“The Faroese have always been exporting langoustines, but we never ate them ourselves,” says Poul Andrias Ziska, head chef of Koks, the islands’ first and only Michelin-starred restaurant. “I discovered the langoustine as an ingredient when I started cooking at a professional level.” Ziska sears the meat on one side only to achieve depth of flavor from caramelization while preserving its delicate texture. The dish is paired with a seasonal bouquet of cultivated and wild herbs and finished with a sprinkling of dehydrated-and-powdered pine needles for a light, citrusy accent.

法罗群岛上首间及唯一一间米其林星级餐厅「Koks」主厨 Poul Andrias Ziska 表示：「我们向来只出口海螯虾，从来不自己吃。我刚成为专业厨师时才第一次发现可以将海螯虾用作食材。」海螯虾经 Poul 单面香煎，经焦化提取出深层的美味，中间微热但还是生的。旁边放着一束植栽与野生香草，

Until 2004, when a tunnel was blasted through one of the surrounding mountains to connect the Faroese village of Gásadalur with the rest of the island, only its sixteen inhabitants – and the hardiest and most determined of visitors – could appreciate this stunning vista of Múlafossur Waterfall and the tiny hamlet beyond. 一条穿山隧道在2004年修建完成，连接Gásadalur村和法罗群岛的其他地方。在这之前，只有16名居民，以及决意探访这片秘境的游客，能欣赏到Múlafossur瀑布的壮丽景色和这个堪比「世外桃源」的小村庄。

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Famously described as “the windy edge of nowhere,” the Faroe Islands is one of the most remarkable destinations that Tasting Kitchen has had the pleasure to feature. It’s a land filled with natural beauty and bounty, and this issue explores the nation’s art, design, landscape, and cuisine – and, of course, its world-renowned abundance of fresh seafood. Our journey was unforgettably shaped by our host, Marni Gunnar Simonsen, a seafood exporter who revels in sharing the joys of the Faroes with his guests. Over the week that we spent with him, we began to think of Marni as the islands’ Walt Disney, always revealing a wonderful new surprise around every corner. On the very first morning, he pulled off the highway and down a narrow lane to a small harbor, where he asked us to jump out, run around the corner, and look for a box. Once we’d retrieved it and brought it back to the shore, we looked inside to find sea urchins in a rainbow of hues. Marni produced a knife and we all proceeded to enjoy a uni tasting on the rocks right next to the ocean. Another day, Marni drove to the top of a rise, parked without warning, and instructed us to get out and bring our bags with us. Cresting the hill, we came upon a helicopter waiting to take us to a neighboring island inaccessible by road. The most memorable evening was the final one at Marni’s house when he arrived with two boxes of live langoustines. He taught us how to avoid getting pinched by the powerful claws of the feisty crustaceans by carefully picking them up behind the neck. Equipped with a pot of boiling water, we cooked dinner with our own hands, blanching each langoustine for just ten seconds. sauce, and slightly charred. Marni predicted that after experiencing the beautiful pure flavor of a langoustine fresh from the sea, we would never forget it. He was right, and every one we taste from now on will bring back memories – of the Faroes, of Marni’s inimitable hospitality, and of his love for the islands.

法罗群岛之源

essentially faroese Pure spring water, filtered through the volcanic basalt of mountainous islands, becomes the basis for a line of premium spirits.

ALTHOUGH CAPTURING THE ESSENCE of the Faroe Islands in a bottle of spirits may present interesting challenges, it wasn’t even legal until four years ago. Before then, liquor production was prohibited in the archipelago nation. But DISM, the company behind the first-ever Faroese distilled spirits, found a work-around in 2008 when it began exporting the crucial component, pristine Faroe Islands spring water, to neighboring countries for production. Now headquartered in Iceland, DISM is eyeing a possible relocation to the Faroes as it continues to craft its award-winning gin, vodka, and aquavits. And what could be more fitting than to present these exclusive Nordic libations in high-style Scandinavian glassware? 藉由蒸馏酒一品法罗群岛的醇馥幽郁是个饶富兴味的挑战，制酒在四年前才开始合法化，于此之前，群岛内禁止生产烈酒。然而在 2008 年，首产法罗群岛蒸馏酒的公司 DISM 采取了权宜之计，即出口关键原料－法罗群岛的纯水至邻近国家制酒。现今 DISM 总部位于冰岛，正等待迁址至法罗群岛的时机，同时也持续酿制获奖无数的琴酒、伏特加及北欧香芹酒。而斟倒这些绝无仅有的北欧美酒，还有什么比典雅的斯堪的纳维亚玻璃酒杯更匹配呢？

Amariel 回到法罗群岛后成为一位全职油画和石版画艺术家。深受童年的海边生活和得天独厚的自然景观影响，他的作品展现了波峰起伏下的船身和阳光洒落的弧线，这与穿着厚重服装的渔夫形成强烈对比。「变化多端的天气创造出不 Amariel 说道：可思议的光影，总是能轻易触动每位艺术家细腻的感受。法罗群岛满布的山峦和峡湾，还有光线、色彩、波浪、强风和流水，总让我感到活力充沛。」

It was later, as an apprentice to a ship’s carpenter, that Norðoy discovered a drive for creative expression, an ambition that was never fully satisfied even after he qualified as a shipwright and helped to build intricate wooden ocean-going vessels. He finally applied to study at Copenhagen’s Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, was accepted, and attended from 1977 to 1983. When Norðoy returned to the Faroe Islands, he took up a career as a full-time artist whose paintings and lithographs show the obvious influence of his early life on the sea and of the overwhelming presence of natural forces on the islands. His works reveal the curved forms of fishing vessels juxtaposed against faceted ocean crests and dramatic arcs of sunlight contrasting with the blunt lines of heavily clothed fishermen. “The ever-changing weather creates an incredible play of light that touches the feelings of any artist,” Norðoy says. “The mountains and fjords, light, color, waves, strong winds, and currents in and around the Faroes fill me with energy.”

在法罗群岛的首都托尔斯港最古老的城区，矗立着一幢两层式小巧楼房，这里历尽五百年历史人文流转，乘载着从低调大门前呼啸而过的亚北极风。随着 2017 年秋天托尔斯港分店的开幕，丹麦的精酿啤酒品牌米凯乐悄然踏入这条传统的时间长廊。法罗群岛曾在 1908 年颁布禁酒令，直至 1992 年才正式解除，如今正朝着旅游和观光业的蓬勃发展迈进，现在当地酒吧和餐厅林立，更成立了两家在地啤酒酿造厂。Mikkel Borg Bjergsø，米凯乐的创办人兼所有人，曾多次造访法罗群岛，遂开启了和其中一家啤酒酿造厂

Okkara 的合作，进而促使他与满怀创意的法罗实业家 Johannes Jensen 携手，在岛上最大的城市中，于一座非凡的建筑物内，共同开设酒吧。这栋由 Johannes 和 Mikkel 选中的久远建筑，现成为米凯乐帝国版图一部分，之前历经两任屋主。虽然曾有花店店主占据这里的地下室，

IN ONE THE OLDEST PARTS OF TÓRSHAVN, capital of the Faroe Islands, is a diminutive two-story house that has seen five hundred years of history, humanity, and howling subarctic winds pass by its unobtrusive front door. Danish microbrewery Mikkeller stepped softly into this timeline of tradition when it opened Mikkeller Tórshavn in the structure in the autumn of 2017. Despite the fact that the Faroe Islands’ alcohol ban, imposed in 1908, wasn’t lifted until 1992, the country is now home to a flourishing tourism and hospitality industry, including a thriving bar and restaurant scene and two homegrown breweries. Mikkel Borg Bjergsø , founder and owner of Mikkeller, who had visited the Faroes a couple of times, began collaborating with one of these breweries, Okkara. This led to the prospect of opening a bar in partnership with a creative Faroese entrepreneur named Johannes Jensen in a curious little building in the islands’ largest town. The aged building that Jensen and Bjergsø had chosen for the newest addition to the Mikkeller empire was originally two tiny residences. Although a florist had once occupied the basement and

房子也在近几年成为资源回收据点，但屋子的结构仍完整地保留下来。墙上原有的装潢、窗框、屋顶及其原建材等，在丹麦 Scale Design 工作室设计师 Pascale Nemery 的主导下，在尽量维持建筑原貌的前提下进行翻新工作。酒吧内有两层楼。因为厨房、暖气、浴室和员工室都设在隔壁房子，故两层楼的墙面上没有任何装饰。地板和玻璃窗是新装设的，而原有的木质建材都在翻新工程中被重新利用。

Johannes 以本地人的角度诠释法罗群岛的传统，特地为此翻新的空间选用量身订做的家具。「我们想要创造米凯乐代表 Pernille Pang 说：既舒适又温暖的氛围，新装潢必须和旧建筑相互辉映，同时必须展现米凯乐酒吧的风格。」米凯乐精酿啤酒品牌秉持当地化的设计理念，足迹遍布三十九个国家。 Pernille 说道：「我们无法拿这里的分店和其他分店比较。我们不喜欢重覆同样的风格，所以致力于让每一家分店都是独一无二的存在。」米凯乐啤酒吧东京分店落脚在涩谷的红灯区；洛杉矶分店前身是卖轮胎的商店；在哥本哈根的桶陈室 Baghaven 曾是工业修船厂的一部分。「我们希望能让建筑特色深 Pernille 补充道：度融入当地社群和文化。我们可以骄傲地说，托尔斯港分店可谓为全世界最独特、最美丽的酒吧之一。」

the building had recently served as a recycling center, the structure had fortunately retained its traditional facade. Under the direction of Pascale Nemery of the Danish firm Scale Design, the decision was made to keep the exterior as authentic as possible: the architecture of the walls, window frames, and roof, as well as their original materials, were untouched by upgrades. Inside, the bar fills both stories. With the kitchen, heating system, bathroom, and staff room all located in the house next door, the floor space on both levels is free of interior walls. New flooring and window panes were installed, but almost all of the wooden finishings were reclaimed from the renovation. Jensen, with his local insight into Faroese traditions, was integral in selecting custom-made furniture for the renovated spaces. “We wanted to make it very cozy and warm,” says Mikkeller representative Pernille Pang, “and the new interior had to fit the old building. But, at the same time, it had to be obvious that it’s a Mikkeller bar.” This localization of the design is in keeping with the brewery’s thirty-nine other establishments around the world. “We can’t really compare it to any other place,” adds Pang. “We don’t like the idea of repeating ourselves, so we strive to make each bar as one-of-a-kind as possible.” Mikkeller’s Tokyo location is in the old red-light district in Shibuya, their LA bar had been a tire shop, and their Baghaven barrel

A legendary region of Romania produces wines of fragrant and fruity appeal. COLUMN AND ART BY SARAH HELLER

TK | the faroe islands

A LT H O U G H R O M A N I A N W I N E S may lack the cachet of more familiar European labels, the evocative name of Transylvania, a region in the heart of Romania that is bounded by lushly forested mountains, lends its wines an irresistible allure. Transylvania’s grapes and wines are intertwined with Romanian history and with the sometimes-turbulent coexistence of the diverse peoples that have made it their home over the past millennia. A case in point is the fetească neagră (“black maiden”) grape, closely associated with the Black Army of Matthias Corvinus. This Romanian-born fifteenth-century ruler, who eventually became King of Hungary and Croatia, King of Bohemia, and Duke of Austria, is said to have served fetească neagră wine to his generals after battle. In contrast to the many semisweet or fully sweet versions of this wine is the dry-style Almásy 496 Fetească Neagră, IG Dealurile Satmarului 2016 from Satu Mare in Northern Transylvania. It begins as a smoky, earthy mantle around a dense heart, which gradually uncoils to reveal juicy and fragrant red fruit with notes of rosebud tea. A whiff of umami lingers throughout. Its mysterious profile and storied heritage are why this is one of the first selections I added to the Almásy Collection of Central European wines.

散发出令人难以抗拒的魅力。一千年来，特兰西瓦尼亚在不同民族占领下兴衰动荡，而此地的葡萄及葡萄酒与罗马尼亚历史紧密交织，也可说是这块土地时代变迁下的产物。例如，英文名为 black maiden 的 fetească neagră 葡萄就与马加什一世的黑军有密切关系。马加什一世是十五世纪生于罗马尼亚的统治者，后来当上匈牙利跟克罗地亚的国王、波希米亚国王以及奥地利公爵。据传，在打完仗后，他会将 fetească neagră 葡萄酒赏予将领们。此款 2016 年产自特兰西瓦尼亚北部萨图马雷的 Fetească Neagră 葡萄酒属干型（不甜），与许多半甜型或全甜型的酒款不同。入口之初，漾出一层紧绕核心的烟熏质感，随后逐渐向外开展，流露出红葡萄带点玫瑰花茶调性的香润芬芳，一阵回甘，由内向外萦绕久久不散。正是图中这款酒如此微妙的风格与传奇渊源，让我第一个就选中它成为中欧葡萄酒 Almásy 精选系列的成员。

A LEISURELY TWO-HOUR HIKE from Tórshavn, capital of the Faroe Islands, begins with an immediate ascent to a vista point with a panoramic view of the seaside town and the island of Nólsoy beyond the harbor. Alternating between a rocky path and a soft grass trail, the trek takes hikers past ancient cairns, tranquil lakes, and seascapes of the islands to the south and west and then climaxes with a heart-stirring first glimpse of the dark, turf-roofed houses and sheds that make up the picturesque village of Kirkjubøur. Most visitors are drawn to the settlement’s impressive historic sites, including the ruins of the fourteenth-century Magnus Cathedral and a Viking Age runestone. The village is also home to the oldest still-active church in the Faroe Islands, the twelfth-century Saint Olav’s, and probably the world’s oldest still-inhabited wooden farmhouse, the eleventh-century Kirkjubøargarður. But, beginning in 2016, the main attraction for culinary enthusiasts suddenly became a village home from which internationally lauded restaurant Koks operated, until its recent move to an old farmhouse in a remote valley near Lake Leynar.

THE FAROE ISLANDS | TK |

Poul Andrias Ziska

Andrias Ziska views it as an entirely suitable buildup to a tasting menu that showcases Faroese terroir and is inspired by scents and sights from across the islands. A case in point is Ziska’s dessert of sorrel ice cream. It is accompanied by a granita that is a pure expression of the aroma of fresh grass crushed underfoot and by crispy lichen that recalls the common sight of lichen-covered rocks. In earlier courses, Ziska introduces diners to the natural flavors of the products of the land and the surrounding seas, as well as to the intense flavors brought forth by traditional Faroese techniques of fermentation, pickling, salting, and curing. “One of our strengths,” he says, “is that we can get fish and shellfish so quickly, often within hours and still alive, from the sea and onto the table, so some of our courses focus on their purity and freshness.” He presents a seafood platter of sea urchins, queen scallops, razor clams, and mahogany clams served fresh and raw, without added salt or any preparation beyond cleaning and shucking.

Sorrel ice cream, grass granita, and crispy lichen 酸模冰淇淋、青草冰沙、酥脆苔藓 “This dish more or less recreates the feeling of walking in the mountains. We had been working with the flavors for a while. “The ice cream is made from sorrel, and the granita is made from grass. Then you have the crispy lichen, soaked in syrup and dehydrated, for a bit of texture and sweetness.” 「这道料理多多少少重现了走在山里的感受，我们花了好一段时间才研制出这样的口味。」「冰淇淋是用酸模做的，冰沙用青草制成，然后还有酥脆的苔藓，浸在糖浆里经过脱水，增添口感和甜味。」

Ziska believes that the amount of time that lapses between catch and consumption is one of the major factors affecting the texture and flavor of fresh food. In 2016, while running a brief pop-up stint in Salzburg, Austria, he found that the imported sea urchins, though still fresh and alive, had acquired a completely different, more floral flavor profile during transit. “It wasn’t bad,” he says, “but I had to accept that the flavor really, really wasn’t the same. We now know that we can serve these types of fresh courses only here on the Faroe Islands. When we go to other locations, we focus more on technical or traditional courses.” Many traditional Faroese flavors, however, are acquired tastes, and Ziska must forever tread a fine line to deliver authentic flavors in a manner acceptable to both local and foreign diners.

Poul 认为从捕捞到入口的时间长短，是影响新鲜食材口感与味道的关键因素。2016 年他在奥地利萨尔斯堡短暂经营快闪店期间，发现进口海胆尽管鲜活，却在运送过程中吸取了一种截然不同、比较花俏的味道。他表示：「这种味道不是不好，但我必须说味道真的、真的变得不一样了。如今我们知道，唯有在法罗群岛这里才可能供应制作生鲜料理的食材，餐厅在其他地方则会更注重技术精致或传统的菜式。」 the faroe islands

然而，许多传统法罗口味都是逐渐培养出来的，Poul 必须随时拿捏分寸，让当地人与游客都能接受餐厅的道地风味。但另一方面，他也乐于挑战顾客，煽动他们的味蕾。

2017 年的品尝菜单上有一道饶富兴味的料理，重新诠释并结合了三道传统的法罗菜：甜饼干 góðarað、以羊脂与内脏制成的香肠 garnatálg、风干发酵的鱼 ræstur fiskur。饼干通常为搭配咖啡食用的午后点心，另外两种则通常会与马铃薯一起煮。但「Koks」团队用发酵的羊在 Poul 的指示下，

combines three traditional Faroese dishes: a sweet cookie called góðarað , a sausage of sheep tallow and innards called garnatálg , and air-dried, fermented fish called ræstur fiskur . The cookie is often enjoyed as an afternoon snack with coffee, and the other two are typically boiled with potatoes. But under Ziska’s direction, the Koks team makes a cream from the fermented lamb tallow, grates the ræstur fiskur on top, and serves it as a smear to go with some uniquely cheese-flavored góðarað. “The dish works so well because we always get a strong reaction from everyone,” says Ziska. “It’s all twisted for Faroese people – they recognize the cookie but not its flavor, and they recognize the flavor of the tallow and fish, but it looks like a cream with snow on top. For foreigners, the fermented tallow has a very heavy, intense flavor.” If they don’t enjoy the heavy flavor, that’s OK too: “For me, it’s good if people don’t like everything on the tasting menu. I don’t just want to please them, I want to show them something. I like the menu to go up and down.” Ziska admits that vegetables are not a strength of Kok’s Faroese cuisine, given the limited varieties of produce – such as rutabagas, potatoes, turnips, and rhubarb – that are able to thrive on the islands. Fresh fruits and vegetables, however, are served during their very short season. But the restrictions imposed by the harsh climate also inspire innovative flavors like pickled pine, fermented gooseberries, burnt juniper ash, and leek-top oil. “We have some dishes that are on the menu for one week and then are taken off because we can no longer get enough produce,” he says. “We can’t control it, it’s completely dynamic. But if we want to be a Faroese restaurant, we have to work with what we get.”

IF EVER A PLACE EMBODIED THE OLD CLICHÉ, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes,” it would be the Faroe Islands. With our planned excursion of the previous day postponed due to high winds, we’re hoping to sail out on the fjords later in the afternoon to observe a langoustine fisherman at work. We’ve already experienced a full cycle of bright sunlight, ominous cloud cover, steady drizzle, light snow flurries, and clear blue skies once again, all within the span of half an hour. “The weather looks nice,” TK photographer David Hartung offers cheerfully. Our host, Marni Gunnar Simonsen, who lives on the islands and is accustomed to dealing in pragmatism rather than optimism, replies matter-of-factly, “But it might change.” We’re reminded that in a land where driving winds have been known to blow hard enough to reverse the flow of a waterfall and where dense fogbanks can quickly envelop and disorient seasoned local residents as well as tourists, the Faroese understand and respect the quicksilver changeability of weather better than most. In fact, people still speak as if it were yesterday of a century-old tragedy in which fifty-four boats were lost in a single storm that seemed to come out of nowhere. “It was a nice day,” says Simonsen, “but the weather changed rapidly, and the storm just hit. There’s not much you can do when the waves are like that. If you attempt to come back to shore, the waves will smash you against the rocks.”

有一句老话：「如果你不喜欢此刻的天气，，而法罗群岛恐怕是那就等上五分钟吧 !」这世界上最能让人体会这句话的地方了。由于大风推迟了我们前一天的行程，下午我们更加期盼能在峡湾观察捕捞海螯虾的渔民。这里天气变幻莫测，我们在仅仅半小时内历经了灿烂的阳光、密布的乌云、毛毛的细雨、稀疏的雪花，最后又是万里晴空。摄影师 David Hartung 兴致勃勃地说：「这天气看起来挺好的。」但接待我们的

Marni Gunnar Simonsen 却毫不讳言地说：「可能会风云变色。」身为岛上居民，他早就习惯了实事求是，也不要过度乐观。有人提醒我们，岛上疾风强到能逆转瀑布的流向，能使当地居民及游客瞬间被浓雾包围并失去方向。法罗群岛的岛民对如此瞬息万变的天气深有体悟并敬重。岛上居民其实都对一桩世纪前的船难记忆犹新，当时一场莫名的暴风雨击沉了「那天原来风五十四艘船。Marni 回忆道：和日丽，却倏地风色大作，狂风暴雨。面对滔天巨浪，大伙儿也是进退两难，要掉头回到岸边根本不可能。在骇浪之中，船只能撞上礁岩，被击个粉碎。」眼见为凭，Marni 带我们到最南端的 the faroe islands

To illustrate, he takes us to the treacherous landing harbor of Hvalbiareiði on the southernmost island of Suðuroy to bear witness to the waves battering the outcropping of rocks that serve as a makeshift jetty. The seas are relatively calm this day, and modern amenities like a paved path, concrete steps, and a handrail ameliorate the steep, one-hundred-meter descent to sea level. But it isn’t difficult to imagine how perilous an undertaking it once was to land boats and port them up to safety. “As you can see, it’s not a good harbor,” he says. “But some days, maybe the conditions are better here than on the other side of the island. If weeks went by and the fishermen from Hvalba couldn’t leave from the easier harbor on the east coast, then they had to take their chances here. It’s just part of our fishing story.” In Viðareiði, the islands’ northernmost settlement, where the climate averages one degree colder than Suðuroy’s and where every storm rages more fiercely, the harsher conditions inevitably influence the culture and identity of its inhabitants. “The people are sturdier,” Simonsen says, “they’re fighters.” Although they represent just 10 percent of the population, their fishermen account for 35 percent of the Faroe Islands’ seafood exports. The country is made up of eighteen islands separated by narrow channels and expansive fjords. With no spot on the archipelago further than five kilometers from the coast, it follows that the sea has always played a central role in Faroese culture, as both a means of survival and a way of life. “In the Faroe Islands, at every birthday, every wedding, every funeral, it’s all about fish,” says Simonsen. “With each story, you’re naturally being schooled to understand things.”

The islands’ fishing industry accounts for well over 90 percent of the total goods and services exported. The surrounding fishing grounds are so rich in marine life, and the fishermen so industrious, that the country’s small population of fifty thousand can bring in an annual catch of six hundred thousand metric tons from around one thousand kilometers of coastline. It’s a greater production than that of Brazil, which has a population of two hundred million and more than eight thousand kilometers of coastline. Although the Faroe Islands are located in the subarctic region between Iceland, Norway, and Scotland, they have an unusually temperate climate because of the warm tropical waters of the nearby North Atlantic Current. Even so, the Faroes don’t readily yield much by way of flora and fauna. And what does manage to thrive in the stark landscape and the dauntingly short season must be preserved for consumption during the barren off-season.

The islands’ dearth of native forests precludes smoking as a method of food preservation, and the prohibitive cost of salt makes salt-curing impractical. Once again, however, the ocean provides, this time in the form of stiff sea breezes. The winds have a high enough salt content to flavor the meat and assist in the drying process without inhibiting fermentation. A drive through any village reveals scores of Atlantic cod and saithe hanging from the eaves like icicles, half drying and half fermenting into homemade ræstur fiskur . Most farmhouses also have a hjallur , a detached shed purposely built with large gaps between the tar-covered planks that allow ocean winds to blow through and dry the hanging mutton

Until 2004, this home to a mere sixteen villagers was accessible in any of three hazardous ways: by helicopter through frequently blustery skies, by ferry across choppy waters to a poor landing site, or on foot over an arduous mountain path. Today, however, Gásadalur is emblematic of the Faroe Islands for more than its photogenic Múlafossur Waterfall. With the explicit purpose of providing for the needs of an acknowledged few, the Faroese government embarked on a fifteen-year, DKK35M project to blast a roadway tunnel through the mountain. “The point is that, in the name of the community, everyone is entitled to be connected,” says Simonsen, whether by mountain tunnel, sub-sea tunnel, bridge, causeway, ferry route, or even government-subsidized helicopter service. “Everyone has to be on the boat.”

细窄的海峡及辽阔的峡湾所隔，由于群岛上完全没有一处超过五公里的陆地，海洋才是法罗群岛文化中的主角，是生命之道，也是「在法罗群岛，婚丧求生之法。Marni 说道：喜庆总是离不开『鱼』。藉由每次的经历，自然而然就能体认到这些道理。」岛上的渔业占了当地总商品及劳务出口量的百分之九十以上，因其周围鱼货丰饶的渔场及辛勤的渔民，仅仅五万人口却能从约一千公里外的海岸线捕到每年六十万公吨的渔获量，远远胜过了拥有两亿人口及八千公里海岸线的巴西。虽然法罗群岛位处于冰岛、挪威和苏格兰之间的亚北极区气候带，但由于邻近北大西洋暖流，所以异常地拥有温和的气候。即便如此，岛上可食用的花草作物或动物产量却很少。于是岛民需要未雨绸缪，必须妥善贮存在土地贫瘠及极短生长季的环境下所获得的各种食材或资源，以面对非生长季期间的需求。岛上天然林业资源贫瘠，炭木稀少，使人们无法以烟熏的方式来保存食物；另一方 the faroe islands

海螯虾狂想曲

CONSIDER THE LANGOUSTINE The Faroe Islands’ “langoustine guy” shares his zeal with the world.

M A R N I G U N N A R S I M O N S E N is not a man for half measures, and if we want to be as exacting as he is, we must sample his langoustines by cooking them ourselves, which is certainly no easy task. Simonsen’s langoustines often arrive in Hong Kong and elsewhere around the world drowsy and docile from a fortyeight-hour journey at temperatures low enough to slow their metabolic rate and increase their chances of survival. But in the Faroe Islands, just a short drive from the fjords where they are caught, there’s no need to rouse these paradoxically delicate crustaceans from their frigid lethargy, because here the langoustines are wide awake and fighting mad. A cacophony of crackling stridulations emanates from a foam shipping box where fifty-four very live langoustines, diminutive cousins of the lobster, squirm against the corrugated dividers of their individual compartments. Strict separation prevents potential territorial disputes between the feisty occupants. And, as we jerk our fingers back from snapping pincers protruding above the partitions, we appreciate how necessary such precautions are. Reducing stress is Simonsen’s primary objective, and the segregated berths effectively serve to soothe and settle the langoustines by simulating their natural dwellings, narrow burrows dug deep into the soft mud of the seabed, where they retreat tail first, with pincers menacingly extended. “Langoustines are extremely perishable,” Simonsen says, “much more so than lobsters. Just seeing a langoustine alive is like a miracle.” Not only do they easily succumb outside of their natural environment, but, once dead, their flesh rapidly begins to deteriorate into an unpleasant, mushy mess. As Simonsen points out, any stress they experience further exacerbates matters after death: “I was once served

Marni Gunnar Simonsen 不是个半吊子的人。若我们希望变得他一样严格苛刻，就必须自己动手，烹煮他的海螯虾来体验，而这绝对是个艰巨的任务。Marni 的海螯虾若要运送到香港及世界其他地方，为减缓代谢速率并提高存活率，它们必须待在极低温的环境里长达 48 小时，抵达目的地时已是头昏脑胀，只能任人摆布。但在法罗群岛，从捕捞海鲜的峡湾到餐厅只有一小段距离，完全不需将这些娇嫩的甲壳动物从寒冷的昏睡中唤醒，因为它们全都清醒得很，还会生龙活虎地打架呢。一阵窸窸窣窣的声响，从一只装有

Marni 这么做最主要的目的是减少海螯虾的压力。在天然栖地的海螯虾会深入海床软泥挖出狭窄洞穴，然后先把尾巴放进去，留着大螯在外面防御敌人。这些隔间近似它们的天然栖地，因此能有效安抚海螯虾的情绪。「海螯虾的死亡率非 Marni 表示：常高，比龙虾容易多了，光是目睹一只活的海螯虾就是奇迹。」这种虾不只在天然环境以外的地方死亡率甚高，而且一旦死亡，身体很快就

Simonsen, however, refuses to compromise on quality. As a former frustrated middleman in the fish-distribution channel who had to field customer complaints, he aspired to do better by supplying a product so perfect that no customer would ever think of raising a criticism against it. “If I’m going to take on a project,” he says, “then I have to find the most difficult one – and that’s definitely the langoustine. Fifteen years ago, no one believed it could be possible to send live langoustines from the Faroe Islands to virtually anywhere in the world.

虽然花了好几年，但 Marni 用这套理念成功说服了当地渔夫，并将技术传授给他们。绝大多数海螯虾都是用网捕捞，它们可能在网里翻滚数小时后才被拖曳到船上，胡乱丢进大水缸里。然而，和 Marni 合作的渔夫做法不同，他们会特别用有诱饵的捕笼，一次只捕两至三只，将捕笼从海里拉上来后，会先移出海螯虾，一只只测量大小，再轻轻将它们从尾巴那端滑进类似 Marni 运送箱的个别隔间里。如果 Marni 发现某艘船的渔获死亡的特别多，他会直接到渔夫家里询问：「请详细说明你的作法好吗？」然后他们会一起分析情况，思考症结所在，找出解决之道。

Marni 发明了一种聪明的捕虾笼，用 Aquamesh 技术让捕笼的整体重量从十公斤降到一公斤，并且将笼子做成长方体以方便堆叠。他说：「经过多年证实，这种笼子比较好用，可减轻渔夫的负担。现在船上笼子几乎已不会纠缠在一起，一切流程都变得更顺。」「关键是为海螯虾创造一个没有压 Marni 解释：力的环境，这要从渔夫开始。如果能为海螯虾营造一个从船上到世界另一端的餐厅都相同的环境，厨师打开盒子，就可以看到活的海螯虾，世界任何地方的饕客就可以如同亲临此地一样，享用刚从船上捞到的新鲜海螯虾。」不过，可不是任何厨师都有这份荣幸能收到

If he notes too many dead among a catch from a particular boat, Simonsen drives to the fisherman’s house and asks, “Can you tell me exactly what you did?” Together, they analyze the situation, figure out what went wrong, and find solutions. Simonsen has invented a superior lobster trap, using Aquamesh to bring the total weight down from ten kilograms to one and constructing it in a rectangular shape for better stackability. “It’s been proven now after so many years that the trap fishes better and with less burden on the fishermen,” he says. “There’s almost no entanglement aboard the boat now, and everything runs more smoothly. “The key is to create a stressless environment for the langoustines, and it starts with the fishermen. If we can maintain that same level from the boat to a restaurant on the other side of the world, then the chef can actually open the box and pull out a live langoustine. And the guest, who

may be sitting anywhere in the world, can have an experience as close as possible to getting a langoustine fresh off the boat here.” The honor of receiving Simonsen’s langoustines is not bestowed on just any chef. Stories, in fact, abound of how chefs through the years have sought him out. Paul Bartolotta, former head chef of Bartolotta Ristorante Di Mare (now Costa di Mare), at Wynn Las Vegas searched high and low at industry trade shows. Once he finally met Simonsen, it took another two years to convince him to sell him his langoustines. Celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern sent his staff from the Bizarre Foods show on a two-year hunt for the elusive langoustine distributor. A chef from Riga, Latvia, who met Simonsen for a culinary show he recorded on the Faroe Islands, now orders langoustines regularly for his restaurant and has actually created a demand in a country that never had a tradition of eating them. “I tell chefs,” says Simonsen, “‘Come and visit. We’ll

have a chat and you’ll get an introduction to langoustines.’ Then when I serve them, I say nothing – I just watch and see what happens.” Simonsen recalls witnessing chefs weep with joy, as if struck by an epiphany. He has also seen tears of despair when he’s been forced to cut off distribution because of a lack of respect for the product and his philosophy. “When you live in the Faroe Islands’ harsh environment and the fishermen are suffering and sometimes risking their lives, you want to know that those receiving our langoustines really appreciate them,” he says. “It isn’t only about money, it’s about emotions.” Chef René Redzepi once wrote of visiting the Faroe Islands and of the revelation he experienced when tasting Simonsen’s langoustines for the first time. He credited the trip with fueling his imagination and giving him the confidence to open Noma one year later. “Somehow we had inspired something in him,” says Simonsen. I tell my fishermen, ‘The world’s best restaurant is using your langoustines.’” the faroe islands

AT UWE, his new restaurant on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, Chef Uwe Opocensky says it’s all about freshness: “We have a set menu that changes seasonally and is completely dependent on the availability of fresh ingredients. By having just one menu, we can really focus on giving the best experience to the guest by serving them food that we believe is right for right now.” Opocensky was first exposed to ingredients from the Faroe Islands in Hong Kong four years ago when he participated in an event with the famous Copenhagen restaurant Noma. “They obviously use a lot of ingredients from the Faroe Islands,” he says, “and did so for that event, so I got to know the local supplier here. And once you’ve had langoustines from the Faroe Islands, you can’t go back!” The chef and the supplier now have a long-standing relationship. “I don’t tell him what I want, I think that’s the wrong way around,” he says. “The supplier should be the one saying, ‘I’ve got this and this and this.’ It’s a much more natural way, and I think it’s the way it should be. We should be at the mercy of the ingredients, not the other way around.” 法罗群岛有幸拥有许多地球上最珍贵的食材资源。该地位置偏远，澎湃海流使周边海域水质保持鲜活，在这得天独厚的环境下，各种供出口的海产得以繁盛生长。在上环荷李活道一家新开张的餐厅「Uwe」，主厨 Uwe Opocensky 强调烹饪最重要的秘诀就是新鲜：「当季的新鲜食材更替，我们的时令套餐紧随之变化。正因为我们只提供一份餐单，我们更能专注于提供最『对时对味』的料理，为客人带来无可比拟的用餐体验。」

Uwe 四年前与知名的哥本哈根餐厅「Noma」出席了一场活动，那是他第一次在香港接触到来自法罗群岛的食材。他说：「显然他们使用许多来自法罗群岛的食材，在那次活动中也不例外，因而我也结识了当地供应商。一旦吃过法罗群岛的海螯虾，就会感慨『曾经沧海难为水』。」如今 Uwe 和供应商维系长期的合作关系，他说：「我不会指名需要什么食材，而是由供应商告诉我，他们最近有哪些食材可以供应，如此才合乎自然规律。食材是主，我们是客，我们的饮食应该取决于食材，而非反客为主。」

鲑鱼

SALMON 

WHEN IT COMES TO A FAROESE SALMON, Chef Opocensky takes the nose-totail approach and uses literally every part of this premium fish. The roe is washed in sake to make a mouthwatering caviar. The upper part of the fillet is made into sashimi and is also grilled. The belly becomes salmon confit through slow-cooking in butter and the fish’s natural fats. The trimmings are chopped into a tartare, and the head, collar, and tail are grilled. And it doesn’t stop there: “We also take the guts of the fish and ferment them. The end product is garum , an ancient sauce with a very rich flavor somewhere between soy sauce and fish sauce.”

主厨 Uwe 抱持物尽其用的原则「从鼻吃到尾」料理整条法罗鲑鱼。鱼卵以清酒冲洗后制成令人垂涎三尺的鱼子酱；上半部的鱼肉做成生鱼片及炙烧鲑鱼；鱼肚则以奶油及天然鱼油慢炖制成油封鲑鱼；碎边部分剁成生鲑鱼块，再炙烤剩下的鱼头、鱼下巴和「我们也将鱼内脏发鱼尾。不仅如此，Uwe 还说：酵后制成 garum 鱼酱，这是一种味道浓厚的传统酱汁，口感介于酱油和鱼露之间。」

LANGOUSTINES 

“THE BEAUTY OF THIS INGREDIENT,” explains Opocensky, “is that you do as little to it as possible, because it’s already stunning.” The shellfish arrive at the restaurant live, a practice that the chef hasn’t seen anywhere else in Hong Kong. He quickly blanches it to remove the shell before grilling one side only – just enough to get some heat through the meat – and then serves it with an emulsion of egg yolk and seaweed. Opocensky always advises guests to eat langoustines with their hands: “Cutlery just gets in the way. It has a much nicer taste when you just pick it up and eat.” 「这食材的奥妙在于要尽量保持它的原味，因为本身的味道就很出色。」这类食 Uwe 解释：材都是以新鲜活体的方式送达餐厅，这种方式在香港只此一家。他迅速将其汆烫并去壳，然后单面炙烧，让火温稍稍穿透即可，最后淋上蛋黄海藻慕斯酱摆盘上桌。Uwe 总是建议客人徒手直接吃，他说：「餐具太碍事了，直接用手拿起来吃更津津有味。」

THE LONGEST-LIVING species in Opocensky ’s kitchen is the mahogany clam, which spends its life buried in underwater sand and can survive for centuries. “Fishermen in the Faroes collect these clams by hand,” he says. “Since they move with the sea and the currents, sometimes the fishermen can find them and sometimes they can’t.” The rings on the shells, averaging around two hundred, indicate how many years they’ve lived. For this dish, the chef makes a tartlet shell from seaweed and milled emmer, an ancient grain. The clams are cooked in stock, which is reduced to purée consistency and used to cover the bottom of the tart. Delicate slices of the clam go on top, along with a garnish of sturgeon leaves and watercress. Uwe 厨房中最长寿的生物就是北极蛤，一生都埋藏在水下的沙泥中，足以存活好几个世纪。他说：「法罗群岛的渔民亲手采集这些蛤蜊。它们会随着大海和海流移动，因此有时渔民可以找得到，有时却又徒劳无功。」平均而言，这些蛤蜊外壳上都有约两百条环型纹路，代表着生长的年数。为了这道菜，主厨先用海藻和磨碎的二粒小麦（某种古麦）制作塔皮外壳，再以高汤熬煮北极蛤至如泥状的浓稠度，做为馅料覆盖塔皮底部，其上再铺以细嫩的蛤肉片，最后以鲟鱼叶和西洋菜点缀。

马贻贝

HORSE MUSSEL  GRO WING UP to twenty centimeters in length, many horse mussels from the Faroe Islands live for more than twenty-five years, with some surviving for fifty. “The size of these mussels really corresponds to their age,” says Opocensky. “They are just huge, like no mussel you’ve seen before, and with an exceptionally buttery taste.” The chef sweats them with onion and garlic to open the shell and then deglazes with white wine before taking out the meat. Unlike their smaller counterparts, these mussels can’t be eaten whole. Opocensky removes the digestive tract and ligaments before cooking. The rest of the meat and the other organs are cleaned, chopped, cooked much like a bolognaise in fresh tomato sauce, and served in the shell atop edible “sand.” 法罗群岛所产的马贻贝能长到二十公分长，许多能活到超过二十五年，有些甚至能活到五十年。Uwe 说：「贻贝的大小与它的生长年份成正比。它们的大小惊人，极少人见过如此大的贻贝，而且还意外地有着奶油般的口感。」主厨用大蒜和洋葱让马贻贝出水并开壳，再用白酒收汁后取出贻贝肉。不像其他较小的贻贝，这种马贻贝不能整个吃，所以 Uwe 在料理前会去除它的消化道及韧带，接着清洗及刀切处理剩下的贝肉及内脏，然后放入新鲜番茄酱汁中煮成如意大利肉酱，最后盛入贝壳摆盘，搭配可食用「沙子」便大功告成。

SEA SNAILS 

INGREDIENTS

EXTRACTING A SEA SNAIL from its shell is not a difficult procedure, but it does require some patience. To uncoil it, Opocensky gently spikes the meat and gingerly rolls it out, being careful not to rip the delicate flesh that spirals into the inner shell and contains the liver. The front part of the meat, with a firm texture, is cooked in stock and served whole. The liver is puréed with stock and Japanese cream to create an emulsion infused with garlic, herb, and seaweed, which comes to the table served in the shell. “I wanted this green sauce to be reminiscent of the traditional escargot,” says the chef. “Plenty of garlic and herbs and that really rich taste.”

THE ESSENCE OF EVERY GLASS of Champagne is pleasure. This was the understanding of my ancestor Joseph Krug, a non-conformist whose uncompromising philosophy and heritage it is my honour to uphold. He dreamt of offering the very best Champagne, every single year, regardless of variations in climate – a dream he brought to life in Krug Grande Cuvée, the fullest expression of Champagne. Throughout its history, Krug has been bringing people together for unforgettable moments. Wherever a bottle of Krug is shared, it possesses a wonderful ability to connect. There are no rules, no required expertise – simply shared pleasure. Nowhere is this truer than in our Krug Ambassades around the world, which are the setting for memorable sensory encounters. Their chefs are Krug lovers to the very core, connected by their mutual passion for Krug Champagnes but also by an adventurous spirit, creativity, and independence that echo those of my great-great-great-grandfather. Spurred on by their shared values, the Krug Ambassade Chefs profiled here came together in search of the finest fish with which to create some exquisite pairings. As a passionate amateur fisherman myself, it was a pleasure to see these gastronomic greats team up with local fishermen and take to the sea together. Inspired by their experience and the catch of the day, they created a multitude of captivating dishes. Their adventure and the culinary symphony that follows are testament to the bold creative exchanges fostered by Krug and the precious bond between the House, Krug Ambassade Chefs and Krug lovers everywhere.

FISHING FOR COMPLEMENTS Hong Kong’s Krug Ambassades return from their own seafaring adventures in Spain and share their explorations in pairing Krug Champagnes with a single featured ingredient, fish.

BY MAMIE CHEN PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID HARTUNG

•

THE STORY DIDN’T START IN AUGUST, when the six notables, named by Krug as Ambassade Chefs, were interviewed by TK . The topics were their work and the dishes they’d been invited to create for the House of Krug’s annual exploration of pairings of Krug Champagnes with single featured ingredients, in this case, fish. And the story didn’t start in February, when a dozen Krug Ambassade Chefs from around the world converged on the docks of the Spanish port of Cala Figuera on Mallorca. There they boarded fishing boats to try their hands at reeling in a catch and later worked their magic in the kitchen, all of which was duly documented in a fascinating book called Krug x Fish: Tails of the Sea . The story actually started a hundred and seventy-five years ago, when Joseph Krug founded a Champagne house based on the vision of producing a prestige cuvée each and every year, regardless of the vagaries of weather. Ever since, this remarkable achievement has required the highly skillful blending of wines from each current vintage with those from previous years to create a complex and well-rounded Champagne worthy of the name Krug Grande Cuvée. In another break with tradition, Krug believed that each vineyard, and even each plot within a vineyard, was capable of expressing its own character and personality. He paid respect to those distinctions by vinifying every parcel of grapes separately. the faroe islands

TK |

PRESENTED BY KRUG

In that way, Krug was able to taste the still wines individually, identify their unique flavors and aromas, and include them as discrete elements in the final recipe of Krug Grande Cuvée. Joseph Krug’s core principles remain in place today. Cellar master Eric Lebel currently has at his disposal about two hundred and fifty wines from this year’s harvest as well as a library of one hundred and fifty reserve wines from fourteen previous years. Like a conductor drawing forth a range of tones and timbres from a variety of instruments in a symphony orchestra, Lebel can pinpoint the exact vintages and vineyards he requires to complement the desired harmony, complexity, and richness of the final expression. Over the years since Krug began asking their Ambassade Chefs to pair Krug Champagnes with a single ingredient, some of them have been more challenging than others. This year’s selection delighted chefs by opening up a literal ocean of possibilities. With adventurous élan, they matched the generous, full expression of Krug Grande Cuvée with stunning gourmet creations and the daring spirit of Krug Rosé with some delightfully unexpected flavors.

八月，六位名厨被 Krug 酒庄任命为品牌形象大使，但这并不是本文的开端。这次 TK 邀请他们聊聊自身的工作，以及此次受邀为 Krug 香槟酒庄的年度料理探索所创作的新菜式，挑。选出的食材必须搭配 Krug 香槟，而这次的主题是「鱼」故事也不是从二月开始，那时十余位来自全球各地的 Krug 大使齐聚西班牙的马略卡岛，在卡拉菲格拉港登上渔船，试着亲手捕捞渔获，之后在厨房大显身手，这一切都详实记载在《Krug x

Fish: Tails of the Sea》一书中，内容引人入胜。 Joseph Krug 创立这间香槟酒庄时抱着远大的宗旨：无论天气或风土状况如何，每年都要生产一种特酿酒。要达成这项惊人成就，就得将今年生产的佳酿和稍早年份的酒加以混合，调制出口味多样又丰富的香槟，以求无愧于「Krug Grande Cuvée」的美名。

Joseph 还有一项突破传统的做法。他相信每一座葡萄园，甚至葡萄园中不同的土地，皆能传达出各自的个性和性情。他尊重这些特色，因此每一块土地上的葡萄都单独酿造成酒，如此一来，

Joseph 就能逐一品尝这些无泡葡萄酒的滋味，辨别出每种酒的风味和香气，最后再将它们与旗下的香槟混酿。直到今日，酒庄仍奉行 Joseph 的大原则。目前酒窖主管 Eric Lebel 手上大概有今年生产的 250 种葡萄酒，再加上可溯至 14 年前的 150 种陈年窖藏葡萄酒。正如交响乐团的指挥懂得从许多种乐器里面，引出各种不同的音质和音色，Eric 也能够从各葡萄园或各年份的佳酿中精确挑选，进而调制出充满和谐、丰富与多样性的好酒。

Krug 酒庄数年来邀请旗下的品牌大使为特定食材搭配适合的香槟，某些挑战显然更具难度。今年的选项开启了犹如大海般辽阔的可能性，让主厨们欣喜不已。主厨们个个跃跃欲试，打算用口味浑厚饱满的 Krug Grande Cuvée，搭配滋味迷人的菜式，另以深具大胆精神的 Krug Rosé 玫瑰香槟，搭配口感独到的佳肴。

What’s the most surprising dish you’ve ever served your guests?

在厨师生涯中，你最惊喜的出品是什么？

We braise fish maw in a fish broth. Then at tableside, we cover it with a sauce made from the emulsification of butter and the natural collagen from the fish maw, along with caviar, chives, and quinoa. So we’ve combined a very Chinese ingredient with a very French technique, and, multiplied together, we ended up with something that no one has ever tasted before.

有一次，我们先在鱼汤中焖煮鱼肚，之后

How did you find your own voice and vision as a chef? When I acknowledged not only that I’m Canadian, but that I was born in Hong Kong and am proud to be a Hong Konger. That’s when I realized how important it was for me to do this Chinese x French cuisine, where I merge all the knowledge I have from classical French training with the Chinese ingredients I find here in Hong Kong. It speaks loudly of myself and of my culture, and it has a strong connection for most of my guests that dine with us.

I open a bottle of Krug… Because I want to. I don’t limit myself to special occasions. Every day is a celebration. I might say I’m happy today, so let’s share a bottle of Krug and enjoy it together.

Are you a hunter, gatherer, or fisher? A fisher. Growing up in Canada, where summer isn’t very long, my friends and I would be out fishing almost every weekend the moment it hit in June. I was always floating in the middle of the lake, and I always kept three fishing rods and a big tackle box in the trunk of my car for days when we just ran across a lake, pulled over, and started fishing.

你至今吃过最好吃的一餐是？

It would be a meal cooked by my grandma. Even though I’m a professional chef, she uses techniques I still don’t really understand. I recently had to recreate her shi zi tou , Shanghai-style lion’s-head meatballs. She lives in New York, so I spent many hours with her on the phone talking about it. In the end, I think it turned out really well and I think my grandma would have been proud – it was at least 90 percent there.

TK | the faroe islands

业厨师，却还是不太懂她运用的技巧。我最近改良她拿手的「狮子头」，一道以肉丸为主的知名上海菜。祖母目前住在纽约，所以我们花了好几个小时通话，谈的全是这道菜。最后结果挺不赖的，至少有九成像，我想祖母应该倍感骄傲吧。

端到餐桌上，淋上乳化奶油制成的调味酱和鱼肚分泌出的天然胶原蛋白，再加上鱼子酱、细香葱和藜麦。我们用法式烹饪技巧来处理道地中国食材，而两者间的相应变化，就成就了一道前所未有的菜式。

身为厨师，你如何发掘个人观点及愿景？当我意认到自己不只是加拿大人，因为我在香港出生，更以身为香港人为荣，那一刻我才明白，做出中、法合璧的料理对我来说有多么重要。我可以运用传统的法国料理技巧，来烹调在香港找到的中国食材。我的个性和文化背景在料理中展露无遗，也深深引起顾客的共鸣。

我打开一瓶 Krug 香槟 …… 因为我想喝。我认为不只限特殊场合才喝。每天都值得庆祝。我会说今天真高兴，咱们开一瓶 Krug 香槟来享用吧。

你是猎人、采集者还是渔人？渔人。我在加拿大长大，当地的夏天很短，每逢六月感受到夏季热浪，我跟几个朋友几乎每周末都会去钓鱼。我经常在湖中央漂浮，车上也常备三支鱼杆和一个装有钓鱼装备的大箱，以便我们路过湖边时，可以随时停车钓鱼。

DISH CONCEPT

This is inspired by a very famous Sichuan dish called suan cai yu, a sour-cabbage fish. The Sichuan dish would never use pomfret, but it’s a very popular fish in Hong Kong. And the silver pomfret that I use is the most prestigious one. It has a meaty texture with a bold flavor that is complemented by the acidity of house-fermented cabbage, the spiciness of our house-made chili oil, and the umami of a French-style sauce made from the fish bones. 这道菜是受到名闻遐迩的川菜「酸菜鱼」所启发，是加上酸白菜的鱼料理。川菜从来不用鲳鱼，但香港人爱吃鲳鱼；何况我选用最顶级的白鲳，肉质腴厚肥美，风味鲜明，再结合自家腌白菜的酸味、自家酿造辣油的辣味，以及鱼骨熬成的法式酱汁的鲜味，堪称绝妙。

WINE PAIRING

Krug Rosé The Krug Rosé does more than hold its own against the spiciness of this dish. In fact, the acidity balances the heat of the chili while amplifying the underlying flavors. Krug Rosé 不光是抗衡这道菜的辛辣而已。事实上，它的酸度平衡了这道菜中辣椒的灼热口感，也突显了其他细微的味道。

What’s the best meal you’ve ever had? I’ve been very lucky to have eaten some amazing meals, so it would be unfair to mention just one. But for me, it’s always the same factors: time, location, and company. It’s about the memories and the emotions involved. And for me, Krug has been a perfect partner in those moments.

How did you find your own voice and vision as a chef? At some point as I got older, it just kicked in. I started to realize what I wanted to do and how I wanted to express myself. Somehow, I’ve developed a reputation for always creating dishes that are different. But I’m still evolving. My style has changed quite dramatically, even from just two years ago. The playfulness will always remain, but the ingredients will shine more brightly on their own than they might have in the past.

I open a bottle of Krug…

提其中一道不太公平。但对我而言，主要考量始终是时间、地点和一起用餐的人。重要的是回忆和其中激发的情感。Krug 香槟可说是这些美好时刻的最佳拍挡。

身为厨师，你如何发掘个人观点及愿景？在我日益成熟的某个时间点，突然就有了想法。我开始明白自己想做什么，以及想要如何表达自己。曾有某段时间，大家都认为我经常做不同的创新菜肴，但我还在摸索、演变。我的风格变化剧烈，这也不过是两年间的事。趣味依旧，但食材表现比过往更突出。

DISH CONCEPT

I really enjoy cooking with a tagine. It’s a wonderful way of putting all the ingredients inside and letting the cookware do its magic. This dish is a Moroccan-inspired tagine with a lot of spices and fruits cooking inside along with the sea bass. The steam circulates around until you lift the lid to release all the aromas. 我非常喜爱用塔吉锅煮食物，可以把所有食材统统丢进去，静待锅子施展魔法。这道菜受到摩洛哥塔吉锅的启发，加上许多香料和水果，跟海鲈鱼一起烹煮。水蒸气噗噗地冒出来，最后掀开锅盖释放所有的香气。 WINE PAIRING

Krug Rosé I thought straightaway about Krug Rosé because I’ve had this conversation many times with Olivier Krug. He loves sea bass and thinks it’s a great fish to go with Krug Rosé. It also pairs well with spice. So a dish that brings together the elements of sea bass, Moroccan spices, figs, and honey would go incredibly well with Krug Rosé. 我马上想到 Krug Rosé，因为我跟 Krug 酒庄的老板

Olivier Krug 讨论过许多回。他喜欢海鲈鱼，也认为这道菜配上 Krug Rosé 实在没话讲，搭香料也很合适。这样一道让海鲈鱼、摩洛哥香料、无花果和蜂蜜融合无间的菜肴，佐以 Krug Rosé 最恰当不过了。 MUSIC PAIRING

GUILLAUME GALLIOT

CAPRICE

How did you find your own voice and vision as a chef? After having lived fifteen years here in Asia, my palate has become virtually half-Asian. And the Asian touches you see in my dishes are a natural reflection of that influence. It is this cross-cultural experience that has helped establish my identity as a chef.

What’s the best meal you’ve ever eaten? For fish, I love Gérald Passedat’s restaurant Le Petit Nice in Marseilles. I was visiting Montpellier with my old boss and told him he really needed to try it. So we drove two hours there to have dinner. We stayed overnight and the next day drove an hour and a half to another restaurant. That was only OK, so I said, “Let’s go back to Gérald’s for lunch.” So we drove back, had lunch, and then returned to Montpellier. It was brilliant!

What’s the most surprising dish you’ve ever served your guests? The Alaskan snow crab salad with laksa foam that my team presented at the Michelin Guide gala dinner in Macau. We were enjoying laksa in the casino when I had the idea, “we should try to create something out of this gravy sauce.” Then we went back to the kitchen and tried it. It took us one month to finalize the dish. I like to share this dish with visiting chefs, and they tell me it’s one they remember.

I remember my first taste of Krug… It was in 2004 at Raffles Singapore. I remember it was very rich with a long-lasting finish. In food, I know I have a winning dish when the flavor continues even after eating a couple bites. I view wine and Champagne the same way. I remember thinking, “Wow, what’s that? Ahh, Krug.”

Are you a hunter, gatherer, or fisher? Some have said I have the patience and delicacy required of a fisher, but also a bit of the character of a hunter.

DISH CONCEPT

I wanted to bring together something I learned in Asia with something from my hometown of Tours. The tomatoes are from my mom’s garden. She sends me sixteen kilograms every week. The nodoguro was introduced to me about a year ago by a good friend who is a French chef working in Japan. It is a very rich, very delicate fish that works well with the saffron sauce and tomato concassées.

Do you enjoy fishing? I’ve gone fishing occasionally for fun. I once went out with some friends to fish near Catalina Island in California. I didn’t catch anything myself. But my friends did so it was worth it. Then we went home and shared it all for dinner.

你喜欢钓鱼吗？我偶尔会去钓鱼，纯粹是为了好玩。有次我跟几位朋友去加州靠近卡塔利娜岛一带钓鱼，我没有捕到鱼，但我的朋友渔获不少，总算不枉此行。然后我们回家，大伙儿把鱼煮了当晚餐。

How did you find your own voice and vision as a chef? Everyone has different inspirations and aspirations, and everyone finds fulfillment in their own way. I am moved by the quality of the ingredients. To treat them with love and passion is a demonstration of my voice and vision as a chef. That is also why I enjoy pairing my dishes with Krug Champagne. We have a shared respect for the individual ingredients that are crucial to any good recipe.

身为厨师，你如何发掘个人观点及愿景？每个人的灵感和野心都不一样，也会用自己的方式寻找成就感。我对食材的品质深深着迷，以爱和热情处理食材，是我作为厨师的观点和愿景。这也是我乐于让料理和 Krug 香槟配搭的原因，重点是我们都给予所有食材应有的尊重。

I open a bottle of Krug… For no special reason beyond the pleasure. I really appreciate the best, and to have a glass of Krug, at any time, at any moment, is really wonderful.

If you could take a one-year sabbatical, what would you do with your newfound time? I would travel to South America and the Himalayas and get closer to nature. I always dreamed of climbing K2, one of the most dangerous mountains to climb. You play with everything you’ve got, and that fascinates me. Of course that’s completely impossible for me, but maybe opening a restaurant is like climbing K2 – not many survive. This was the risk I touched personally. I could feel it in my stomach, but it’s good to challenge yourself.

Are you a hunter, gatherer, or fisher? I used to be a hunter, but with age and experience I have taken on more traits of a gatherer.

我打开一瓶 Krug 香槟 …… 无需特别理由，就为了享受饮酒的乐趣。在任何时刻，喝杯 Krug 香槟就是一大享受。

如果你有一年带薪休假，你会怎么运用这段多出来的时间？我想去南美洲和喜马拉雅山脉，亲近大自然。我的梦想是攀登乔戈里峰，那是世上最险峻难爬的山峰之一，到那时你得好好运用身上的每一样东西，这一点很有意思。当然对我来说根本是不可能，但也许开一间餐厅就像攀登乔戈里峰，没多少人能存活下来。我亲身经历过，那段过程很辛苦，但勇于挑战自己是好事。

你是猎人、采集者还是渔人？我过去是个猎人，但经验和年龄会带来改变，我想我现在是个采集者。

DISH CONCEPT

This dish has a very Mediterranean feel. The turbot is a big fish that we roast on the bones. I like intensity of flavor, so I pair it with a broccolini emulsion. I also add a citrus sauce with anchovies and capers to bring some acidity to balance the flavor, fattiness, and texture of the turbot. 这道菜深具地中海风情。野生比目鱼是相当大的鱼，我会连同鱼骨一起烤。我偏好浓郁口味，因此搭配花椰菜泥，再淋上一匙柑橘酱，加上鯷鱼和少许酸豆增添酸度，以平衡野生比目鱼的滋味、油脂和口感。

WINE PAIRING

Krug Grande Cuvée Krug Grande Cuvée is an easy, natural match with fish because of the sapidity and minerality of the Champagne. Its citrusy freshness and texture find balance with the richness of the turbot. 由于香槟本身的风味和矿物质，Krug Grande Cuvée 可烘托出鱼的鲜味，其柑橘般的清爽和质地与比目鱼的肥美恰恰形成平衡。

MUSIC PAIRING

“Nuvole Bianche” by Ludovico Einaudi Ludovico Einaudi is one of the most iconic contemporary pianists in Italy. This type of music, along with a glass of Krug, relaxes me. We’re always too rushed now, and we should take time to find pleasure like that. Ludovico Einaudi 是意大利当代首屈一指的钢琴家。这类音乐配上一杯 Krug 香槟，让我感到放松。现在的人总是匆匆忙忙，应该要花些时间寻找乐趣。

S U S H I M O R I TO M O A K I

Do you enjoy fishing?

你喜欢钓鱼吗？

I used to go to Kyushu every winter to fish. But it’s too easy to catch fish there. You put the line in the water and in only five minutes – oh! There’s no challenge.

我以前每年冬天都去九州钓鱼，那里要抓

Are there any “new” fish that you would like to introduce or reintroduce to guests?

有哪个新品种的鱼是你想介绍或再次推荐给客人的吗？

It’s not about finding new fish to serve but about finding new ways to serve what we have. I might think that this fish is always served with ginger and spring onions, so instead I can marinate it in vinegar. Or make a paste from the liver. Some of my customers think I always serve them new fish. No, it’s the same fish but prepared in a different way.

重点不在于发现新品种的鱼，而在于找到

How did you find your own voice and vision as a chef? Sushi is quite traditional. I like tradition, but sometimes I also want to do something different. Maybe because I’m half Japanese and half Chinese I can do some things to show my personality and style that Japanese chefs cannot.

I remember my first taste of Krug… It was in my sushi bar. A customer brought in a bottle. Of course I’d had other Champagnes, but Krug is the one I remember. Now my refrigerator only has Krug in it.

Are you a hunter, gatherer, or fisher? I must be a fisher. Everything I do is with fish, every day I’m handling fish. But I’m always going after the highest quality fish, so maybe I’m also a hunter.

鱼真的很容易，把钓鱼线放进水里，不出五分钟。噢！毫无挑战可言。

新的烹调或呈现方式。依我所见，这种鱼大多用姜和葱来调味，所以我改用醋腌，或利用肝脏制成鱼肝酱。有些客人以为我经常变换各种鱼货，但并没有，我只是用不同方式料理。

身为厨师，你如何发掘个人观点及愿景？寿司是传统美食。我喜欢传统，但有时会想做些变化。也许因为我是中、日混血，所以我可以展现出日本厨师所没有的个性和风格。

我记得我第一次品尝 Krug ...... 是在我的寿司店，某个顾客带来的。当然我也喝过其他香槟，但我只记得 Krug 的滋味。现在我的冰箱里只有 Krug 香槟。

你是猎人、采集者还是渔人？我一定是渔夫。我做的事全都跟鱼有关，每天都在处理鱼。但我向来只追求最高品质的鱼，所以大概也算是猎人吧。

DISH CONCEPT

In sashimi, tuna is the king of ingredients, and now we’re coming into Japan’s tuna season. I like to use elements of the whole fish to make my sushi. In this case, I make a bone marrow mousse. I also grill the bones and then add them, kombu, and dried bonito to the soy sauce. This piece is kama toro, the cheek, because it‘s less fatty and a better match with the light mousse.

WINE PAIRING

Krug Rosé The tuna and Krug Rosé are a beautiful match, because both the colors and the flavors complement each other. Also, they’re similar in concept. I make use of the whole fish, and by blending the skin-fermented pinot noir in the Krug Rosé, the winemaker makes use of the whole grape. 金枪鱼和 Krug Rosé 是非常雅致的搭配，两者的

非常合适。

The Planets, Op. 32, by Gustav Holst Krug Champagne is like a symphony, where the flavors and notes from individual wines blend together into a rich and complex harmony. I think sushi can also be like a symphony, where the meal may start light, strengthen in intensity, and come back down, like the different movements throughout a composition. And most important, you never clap your hands before it’s finished. Krug 香槟就像一首交响曲，各种葡萄酒的风味和香气相互融合，丰富又复杂。我认为寿司也一样，一开始时轻细柔和，慢慢变得强力奔放，再归于平静，犹如交响乐一般起落有致。最重要的是，你绝不会在用餐结束前鼓掌。

THE KRUG ROOM

Do you enjoy fishing? I used to fish quite a lot before I moved to Asia. I worked at a restaurant in Devon, right by the sea. After we finished the evening service, we’d get in the car and go down to the beach to fish. It was a nice way to unwind.

How did you find your own voice and vision as a chef? I’m still trying! It never stops, I don’t think it ever stops. I’ve been at the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, for six years now,

two as executive chef. The Krug Room is like a little restaurant within the heart of the hotel where Champagne leads and the food follows. It’s a playground for me to experiment, use foods that are in season, and create a whole experience.

What’s the most surprising dish you’ve served your guests? Last year, we did a mushroom dish for the Krug From Forest to Fork book on mushrooms. There were components that

PRESENTED BY KRUG

were fermented, roasted, salted, brined, and pickled. It was very well received because of all the different techniques going on. Another dish that really wowed our guests was created by our pastry chef, not by me. It was based on the old snow globes, with a sponge base, a polar-bear ice cream, a mini Christmas tree, tapioca-powder snow, and a sugar dome over the top. It was so visually stunning that the guests just looked at me and said, “Wow!”

I remember my first taste of Krug… My wife was out of town on my fortieth birthday, but she had arranged for my friend to bring over a bottle of Krug. I have a pure memory of its unique nutty flavor.

Are you a hunter, gatherer, or fisher? Maybe in my youth I was a hunter. I was out trying to find the next thing to catch. Now I’d say I’m probably a gatherer. It’s about having the family together and being solid. the faroe islands

John Dory poached in seaweed butter and paired with whole lemon purée, white asparagus purée, Ossetra caviar, and a thin ribbon of Granny Smith apple 海藻奶油炖鲂鱼配柠檬泥、白芦笋泥、鱼子酱及澳洲青苹果薄片

你喜欢钓鱼吗？我还没搬来亚洲时很常钓鱼。那时我在英国德文郡的一家餐厅工作，就在海边。晚餐服务结束后，我们就会开车去海边抓鱼，顺便放松一下。

身为厨师，你如何发掘个人观点及愿景？我还在找！就是不断地寻找，我认为没有停止的一天。我在香港的文华东方酒店待了六年，担任行政主厨两年。「库克厅」有点像是位于酒店心脏地带的小餐厅，主角是香槟，其次才是美食。对我来说，这是用以实验的游乐场，藉由搭配时令料理，打造整体餐饮体验。

在厨师生涯中，你最惊喜的出品是什么？去年，我们为 Krug 的《From Forest to Fork》特辑做了一道蘑菇料理，其中有发酵、烧烤、盐渍、盐卤和腌制等成分。因为用了各种不同的技巧，非常受欢迎。另一道着实让客人惊叹不已的菜肴不是我发明的，而是出自糕点师傅之手。主要是借用雪花玻璃仪的概念，包含底层的海绵、北极熊形状的冰淇淋、小小的圣诞树、木薯粉做的雪花，最上头是糖做的圆顶。简直是美不胜收，客人只是看着我说：「哇！」

我记得第一次喝 Krug 香槟，是 ...... 我四十岁生日那天，我太太出城去了，但她事先请朋友带一瓶 Krug 香槟给我。我还记得它独特的坚果香气。

你是猎人、采集者还是渔人？我年轻时大概是个猎人吧，总是出门寻找下一个猎物。如今我会说自己大概是采集者，重点是家人相聚，团结一致。

DISH CONCEPT

The idea was to express black and white and yin and yang in the dish. I’ve poached the John Dory in a seaweed butter to keep it as white as possible. And on the side, there is a huge dollop of black caviar. Then to add acidity, I’ve added a fermented white asparagus purée as well as a full-on, intense, whole-lemon purée. 这道菜的概念是要表达黑与白、阴与阳。我用海藻风味奶油烹煮鲂鱼使其呈现白色，于侧搭配一大块黑色鱼子酱。为了增加酸度，另加了发酵过的白芦笋泥和风味浓郁、内含整块柠檬的酱汁。 WINE PAIRING

Krug Grande Cuvée Krug Grande Cuvée and fish are very easily married together. I’ve cooked the John Dory in butter, which creates a nutty flavor that also comes through in the Krug Grande Cuvée. And similarly, Krug Grande Cuvée has undertones of lemon and citrus, which is echoed in the Amalfi lemon purée. Krug Grande Cuvée 和鱼可说是一拍即合。我用奶油烹煮鲂鱼，创造出如坚果般的香气，而陈年香槟也有一股坚果香。同样地，Krug Grande Cuvée 微带柠檬和柑橘味，恰与阿玛菲柠檬酱相呼应。 MUSIC PAIRING

“Human” by The Killers I’m thinking of our trip to Mallorca with the crashing waves. So the music’s got to be something upbeat, but with a bit of crash. 我想着那次去马略卡岛，看到岸边浪花飞溅。所以音乐也必须洋溢着乐观，又有些喧闹。 the faroe islands

Diners and dreamers fall in love with Dear Lilly.

INSPIRED BY CHARMING FLORAL STALLS along Parisian boulevards, Dear Lilly, the wonderfully whimsical restaurant and bar designed by Ashley Sutton, positively exudes romance. With every touch, from lavish floral motifs to ornate perfume bottles, it envelopes guests in a world of enchantment. The extravagant décor, though, is only part of its appeal. Equally enticing are an inventive selection of cocktails and a creative menu of beautifully presented dishes that speak to a sophisticated culinary approach. “I’m inspired,” says head chef Bhupendra Singh, “by the freshest and highest quality in-season ingredients, and I love to make them shine in healthy preparations. To me, it’s important that dishes taste at least as good as they look.” A perfect example is his ravishing and superbly balanced scallop carpaccio appetizer. The freshest Japanese scallops are paired with blood orange and dressed with a vibrant blend of orange and yuzu juices. The dish is finished with chopped coriander and a touch of chili and decorated with edible flowers. Sweet, sour, and spicy notes titillate the taste buds, with each ingredient clearly defined yet complementing all the others. Another visually arresting presentation with wow-factor taste is Singh’s seaweedand-sumac-roasted salmon. “To ensure ↖

perfect cooking and optimal retention of juices,” explains the chef, “we slow-roast Norwegian salmon that has been coated in a powder made from seaweed and sumac.” The richly flavorful fish, deep-seasoned by its coating, is paired with charred asparagus, green pea purée, pea tendrils, and tomato-and-olive tapenade. The harmonious result is both light and eminently satisfying. Sharing the stage are captivating cocktails that also reflect the restaurant’s magical ambience. One of the most popular is Mad Enchantment, served in a unique stemmed teacup. A sweet and refreshing ode to Dear Lilly’s elaborate embellishments, it features swizzled calvados and Lillet Rouge mixed with apple and lemon juices, vanilla, and blackberry purée foam. It is garnished imaginatively with an edible flower and a silver teaspoon holding a fresh berry. A new release is Triumph of the Sea, named for the 1964 color lithograph by Salvador Dalí. Served in a Medusa glass, the sweet-and-sour libation congenially combines vodka with yuzu and lemon juices and hints of almond and violet. It is topped with a dash of grapefruit bitters and a maraschino cherry and garnished with an orchid.

味游南意

southern italian tastes D I N I N G AT C A S A D O N A L F O N S O in Macau’s Grand Lisboa Hotel became a celebrity affair in early September. That’s when Don Alfonso Iaccarino, the famous head chef of the restaurant’s Michelin-starred namesake, paid a visit to Macau for the first time since Casa Don Alfonso’s transformation last November. “It has a much warmer feel to it now,” said Iaccarino, as he toured the dining room, affably greeting his guests. “The colors are more Mediterranean, and it feels like a private dining room rather than a restaurant. I really love it.” Casa Don Alfonso, which is named after renowned Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890 in the village of Sant’Agata near Sorrento, has gone beyond its finedining roots to create a more casual experience. “It’s a special place,” says Iaccarino, “somewhere between fine dining and a traditional trattoria. It’s the kind of place where you can come and eat every day, for a casual lunch or a more sophisticated dinner.” At the helm is recently appointed Chef de Cuisine Giovanni Galeota, who came directly from Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890. In his new role, Galeota works closely with Iaccarino in crafting original dishes and curating Casa Don Alfonso’s menus, including its recently launched list of seasonal

recommendations. “Most of my dishes have the imprint of Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890,” says Galeota of an establishment that has been family-run for four generations. “Without a doubt, Ernesto Iaccarino, Don Alfonso’s son, has had the greatest influence on the way I think and cook.” A standout on the new menu is panfried duck breast, a tradition at Don Alfonso 1890. “I have such beautiful memories of this dish,” says Galeota of the succulent breast marinated in cinnamon and star anise. “I was always fascinated by the colors, the flavors, and the aroma.” Another favorite is crispy amadai, accompanied by Galeota’s savory Mediterranean sauce. Other authentic selections include homemade black-ink taglioni with Hokkaido scallops and green asparagus and the chef’s roasted guinea fowl with wild mushrooms and seasonal vegetables. On the sweet side is mango soufflé with yogurt sorbet. “I wanted to make a dessert with exotic fruits, and mango seemed perfect,” says Galeota. “The acidity of the yogurt and the sweetness of the mango is a beautiful combination.” After years of working together, Galeota’s approach aligns closely with Iaccarino’s: “My culinary philosophy is always to work with organic products, and on this point, Don Alfonso and I agree. It’s the basis of our collaboration. We don’t use animal fats, we don’t use meats or fish from intensive farming. When I make a menu, I always try to respect the seasonality of the ingredients and to use authentic Mediterranean ones.” Adds Iaccarino, “Giovanni and I are from the same school of thought – I know the restaurant here is in safe hands. After twelve years of working together, the Grand Lisboa is part of my family. I couldn’t do it alone, I’m simply the conductor of this amazing orchestra.” Even after his many years as a chef, however, Don Alfonso has no plans to call it a day. “This is my theater,” he says. “The day I stop enjoying it, the curtain can come down. Until then, I stay in the kitchen.”

Knilling has brought it all to Vida Rica, where, under his direction, the menu has undergone a complete change and will continue, he promises, to see many more exciting additions. Three new offerings at Vida Rica especially stand out, dishes inspired by Knilling’s love of particular ingredients and seasonal favorites. His approach is all about creating culinary surprise and developing unique flavor profiles and textural combinations. Presentation, too, is important to him: “I’m quite picky. Sometimes I plate a dish ten times before I’m happy with it.” His Mediterranean-inspired starter of octopus terrine is made with tomato stock and octopus imported from Spain. “I was thinking about how to add new elements to the dish,” he says, “and I always like to play with different textures.” To complement the terrine’s tender consistency, the dish is accompanied by a baby-octopus-and-black-rice chip, saffron aioli, and basil sponge. Knilling’s toothfish and calamansi main course is served with

Matthias 以其特别喜爱的季节性食材为灵感，创作了三道众所瞩目的新菜式，主要是为了创造出美食惊喜，并开创风味及口感上的独特搭配。对主厨而言，摆盘也十分重要，他说：「我要求完美，有时摆了十次之后，才会满意。」章鱼冻是一道地中海式的开胃菜，结合番茄原汁及西班牙进口章鱼。主厨说：「我一直思索如何为这道开胃菜加入新风味，而我一向喜欢玩味不同的口感。」主厨为了提升冻派的绵密口感，另外搭配了墨鱼黑米片、藏红花蛋黄酱和罗勒松糕。

Matthias 的南极鳕鱼配柑橘，搭配了腌制青瓜、樱桃萝卜、幼葱、风干火腿脆片以及柑橘。主厨说明：「虽然南极鳕鱼不如鲭鱼或沙丁鱼味道明显，但因其带有脂肪分布，因此口感十分滑润多汁。」Matthias 用柑橘醋

marinated cucumber, red radish, chives, an ibérico chip, and calamansi. “Unlike mackerel or sardines,” he says, “toothfish itself doesn’t have much flavor, but because it’s a little bit fatty, it’s very juicy.” Creating this dish in summer, Knilling made an apropos addition of “fresh citrus notes” with a calamansi vinaigrette. The sauce is drizzled across the plate and the fish placed on top. Marinated cucumbers and red radish add crunch, and the ibérico chip balances the calamansi’s tartness. In Knilling’s dish of lamb and brussels sprouts, the inspiration was the vegetable rather than the meat. The idea was sparked when he recalled a popular item of sprouts with sriracha, honey, and bacon that the restaurant offered last year. “It was so tasty, I thought we’d have to do something else with them.” Knilling’s recipe includes French lamb loin from the rack, brussels-sprout purée and pan-fried leaves, sautéed mushrooms, and Madeira jus. The sprouts are first marinated with garlic and herb butter. “It’s very good for the winter season and will definitely be on our Christmas menu,” says the chef. Looking ahead is part of the chef’s philosophy of creating food from the diner’s perspective. “I always cook to intrigue and delight my guests,” he says. “Two weeks after your visit, I want the flavors of a dish to still be popping up in your mind.”

为这道夏季料理增添新鲜柑橘的香味，酱汁慢慢地淋于盘中，南极鳕鱼静置其上，腌制青瓜和樱桃萝卜增添爽脆的口感，风干火腿脆片则平衡了柑橘的酸味。

Matthias 创作的羊柳配抱子甘蓝，并非以肉为设计发想，而是从蔬菜得到灵感。去年餐厅供应一道人气餐点 ― 辣椒蜜酱及培根佐抱子甘蓝，而当他回想起那道菜的滋味之时便是他灵光乍现的一刻。他回忆：「那真是太美味了，当时就想我们必须利用那道餐点再创作出其他菜式。」Matthias 的料理食材包含法国羊柳、抱子甘蓝泥、炸菜叶及炒蘑菇、马德拉汁。抱子甘蓝需先以大蒜及香草奶油腌制。他称：「这道料理适合冬季品尝，将会放入圣诞节菜单上。」主厨从顾客的角度创作料理，「放眼未来」是他的烹饪理念。他说：「我热衷于激发客人的好奇心，创造愉悦的用餐体验，希望在享用过后的两周，料理的美味依然能使他们意犹未尽。」 the faroe islands

CLASSIC YET CONTEMPORARY Two richly traditional Chinese cuisines find exciting modern expression at MGM COTAI.

With Cantonese restaurant Chún and Sichuan restaurant Five Foot Road, MGM COTAI has brought to Macau the authentic flavors of two of China’s great regional cuisines. Through their alluring presentations, flawless service, and insistence on the finest-quality ingredients, both Chún and Five Foot Road have won recognition as exceptional dining experiences. The continuing acclaim has been largely because of the dedication of two remarkable chefs and of their culinary sensitivity to the evolving preferences and needs of today’s diners.

美狮美高梅酒店的粤菜餐厅「淳」和四川餐厅「蜀道」，为澳门新添两种纯正地方风味的中菜风韵。两间餐厅提供摆盘华美的餐点以及细腻贴心的服务，坚持引进最佳品质的食材，让客人可享受到无与伦比的用餐体验，广受各方赞赏。两位功力了得的总厨是两间餐厅之所以盛名不坠的功臣，他们敏锐体察到现今客人的用餐需求和口味变化。

TAM YIM CHAN, MGM COTAI ’s Executive Sous Chef of Chinese Restaurants, has been assiduous in delivering classic Cantonese cuisine at Chún while at the same time ensuring that his cooking style moves with the times. “Tradition is the soul of Cantonese cuisine,” he says, “but in this day and age, innovation also comes into play.” A case in point is Chún’s crispy-fried shredded king oyster mushrooms. Featuring delicately browned and piled slices, the dish was specifically created with modern wine pairing in mind. Clearly inspired by the fundamentals of Cantonese cooking, it is approached from the perspective of contemporary tastes. And with many of Chún’s guests coming from mainland China, Tam finds that “this dish is especially popular with northerners who want a touch of spice in their food.” Soup, of course, is another emblem of Cantonese cuisine. With Chún’s paramount concern always the premium

quality of its ingredients, the restaurant’s double-boiled soup with fish maw and sea whelk makes use of the freshest of products served to guests at their peak. “If we didn’t finish serving what we’ve prepared for lunch,” says the chef, “we would never serve it at dinner.” In the same way, only toptier ingredients sourced from a supplier in Hong Kong are used in another time-honored Cantonese classic: baked puff pastries filled with whole baby abalone and diced chicken. Tam is equally careful in his execution of culinary methods. His crispy-fried pork spare ribs with honey, pepper, and preserved Chinese black olives requires liberal use of garlic sauce in the marinating process. “But you mustn’t add too much garlic,” he warns, “because then it will burn very quickly. Everything takes a long time to put together, and I also add honey for extra taste and aroma. I wouldn’t even think of serving a dish until the flavors are absolutely perfect.”

CHEF AU YEUNG CHUNG KEI spends a lot of time thinking about his dishes. The greatest concern of Fook Lam Moon’s talented head chef is to bring guests the most exceptional dining experiences possible. “Before we even consider serving an ingredient to diners,” he says, “we have to be sure it’s of the very highest caliber.” Continuing its legacy of excellence, Galaxy Macau TM’s famed Cantonese restaurant, which was originally established in Hong Kong, now boasts a Michelin Plate. The chef and his team, forever in search of the most outstanding ingredients, are diligent in doing their homework. “We’ve come to know which products are at their peak during different times of the year,” he says, “and if an ingredient isn’t in season, we just don’t use it.” Between June and August, for example, the chef and his team insist on mushrooms from Yunnan. “We don’t necessarily go for the rarest products,” says Au Yeung, “but our bottom line is always to choose those that are of premium quality. This is what our guests consistently expect of us and what we always do our utmost to uphold – it’s simply our philosophy.”

For this savory starter, Yunnan king trumpet mushrooms are thinly sliced, dipped in housemade batter, and wok-fried in oil at about 65°C. Frying, says the chef, brings out a marvelous aroma in the dish and imparts the all-important crunch to the mushrooms. “Once they’re crispy and golden, we drain and add Fook Lam Moon’s own XO sauce and our special Japanese barbecue sauce.”

The inspiration behind this dish may be the growing trend toward healthy ingredients, but Fook Lam Moon carries it off with a touch of luxury. Egg whites are seasoned and fried until 70-percent done before select fish maw from Pakistan and fresh crabmeat and crab roe are added to the pan. The Chinese name of the dish, explains the chef, contains the word for coral, “because the ingredients are presented on the plate in different layers, much like a reef.”

DUDDELL’S THE MOST RECENT celebratory pairing of the best in Cantonese cuisine with Hennessy’s legendary range of Cognacs took place in the very elegant surroundings of Michelin-starred Duddell’s, situated in the heart of Hong Kong’s Central district. That’s where globally experienced Chef Jacky Wu Chin Kit wins raves for his gorgeous and innovative variations on classic Cantonese. “The

theme of this menu is harmony,” notes Wu. “Harmony between the ingredients, the flavors, the aromas, the colors, the plating – the perfect harmony between Hennessy Cognacs and the dishes.” While its dining rooms filled with contemporary art and its sophisticated bar program are justly renowned, there’s no doubt that Duddell’s food is the main draw, especially when matched with Hennessy’s finest. Across Wu’s menu, two dishes in particular stand out for their masterful execution. Steamed garoupa with hairy crab coral is as delightful to the eye as it is to the palate. The fish is artfully sliced and stuffed with carrots, mushrooms, celery, and Chinese ham, all imaginatively bound together with savory shrimp paste. A vibrant sauce made with green onion is the ideal foil for the rare delicacy of seasonal hairy crab coral from Jiangsu. “The mouthfeel and textural contrast are prominent,”

says Wu, “namely, the bite of the vegetables with the softer fish. We specifically chose scallion instead of soy sauce to pair with the Hennessy X.O. Scallion, with a milder taste than most onions, complements Hennessy X.O’s spicy notes.” Then there’s the chef’s sautéed Miyazaki A4 wagyu beef with chestnut, pumpkin, and fermented black soybeans. The world-class beef speaks for itself, and the peak-of-season pumpkin amplifies the sweet notes of chestnut. Undertones of black beans, garlic, and dried tangerine peel marry beautifully with the richness of Hennessy X.O. “There’s a simple modern take on presentation,” says Wu, “because I like everything clear on the plate, with the elements of the dish kept distinct. They’re harmonious with each other and with the Hennessy. X.O is intense and complex, and I like serving it on ice to bring out its powerful, refreshing, and aromatic qualities.”

DAVID HARTUNG (2)

非凡的年轻面点师傅再次缔造经典。

THE VERY TALENTED KEN THOMAS is head pastry chef of Hong Kong’s ÉPURE. Everything that leaves the kitchen of this leading contemporary French restaurant seems to demonstrate careful thought and fertile imagination. “Part of our philosophy is respect for each individual ingredient,” says Thomas. “And while we do focus on dishes that are steeped in French tradition, we bring in a number of modern elements. Of course, every single step must be well done.” It is this painstaking attention to detail combined with a refreshingly up-to-date approach that has won ÉPURE such widespread critical recognition, including a Michelin star. Two highly respected ingredients that play a leading role in many of ÉPURE’s desserts are cream and butter. They feature in a recent addition to the menu, an evolved iteration of an all-time French favorite, Rum Baba. And since using the best available dairy products makes all the difference, Thomas has chosen those from Candia, which are produced from French milk exclusively. For the all-important baba dough, the chef prefers Candia unsalted butter because of its delicate taste and color. “The butter from Candia,” notes Thomas, “has such distinctive richness and flavor, which are vital for this iconic dessert.” The other essential item is cream, and Thomas selects Candia Professional whipping cream for a number of reasons, including its freshness, purity, and ease of whipping. “It increases in volume so quickly,” he says, “and that makes my job a lot easier.” The fat globules in Candia’s heavy cream act to form barriers around tiny pockets of air, providing its well-known structure, stability, and billowy volume. “The success of this dessert depends largely on the Chantilly cream – it has to be light and smooth and rich enough to extend the deliciously silky mouthfeel.”

香港「ÉPURE」法式餐厅的饼房总厨 Ken Thomas 才华横溢。同样，这家顶级餐厅的厨房中呈献的每道餐点，都满载厨师们巧妙的心思和丰富的「尊重每一样食材是我们的经营理念之一。当我们制想像力。Ken 说道：作经典法式菜肴时，也会加入一些现代元素。当然，每个步骤都会尽善尽美。」诚然，这种注重细节的精神，以及不落人后的烹饪方式，让「ÉPURE」赢得了各方赞赏，包括一颗米其林星星。在「ÉPURE」的众多美味甜点之中，鲜奶油和黄油扮演了相当重要的角色。它们在最近才登场的新菜单中崭露头角－兰姆巴巴蛋糕 (Rum

Baba)。对这道法国人最爱的甜点，「ÉPURE」有焕然一新的诠释，使用世界顶级的乳制品更是其中关键。Ken 选择了仅使用法国鲜乳制造的

Candia Professional 稀奶油。为了让巴巴面团达到最佳颜色和口感，Ken 看中了 Candia 「Candia Professional 无盐黄油有独特的丰 Professional 无盐黄油。他说：富口感和香味，在制作这道招牌甜点时绝对不可或缺。」稀奶油则是另一项必备食材，Ken 选用了新鲜、香纯且容易打发的「这种鲜奶油的体积膨胀很快，可 Candia Professional 稀奶油。他解释：省下不少工夫。」Candia Professional 稀奶油中的脂肪球能在气泡外形成「这保护层，保持奶油结构完整、稳定性高，又有足够的体积。Ken 称：道甜点能成功要归功于香缇奶油，它必须清爽滑顺，却也要够绵密，才能带出丝绸一般的柔顺口感。」 the faroe islands

长久以来，奥地利以绿维特利纳（grüner velt-

liner）葡萄的原产地而闻名，但现今奥地利跻身于世界顶级美酒大国行列，所出产的葡萄酒种类越来越有特色，也更多元化。从国内日益蓬勃发展的葡萄酒产业，可探知当地的葡萄酒为何如此与众不同。首先，奥地利具有得天独厚的气候优势，虽然与法国的勃艮第（Burgundy）位于同一纬度上，但奥地利的大陆性气候特征较明显，夏季温度更高，冬季更寒冷。夏冬显著的温差便是奥地利能酿造出风味清新、芳香葡萄酒的关键，奥地利葡萄酒也以酒体饱满、高酸度闻名。奥地利的葡萄酒产区风景如诗如画，涵盖各种气候风土，全国葡萄园总面积约

46,000 公顷，从多瑙河两岸的瓦豪（Wachau）与其他传统产区，一路延伸到南部的施泰尔马克州（Steiermark）及东部的布尔根兰州（Burgenland）产区。奥地利的葡萄品种同样非常丰富多元。近年来，奥地利酿酒商致力开发传统品种的新潜力，除了绿维特利纳以外，白葡萄酒的品、津芳德种还有红维特利纳（roter veltliner）、红基夫娜（rotgipfler）、纽尔（zierfandler），红葡萄酒种类则包含茨威伯格（neuburger）、蓝弗朗克（blaufränkisch）、圣格（zweigelt），奥地利所出产的国际主要罗兰（St. Laurent）葡萄酒品种也相当知名，包含雷司令、长相思、霞多丽、白皮诺、黑皮诺、梅洛、赤露珠等等。奥地利的葡萄种植传统已延续两千多年，是当地文化极珍贵的一部分，而现今新一代的创新酿酒商结合传统酿造知识，以及现代酿酒学训练的实务经验，致力让奥地利的有机葡萄栽培水平领先全球。目前奥地利已有超过 13% 的葡萄园种植面积依照有机农法准则进行栽培，而且多数的葡萄仍是以人工摘取方式收成。奥地利的葡萄酒盛名日益远播，但相较他国同样高品质的葡萄酒，奥地利出口的产品则十分超值，而且多样的酒种适合搭配中国菜或其他亚洲菜等各式美味佳肴。全球越来越多爱酒人士发现，奥地利葡萄酒与美食堪称绝配，从维也纳炸肉排到日本寿司，奥地利佳酿都能让美味发挥得淋漓尽致。

AWMB / ARMIN FABER

LONG KNOWN primarily as home of the famed grüner veltliner grape, Austria has today emerged as an internationally recognized producer of increasingly interesting and diverse wines. The country’s evolving winegrowing sector points out several factors that help set Austria’s wines apart. For a start, the climate is highly favorable. Although Austria is at the same latitude as Burgundy, its conditions are more continental, with warmer summers and frostier winters. This wide temperature fluctuation is key to the fresh aromatic character of Austrian wines, which are also noted for good body and high acidity. The country’s picturesque winegrowing regions encompass a diversity of terroirs. More than forty-six thousand hectares are under cultivation, from the Wachau and other classic regions on either side of the Danube to Steiermark in the south and Burgenland in the east. Austria’s grapes are equally diverse. In recent years, old traditional varieties are finding new potential in the hands of the country’s current breed of serious winemakers. Besides grüner veltliner, these grapes include roter veltliner, zierfandler, rotgipfler, and neuburge among the whites and zweigelt, blaufränkisch, and St. Laurent among the reds. Austria is known as well for growing many of the major international varietals, from riesling, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, and weissburgunder (pinot blanc) to pinot noir, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon. For over two millennia, wine has been a treasured part of Austrian culture, and today, dynamic young winemakers are building on the store of traditional knowledge by augmenting it with experience gained in modern oenology training to make Austria a world leader in organic viticulture. More than 13 percent of its vineyards are already managed according to organic farming guidelines, and most grapes are still harvested by hand. Despite their growing reputation, Austria’s fine export wines continue to offer excellent value in comparison to others of similarly high quality. And their range provides intriguing and excellent matches for a variety of cuisines, including Chinese and other Asian food. Wine lovers around the world are discovering that Austrian wines make admirable accompaniments to everything from Viennese schnitzel to Japanese sushi.

One sweet example is his variation on tarta de Santiago, a rich Galician almond cake traditionally dusted with powdered sugar to form a cross. Instead, Joensen pairs it with a very Faroese rhubarb sauce and a marmalade of Nordic berries. 「Katrina Christiansen」餐厅主厨 Jóhan Joensen 呈现一系列美味料理，烹调灵感源自法罗烹饪传统和西班牙小菜饮食文化，其中经改良的圣地亚哥蛋糕就是 Jóhan 的一款代表性甜品。根据传统，这款源自西班牙加利西亚的杏仁蛋糕面上撒有十字架形状的糖粉，而 Jóhan 则匠心独运，
