Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Many people will think of "dark cuisine" such as looking up at the starry sky when they mention British cuisine, but in fact, even after experiencing the decline of food culture, Britain still has amazing top dishes.

Wellington steak, this is a very traditional British famous dish, also known as the most elegant British cuisine.

However, just like the Benedict egg Elena had done before. Although the Wellington steak originated in Europe, it was promoted in the United States, and most of the official documents about the Wellington steak are recorded in the United States.

For a long time, there has not been an international top chef in the UK-this will be the case until two years later, a Scottish restaurant chef named Gordon Ramsay in the non-magic world. Let all this begin to change.

By the time Elena crossed, Gordon Ramsay not only became the first Scottish chef to win Michelin three stars, he even owned 28 top restaurants and received a total of 14 Michelin stars. It has become the top chef with the highest personal value and annual income in the non-magic world.

And Gordon Ramsay ’s most famous dish is also his first famous dish. It is this Elena that is currently trying to reproduce the Wellington steak in the Hogwarts kitchen-because of the exquisite, Complicated and delicious, this is also one of the hell-level dishes known as the test of chef cooking.

"Wow! What is this ?! Simply, it's so delicious!"

"It's so beautiful, Elena, you are so amazing."

After the potion class was over, it was almost time for lunch.

Harry and Hermione, who were already hungry, did n’t have much entanglement with Elena ’s strange “birthday greetings”, and quickly focused on the steak that Silver Hairy Lori had never seen before. .

The golden yellow meringue is wrapped on the outermost side of the steak. After the knife is cut, you can see that the bottom of the meringue is stuffed with attractive minced mushrooms. Juicy visual impact.

And even further than the visual enjoyment, when these cows are discharged into the entrance, the multi-layered progressive taste, almost completely overturned the concept of Hermione and Harry's steak in a moment.

"Well, other than that? Any other comments or thoughts?"

Elena hugged her arms and looked at the two friends who were gorging in front of her with satisfaction. Her heart was full of accomplishment.

Even Hermione, who had always been somewhat reserved, quickly put down the femininity in the face of such delicacy and chewed on her mouth. And Harry, who had n’t eaten anything particularly good at Dursley ’s house since childhood, could n’t hate to grow a mouth or two hands to help himself get rid of food faster.

"Super delicious! This is delicious!"

"Is this really a steak? God, I think it was just too ..."

As a qualified chef, Elena will naturally not risklessly serve a brand new dish on the tables of the four colleges in Hogwarts.

Before the formal supply can be completed, a basic tasting session is naturally essential.

Undoubtedly, Harry and Hermione, who had just left the Potion Classroom, were very fortunate to be Elena's first batch of test dishes. However, what made Elena speechless was that the two native English guys seemed to give no opinions at all except for their deliciousness.

But even if I want to come, even Hermione Granger with a slightly better family background, it is difficult to find a top restaurant at this time point-after all, it is only at the end of 1991, and is far from the British mainland. It is almost ten years before diet confidence rises again.

"Forget it, eat with peace of mind ..."

Elena shook her head helplessly, ignoring Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, who showed a fussy look on the side because they had never seen the world, and carefully cut out a Wellington steak with a knife In the entrance, he frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"It still failed. The gravy was not completely locked and the meringue was damp."

"And ... the steak seems to be overcooked, too cooked, and lacks that smooth and tender feeling."

The most authentic Wellington steak, the crispy skin should be crispy and complete, the mushroom sauce in the middle should be dry enough and the flavor is rich, the fillet steak (fillet) refers to the steak made with a certain thickness of beef tenderloin. It is the three matures to show the attractive pink, the flesh is rich, soft and smooth, and the three must be closely together without gaps.

As one of the most difficult dishes in the world, Wellington steak has two major cooking difficulties: one is how to effectively prevent the gravy from immersing in the meringue, and the other is because you ca n’t see the meat being cooked. The degree can only be judged by experience.

Strictly speaking, if the meringue is slightly moistened or the beef is overcooked, it is a failure to make.

"It seems that magic is not a panacea."

Elena nodded her lips thoughtfully.

You know, in order to speed up the forming time of the steak, she asked Hogwarts' house elf to use a little "magic" to shorten the Wellington steak that required nearly an hour of preparation to 15 minutes.

The result of this is that both the dryness of the mushrooms and the degree of blockade of the gravy are somewhat unsatisfactory, and even worse. The meringue is completely powdered a little inside except for the crispy outermost layer. .

The most important thing is that due to the unscientific result theory of magic, the house elf who adheres to the concept of cooking food is the cooking concept. When applying magic, it is obvious that it will not deliberately control the degree of ripeness of the internal steak .

This is also the biggest test that Elena needs to face as the head chef of Hogwarts Kitchen.

There is no doubt that domestic elves are fully capable of being a chef of any star chef. The breakfast these days proves that as long as they understand the basic practices, with the help of magic, they can achieve more than 90% of a dish. The replication rate may even reach 100% or even 120% ...

However, the premise is that Elena must be able to show them what successful samples look like, or to be able to accurately describe and define what a perfect form is-in other words, before she can Before the chef "invites" to Hogwarts, she must try to make herself a star chef like Ramsey.

"Burleigh, I may need to purchase a batch of kitchen supplies from the Muggle world. Should I be able to do it this weekend?"

Elena tapped her finger on the workbench, lowered her head to look at the house elf who had been standing not far in front of her, carefully pulled her finger and said solemnly.

"I need a batch of plastic wrap, a fast-refrigerated ice cellar, and we also need to supplement the kitchen with traditional English yellow mustard ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ and purchase a batch of Parma ham ..."

"The ice cellar, the seasoning, the ham are all okay, just add more on the purchase list. But—"

The house-elf Burberry nodded seriously, and took out his small notebook to write down carefully (this is a new habit it has developed these days to use to record Elena ’s requests at any time), suddenly After a pause, he looked up at Elena with a bitter face.

"Chef, the plastic wrap you mentioned seems to be unique to the Muggle world. Our family has elves and there is no way to purchase this thing in the non-magic world, so ..."

"I understand, let me do this." Elena raised her eyebrows, revealing an inscrutable smile.
