News that Feng Yifan's Western Restaurant was about to open soon spread. Li Fei'er arranged for Meng Shitong and the others to make a special trip over the next day to take photos.

Then Meng Shitong and the others saw Feng Yifan in a different way in the back kitchen of the Western restaurant.

Kitchen artist.

Having heard such a title before, Meng Shitong and the others might not have had a very intuitive imagination.

But in the Western restaurant, Meng Shitong and the others really saw it.

Feng Yifan unfolded the menu for others to see, and then he started the cooking process without looking at the menu at all, relying on his own experience.

The first appetizer was apricot ham shortbread.

When the dishes came out, everyone present was shocked.

Each of the small shortbreads, which are baked over a fire, is only half the size of a matchbox.

Then Feng Yifan wrapped the repaired ham slices with fried apricot paste inside, rolled them into small rolls, and placed them on the small shortbread.

It looks really exquisite and compact.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, You can eat this dish by pinching it with your hands. You can pinch it and eat it in one bite.

Such a small and exquisite dish makes everyone even a little afraid to taste it.

Everyone looked at it carefully and finally pinched it gently.

Then put the whole thing into your mouth.

When they started chewing it in their mouths, everyone suddenly understood why such a dish was made so small.

Because it is just the right amount for one bite, it feels good to swallow it in one bite and chew it together in your mouth.

First of all, there is the fresh fragrance of apricot paste, and some sweetness of shortbread can just balance out the salty taste of ham slices.

Then mix in the small pepper rings garnished on top.

It really evokes a very complex taste in the mouth.

At the same time, after you enter the mouth of such a dish, the various flavors blend together, and no one flavor is particularly prominent. On the whole, it can not only taste a variety of flavors, stimulate everyone's tongue and bring appetite, but the size of the mouthful will not make people feel tired or too full at once.

Next, the dish presented by Feng Yifan was more like a dessert than a dish.

Second appetizer: Goat milk Bavaro.

After placing the goat milk Bavaro on a plate, Feng Yifan garnished it with some nut slices and sprinkled it with some large grains of sea salt flakes.

Finally, pour a ring of top-quality olive oil along the edge of the dish.

The appearance of such a dish made everyone present a little confused.

Especially those who have never tasted Western food.

Su Ruoxi directly asked everyone's doubts, This is the second appetizer.

Why did you serve dessert directly?

Feng Yifan smiled and handed the spoon to his wife, Here, you have a taste.

Su Ruoxi took the spoon doubtfully, then carefully scooped out a piece with the spoon, and put it into her mouth along with the olive oil, sea salt, nut flakes, and Bavaro.

For a moment, Su Ruoxi was surprised by a strange smell.

This dish, which obviously looks like a dessert, tastes like the rich aroma of olive oil and the salty taste of sea salt. In the end, the goat milk is just a hint of sweetness in the mouth.

It has a delicate and smooth texture and tastes really good.

After Su Ruoxi ate it, she was surprised and said, This, this is really a dish, not a dessert.

After hearing Su Ruoxi's words, everyone else also tasted it.

Soon, everyone tasted it.

Such a dish is very much like a dessert. When you eat it, you will not feel that it is a dessert at all. It really brings out the flavors of various condiments to the extreme.

Next comes the third dish of eggplant and white chicken liver essence.

This dish is actually quite time-consuming in the early stage, so Feng Yifan prepared it in advance.

At this time, it will be placed directly on the plate for everyone to taste.

Looking at the stacks, there is a layer of chocolate flakes, a layer of fried and seasoned eggplant slices, and a layer of chicken liver that has been slow-cooked at low temperature and then pureed and shaped.

Stack them alternately to form a small sandwich, garnish with some green leaves and put a grilled and dried eggplant slice on top.

Seeing this dish, Meng Shitong and the others took pictures very seriously.

And He Yaqian asked, Chef Feng, is this the main course?

Feng Yifan smiled and shook his head, How can the main course be served so quickly? There are ten courses of desserts before and after a set meal. This is only the third course. There are still several courses before the main course.

Ah Fei exclaimed, How long will this take?

Feng Yifan continued, In fact, when you order, you can choose to order some individual items to match, but you don't necessarily have to order the entire set.

Later, in order to speed up the process, Feng Yifan also presented the subsequent dishes one by one.

Until the main course, red wine braised beef, was served. After everyone had eaten so many dishes, they were looking forward to such a dish.

A whole piece of beef that is slow-cooked and simmered in a red wine sauce before being plated.

After placing the beef on a plate, pour in the thickened broth.

It really looks like eating fresh meat with blood.

Everyone looked at such a crude arrangement, which really created a distinct visual impact from before.

But when you cut the beef with a knife, you can clearly see that the cross-section is very beautiful.

Dip it in some of the stewed meat soup and put it into your mouth together. There will be no trace of alcohol, but the rich taste of the stewed meat soup.

The beef is tender and smooth, and even has a melt-in-your-mouth feeling.

There won't be a lot of fat, and the low-temperature slow cooking locks in the juices of the beef.

I have to say that such a whole piece of beef is really very comfortable to eat.

After the main course, there are some subsequent dishes and the last two desserts.

The last dessert that was served surprised Chen Xu.

Because the last dessert of the set meal turned out to be the Mont Blanc that Luo Yu had made before.

When I first saw it, Chen Xu would think that it wouldn’t match Feng Yifan’s set meal?

But after eating it, Chen Xu suddenly realized that this dessert was very suitable.

Recalling Feng Yifan's entire set meal, one of the highlighted themes is actually the taste of mountain delicacies, including the piece of beef in the middle, which is actually made with a more mountainous flavor, retaining the most original flavor of beef.

The final Montblanc color also retains the original flavor of chestnuts.

As the final finishing touch to the entire package, it really feels appropriate.

Chen Xu finished the dessert and looked at Luo Yu with excitement, Congratulations, you really succeeded. You finally found the food that can match your dessert.

Luo Yu was also very excited, with tears even filling her eyes.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, she rushed forward and hugged him.

Then in Chen Xu's arms, Luo Yu sobbed softly and was speechless for a while.

When Su Ruoxi saw the two of them, she leaned gently into her husband's arms and asked, Did you already think about this dessert when you came to them and want it to be used at the end of the set meal?

Feng Yifan responded to his wife softly, Yes, I have already thought about it.

Su Ruoxi asked again, So, you actually matched the dishes in the entire set meal based on her desserts?

Feng Yifan laughed, Hahaha, you silly girl, do you really think your husband is so awesome? In fact, no, before I went to them, I had already thought of the themes of two set meals. One is the mountain delicacies we are eating now. , and the other one will focus on river and seafood dishes.”

Su Ruoxi finally understood that her husband had already planned it, and Luo Yu's dessert might be just right.

After thinking about it seriously, Su Ruoxi said, Your dishes really taste good. It doesn't feel like what I imagined. Those Western foods always taste weird.

Feng Yifan laughed after hearing this, Hahaha, I adjusted everything according to domestic tastes.

Su Ruoxi was a little surprised when she heard this.

Feng Yifan then roughly introduced his wife.

For example, he adjusted the taste of the first appetizer dish. Since he did not use foreign ham, he also performed some processing after selecting domestic ham slices and absorbed a lot of excess salt to reduce the saltiness. It also prevents the appetizers from overpowering the flavor.

Perhaps for many, they will try their best to choose the best quality ingredients in the world for cooking.

But Feng Yifan didn't do that. He made use of high-quality domestic ingredients.

Without relying on imports, the cost of food ingredients can be reduced a lot.

In addition, some adjustments have been made to the taste of some dishes according to the preferences of Chinese people.

Su Ruoxi nodded after listening and said, Husband, you are great. You know how to adjust it according to the tastes of our domestic people. No wonder when I taste it, I feel that every dish is delicious. It doesn't look like the dishes in many Western restaurants. It always tastes like It tastes weird.

Lu Cuiling, Feng Jiandong and Su Jinrong also came over.

When Lu Cuiling heard what her daughter-in-law said, she said unabashedly, Yes, your father-in-law and I were invited to eat Western food once before. I felt that the food was not delicious at all. It tasted very strange, and I still need to eat it. It takes such a long time to go through one line after another, which is very troublesome.

Feng Jiandong smiled and said, Then your son's place also serves dishes one by one?

As a result, Lu Cuiling, who didn't know how to praise her son, actually said, What's wrong? I think my son's food looks better than theirs and tastes better than theirs, so I'm willing to wait, okay?

Feng Jiandong suddenly laughed, Hahaha, okay, Yifan, it's the first time you hear your mother praise you, aren't you very happy?

Feng Yifan also laughed, Well, I'm very happy. I finally got praise from my mother.

Lu Cuiling instantly said with a straight face, You two are doing this on purpose, right? You're plotting against me here.

Su Ruoxi hurried over and hugged her mother-in-law, Mom, don't be angry. What you said is actually right. I also think every dish made by Yifan is very delicious, especially the taste that suits our taste. I feel like such a chef , can be called the top.

Su Jinrong also said, Yes, the chef does not want to cook the food for those food critics or the so-called upper class people, but to cook the food for every diner to eat. If the diners don't feel good eating it, Eat, then it is the chef’s failure.”

Feng Yifan's set menu is almost entirely based on various mountain delicacies and mushrooms.

The meat is mainly goat, pheasant and beef.

In this way, a very suitable set of mountain delicacies set menu is constructed.

The whole set tastes really delicious to everyone.

While the diners were reminiscing today, several chefs had already begun research.

Starting from the first appetizer, they also started to study one by one.

They witnessed the entire cooking process and carefully recorded every step.

But just recording it and doing it according to the proportion may not necessarily do it well.

This still requires some personal skills, including control of seasoning.

Feng Yifan also gave Meng Shitong and the others a special photo shoot of the menu.

There are ten dishes in total.

They are apricot mash ham shortbread, goat milk Bavarian, eggplant and chicken liver extract, wild mushroom cold soup, mushroom pheasant shortbread box, grilled beef tongue, cheese-baked goat mince, wild red wine braised beef tenderloin, and meringue. Ice cream, the true nature of Montblanc.

After taking pictures of the menu, Meng Shitong couldn't help but ask.

Chef Feng, you let us film the whole process like this, and you will also let others watch you cooking. Are you really not afraid of others imitating your dishes?

Feng Yifan smiled and asked, Imitate my dishes? Are you copying them yourself? Doesn't any dish allow others to copy it? Isn't that strange?

He Yaqian then asked, No, Chef Feng, aren't you afraid that others will learn your cooking and start a business?

Feng Yifan immediately laughed when he heard this, and it was the kind of laughter that he leaned forward and backward.

This smile made Meng Shitong and the others a little confused.

When Meng Shitong and the others were puzzled.

Ma Xiaolong came over, took out his notes, and showed them to Meng Shitong and the others.

Did you see it? These are the notes I took down during the whole process today. Each of us took down a lot, including every detail. But even so, we may still need to try it a few times before we open. And the chef will need to take us to cook it many times later.”

Catherine also came over and said, Even if we cook with the chef many times, we may not be able to fully master the dishes on the menu in the end.

Ma Xiaolong said, If you can open a restaurant just by replicating the dishes and making the same dishes as the chef, then what kind of genius does it take to do it?

Su Jinrong also said at this time, Actually, the taste of the same dish produced by each chef may be different.

The chef who understands the taste of the diners best and can make slight adjustments according to the taste of the customers will be the one who truly makes a dish perfect. No matter how others copy it, it may be exactly the same in shape, but the taste may still be different. The difference is huge.

Feng Yifan finally said, If your video is released and someone wants to copy my dishes, I really welcome everyone to try it.

After hearing this, Meng Shitong and the others immediately focused their attention on A Fei.

Ah Fei was stunned for a moment, then said with a sad face, Why is it always me?
