In the study of culinary arts and crafts, banquet dishes are used as a medium to create a harmonious relationship between the producers and the eaters, creating a chorus of beauty and a common pursuit of beauty.
Culinary arts and crafts run through the entire process of cooking practice from beginning to end. Whether it is high-end banquets and receptions, exquisite dishes, exquisite food carvings, or popular diets and ordinary dishes, they are all inseparable from the knowledge of culinary arts and crafts.
It is an urgent task for current culinary workers to correctly understand and deeply understand the artistic concept of culinary arts and crafts, and to apply it rationally in practice.
Human appetite is limited by physiological conditions and always has a certain "quantity" and "degree". Therefore, human appetite enjoyment is limited, but artistic enjoyment is unlimited.
With the continuous improvement of human material life, human society not only needs cooking, but also needs to use culinary art methods to enrich, beautify and improve cooking.
At present, although many artistic dishes have been innovated in the culinary world, and some good works that harmoniously integrate color, shape, materials, taste and craftsmanship have appeared, there are still many shortcomings.
On the whole, culinary art is still far behind its sister arts.
The appearance of many banquet dishes is not beautiful, the quality is not high, and the tendency to one-sidedly pursue the superficial appearance of the dishes still exists, making the innovative artistic dishes nondescript or without edible value.
In some places, the artistic level of dishes is limited to whether there are food carvings and rims. Many people do not understand the meaning of cooking arts and crafts. When it comes to cooking art, whether it is a cold dish or a hot dish, a few flowers are placed on it.
Carve small flowers.
This approach not only lowers the quality of Chinese food, but also damages the reputation of Chinese cooking.
Therefore, the main purpose of compiling the book "Cooking Arts and Crafts" is to study, advocate and promote the artistic rules of cooking modeling, and to improve and expand the aesthetics and innovation ability of cooking authors.
On the one hand, this book makes a theoretical exploration of the rules of cooking modeling art, and on the other hand, it explains the raw material selection, processing configuration and modeling aesthetic style of dish modeling, with pictures and texts, combining theory and practice.
The illustrations of the dishes throughout the book are carefully designed and drawn by the author, striving to be relevant and practical.
The book "Cooking Arts and Crafts", as a study on the practice of cooking modeling teaching, has certain guiding value for standardization, stylization, innovative education and aesthetic education of cooking modeling art.
