near Périgord. In this era, because the habit of eating truffles has not yet reached France. Therefore, it is estimated that no one has started picking French truffles yet.

To this end, Marin planned to send a team to the mountains and forests of northern Provence and the mountains near Périgord, using the method of finding truffles with sows invented by the French in later generations, and specifically to find a large number of undeveloped French black truffles to supply to the fat brothers. As long as the fat brothers have a large supply of black truffles in their hands, they will not worry about not being valued and reused by the French royal couple. In this way, it is also convenient for the fat brothers to continue to drug Queen Anne......

To be honest, Marin doesn't like truffles very much, and always feels that truffles taste weird. However, it can't stand the likes of Europeans. Marin's cheap father-in-law, Julius II, was particularly fond of truffles. Moreover, there is basically no Italian aristocrat who does not like to eat truffles. Probably, this is the preference of Europeans. After all, the European aristocracy of this era actually liked to eat barbecue with pepper, and the taste was very heavy......
