It is reported that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Madrid Food Festival, and the slogan of this food festival is "Beyond products". Mr jose carlos capel, President of Madrid Food Festival, gave a wonderful speech.
During three days, Madrid, as the host city, together with chefs from all over the world, reviewed the cooking industry, product transformation and fine craftsmanship, as well as cooking by microwave or ultrasound equipment, as well as artisans, traditions and ancestral cooking techniques, which are also the basis of major recipes in the future.
Spreading China's Dietary Concept in Cooking Teaching
Not long ago, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Madrid Food Festival, two famous chefs from China were invited to make a grand appearance on the main stage in the Spanish Chinese food disseminator series talk show "China Kitchen" to show Chinese food culture and cooking charm on the spot. At the Madrid Food Festival, the chef not only showed his exquisite cooking skills, but also gave an all-round explanation of the dishes made from the aspects of technology, culture, nutrition and concept.
The handsome Mr. Bao brought a dialogue between food tradition and innovation to the professional audience and the media. He chose Beijing Forbidden City roast duck as the theme, which may be one of China's most famous dishes overseas. Under the mystery of the century-old technology of roast duck, he showed more possibilities including modern innovation and environmental protection concept.
When reviewing the historical origin of this dish, Bao Yangming explained in detail the transformation of this famous dish from traditional craft to modern trend in authentic Spanish according to European cultural appreciation habits.
At the same time, he innovated and served the tradition by adapting the roast duck technology to the modern overseas kitchen environment. In addition, the "zero garbage concept" that impressed the western audience also ran through Mr. Bao's demonstration. Up to four kinds of recipes are made from whole ducks, using 65,438+000% ingredients. The demonstration session was very successful, and the audience warmly applauded the skills and concepts of Chinese food.
Another famous chef interviewed, Mr. Zhang Yongping, brought China cooking to a professional audience. The flame rising from cooking exhibitions such as hot pot, sliding pot, moistening pot and frying pan and the aroma of high-temperature and heat-shock food make the demonstration sessions climax again and again.
A Spanish bearded fish weighing two kilograms was cooked crispy and delicious in a China pot. Stir-fry the thick sauce of lobster sauce quickly, pour it on the fish, and match it with the classic Chinese dish watercress. Let the process of making food also become a sensory enjoyment.
At this year's Food Festival, the stories of two chefs about Chinese food and their exquisite cooking skills are particularly important on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Madrid Food Festival.
Food brands have become a bridge to the city.
Food is a language with flavor. After tasting food, people will feel bitter, sweet and sour, which can resonate with all mankind. And a world-class food festival is the common feeling of a city food lover, and it is also the collision of ideas and skills in the world food industry. And all this is a carnival of the city.
Nowadays, with the improvement of science and technology and logistics level, it has become a reality to produce original world cuisine in a city. In this context, the importance of talents in the food industry is even more important. An excellent chef is not only a cook, but also a disseminator of food culture.
On the one hand, the chef should study how the ingredients from the country of origin retain their original flavor in a specific city, and on the other hand, explore how to apply the original ingredients from this city to foreign dishes. The collision of urban cuisine has brought people endless imagination. By sending chefs and ingredients to cities around the world, the cheerful atmosphere brought by the food festival can also be passed on.
Food is a powerful starting point of a city's world fame, and large-scale festivals are the best opportunity for the city to introduce food to the world. With the promotion of the state, government and industry associations, the on-site communication between experts and famous chefs makes every food more aesthetic.
When a city has a distinctive food festival, under the continuous influence of the brand of food festival activities, the related industries will have sustained motivation. The large-scale urban food festival, represented by Madrid Food Festival, not only builds an international platform, but also provides more opportunities for China's urban food to go overseas.
With more and more chefs from China, ingredients from China and famous dishes from China going overseas, the era of brand change driven by food innovation has also arrived. The carnival brought by the food festival will also bring the joyful atmosphere to more cities with the exchange and cooperation between urban cuisines.
