Chapter 693 The Chef's Affairs(2/2)
Usually, the set meals in high-end private kitchen restaurants need to follow a complete set of combinations of thick and light flavors, and are divided into appetizers, main courses, finishing and dim sum.
Usually, the set meals in a private kitchen restaurant must be determined by the chef himself.
In addition, the package will also vary according to the season and the daily purchase of some fresh ingredients.
Therefore, a standard set of meals is also the key to testing a chef's abilities.
If you simply confirm the package, it must be something that Feng Yifan can do casually.
Because whether it is Chinese or Western style, it is not difficult for him to customize a set of meals. This is a accumulation of two lives.
But the situation is different now. The package determined by Feng Yifan must be able to show the characteristics of Su Ji.
This is not a simple Western or Chinese multiple-choice question.
He needs to mainly use Suji's traditional taste to make dishes that meet Suji's characteristics, and then use these dishes to combine them into a set meal, including appetizers, main courses, soups, and snacks.
Therefore, the workload in front of Feng Yifan is definitely not just a few dishes.
Because the set meal, from the starter to the last snack, must meet the taste of the entire set meal.
We must have a sense of integrity and at the same time we must have different characteristics.
The appetizer should be amazing, but you should not be able to make a name for yourself, and cover up the highlights that the main course should have in the future.
The main course should have more characteristics, which is a unique feature of Su Ji and Feng Yifan.
Soup is a connected thing, which should be paired with the dishes of the entire set meal and integrated into the entire set meal, rather than a single soup.
As for the final finishing and dessert, it also needs to meet the specifications of the set meal and also suit the taste of the set meal.
Therefore, Feng Yifan has to spend a lot of effort to study and determine each set of package customization.
Now, what Feng Yifan could be sure of is that Su Ji’s package first needs to divide the four seasons into characteristics. Just like Su Ji’s unique lion head, the four seasons must show different characteristics and different seasonal characteristics, which is what Su Ji’s package should have.
Then, each season, you should have to arrange one or two sets of meals.
Feng Yifan thinks that the seasonal ingredients should be used as the main focus.
So he needs to list the ingredients for seasonal foods in different seasons, and choose the ingredients suitable for seasonal main courses. This is equivalent to the backbone of the set menu. After determining such a main course, the other parts of the set menu are prepared around this main course.
After thinking about it alone, Feng Yifan found that after the snack master came, some things could be finally confirmed.
Of course, it also needs the advice of Shi Jiahui, the sous chef, and the restaurant owner needs to discuss it together.
Just as he thought of this, Feng Ruoruo ran in from outside, ran to his father, and gently patted his father with his little hand.
"Dad, what are you doing? Can you play with Xixi and me?"
Feng Yifan looked up at his daughter, then looked at Yang Xiaoxi waiting outside, and then he laughed. Since he couldn't come up with a suitable idea for the time being, he would play with his daughter for a while.
Relax, it may be easier to come up with the right ideas.
Thinking of this, Feng Yifan stood up, pulled his daughter and said, "Okay, then let's go."
