That's a player from Canada.
On the screen, the judges sorted their napkins and were ready to taste the first appetizer.
It was a mini tortellini. The surface has been fried to golden brown, the small half-moon shape looks very delicate, and the sauce on the bottom of the plate is very well-proportioned.
"Well..." Editor-in-chief Winston nodded, as if looking forward to it. He sighed when he cut the dumplings with a knife, "Usually only a small amount of oil is needed to fry pizza dumplings. Although it is 'a small amount', it also It needs to be in moderation. When the dumplings are cut, the outer skin is not crispy enough, which affects the taste.”
Pizza dumplings only got a 5 out of 5. This is not a good starter.
The Canadian contestant covered his forehead and sighed forcefully, and could only hope for his main course, Italian beef and ham rolls.
The presentation of the main course was still good, but unfortunately the veal did not receive enough thumping in order to be in a hurry, and it was not tasty enough. The evaluation is still not high, only 6 points.
At this time, no matter how good the dessert is, it is impossible to close the gap, and the judges have lost their interest.
The pulp in the passionfruit mousse was simmered not thick enough and the taste was disappointing.
The Canadian player's final score was only 5.8 points.
This made the audience sigh, and also made other players on the scene have lingering fears, and began to worry about whether their previous preparations were sufficient.
"All cooking must be done finely, and finesse takes time." Jiang Qianfan said.
"Yes, sir. So I am very relieved, because from the current state of Miss Croissant, everything she does is very delicate and everything is under control."
At this moment, Lin Kesong is peeling the apple. She moves quickly, using a fruit knife instead of a peeling plane. The peel came down round by round, and there was no trace of breakage.
The audience was hooked. Uncle Lin said to Song Yiran beside him, "What are they curious about? We all cut fruit like this!"
Lin Kesong peeled an apple in almost ten seconds, and then squeezed the juice.
Even with the squeezed apple juice, she did not forget to confirm the taste.
"Is she going to make apple juice for the judges? What's the point of that?" Lin Xiaoxue was also anxious at the moment, because she saw that another contestant had finished the competition, "The judges asked for appetizers, main courses and desserts. Drinks have nothing to do with it!"
"Don't worry. The puree can be used to make desserts, and the juice is likely to be used for flavoring." Song Yiran explained to Lin Xiaoxue with a smile.
"That's right..." Lin Xiaoxue never thought that the fruit could be used for seasoning.
The dishes of the Mexican contestants were presented to the judges.
His starter is carpaccio raw beef. When the judges saw this dish, they guessed who his mentor was.
"Oh... I really want to know if this raw beef is at the level of Chef Morris?" Winston's face was expectant.
But this raw beef only got a 7 out of 10.
“The balsamic vinegar should be boiled down to a syrupy form, but obviously you were in a hurry and turned up the heat a bit. Although the sauce boiled faster than usual, it lost its rich flavor.
His main courses and desserts received similar reviews as their starters.
After that, several more players completed the game, but none of them scored more than 7.5 points.
The audience began to whisper. They all felt that these dishes looked good and made people very appetizing, but the judges did not give high evaluations. Could it be that because it is the finals, they have become more demanding than ever
"It's not because they're too demanding, but because the players are a little restless... A lot of things aren't hot enough, and there are too many mistakes in details."
Uncle Lin exhaled. Looking at Lin Ke Song who was stirring the sauce at the moment, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
At least for now, these mistakes will not happen to Lin Kesong for the time being.
At this moment, Victor raised his hand and announced that his cooking was complete.
The photographer moves the camera to Victor's cooking. The appetizers looked delicate and beautiful, the main course of French chicken was mouth-watering, and the dessert was sorbet, but it was different from ordinary sorbet. Everything was perfect like the dishes in a 3-Michelin star restaurant.
Lin Kesong continued to work as if he had not heard anything.
In the hearts of the audience, the most exciting part of this game has already arrived.
Victor raised the corners of his lips confidently, convincing the audience that what he presented to the judges would be the best experience.
This is a Mediterranean Basil Tomato Recipe. The pulp in the center of each tomato, which was just a little bigger than a thumb, was taken out and stuffed with chatter.
Winston took a breath, carefully scooped up a tomato with a spoon, put it into his mouth, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "After so long of a taste torment, I'm finally saved. Although I don't know this Who is the contestant, but I know his mentor is Chef Jessica Quentin, an evergreen in the food world. A very refreshing, soft and surprising starter. The amount of garlic is just right, the aroma of basil runs through, the tomato The gravy was not overcooked and sour, but perfectly brought out the parmesan cheese and the tenderness of the little sweet prawns. Undoubtedly, a masterpiece.”
Victor's appetizer got a high score of 9.6, with a confident and proud smile in his eyes.
The color of the main dish, the French chicken, is close to milky white. The translucent sauce that slowly flows on the surface is like a stream. It just smells the fragrance. The judges have already started to swallow.
"The focus of this dish is on the cooking of the cream sauce, the heat of the muscles, and the tenderness of the liver puree stuffed in the chicken. Any little mistake will make the dish lose its taste." Winston raised his knife and fork to cut it open. After gaining muscle, everyone held their breaths. He pushed the inside of the chicken to the camera, so that everyone could see the inside of the dish. The liver puree did not appear gray due to overcooking, but was very tender.
"But so far, the player hasn't made any mistakes." Winston smiled and cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, "Well—the process of removing the chicken bones is very delicate and not damaged. The texture of the muscle. The celery and shallots did not steal the limelight of lemongrass and cumin, but enhanced the taste of the whole dish. The most important thing is that the little bit of curry in the mashed chicken liver is beating on the tip of the tongue. Like naughty little fish in a peaceful and harmonious lake. It's just amazing... it's amazing... "
Because this dish was so delicious, some judges couldn't help but ate half of it. In order for the review work to continue, the on-site staff had to speak to remind. Such a charm has never appeared in previous games.
Victor's main course received a high score of 9.7.
Mel in the audience sighed: "In this way, it is almost impossible for Croissant to beat him. Even if his dessert makes a mistake, the score is still above 9 points."
"Forget the past games, the present is the most important." Jiang Qianfan turned his face slightly, "Tell me, how is she now?"
"She just went to the freezer and took out the pea jelly. It looks like the prawn jelly has formed, and the color and transparency are similar to what you did Mr. Jiang. Oh, she is cutting the prawn jelly, it looks very elastic... I I believe her appetizers are very successful!"
"Of course. She has always liked that dish. So she remembers the texture and taste of that dish, and as long as she remembers it, she will be able to reproduce it."
Mel nodded and continued to focus on the game.
The judges have already started tasting Victor's dessert. That's matcha opera cake.
Although it's just an ordinary cake, everyone in the food world knows that Jessica Quentin's Matcha Opera Cake is unique in this world. Fluffy and springy cakes, soft buttercream, the freshness of matcha tea and the richness of chocolate sauce all make for a mouth-watering deliciousness.
Winston sighed when he tasted the first sip: "Sure enough, whether it is the tip of the tongue or the teeth, you can feel the elastic and soft cake embryo... I really want to know what is the secret recipe for such an effect!"
When he slowly swallowed the cake, he still closed his eyes and pondered deeply.
Then, with a long sigh, Winston said, "Everything is close to perfect, but there is only one very small flaw..."
The audience craned their necks, eager to know what that flaw was.
"I know this game is a lot of stress for all the players. Everyone has to do several things at the same time. With the ingredients in their hands, there are two or three soup pots simmering in front of them, and everything is in a hurry. It's just that the starter and main course are so perfect, I have to ask harshly that this dessert can also become a good memory forever. The matcha opera cake requires sugar water and vanilla pods to make sugar water. I guess that when the sugar water was boiled for the first time, the pot was almost dry, this The contestants had to add water and fish out the vanilla pods to make up for it. It's just... that faint burnt flavor is well hidden in the second layer of the cake... but my palate is not that of ordinary people..."
Victor clenched his fists subconsciously.
He had carefully adjusted for the mistake, but it was still Winston's taste.
Sure enough... Shouldn't there be any fluke in the face of Winston...
Winston raised his hand to look at his watch, and said regretfully: "Actually, this player still has time to re-boil the syrup, but I understand that once the pace is disrupted, it is very likely that the things that could have been done well will be lost. Ruined… just the syrup is so important to this dessert…”
