PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Welcome to Tasting Kitchen. In this issue, Circle of Time, we share stories of a number of culinary and wine professionals at various points in their careers, following chefs and chefs de cave through arcs of inspiration, development, achievement, transition, and legacy. Our first is a tale of youth, in which Emmanuel Soulière, president of Disciples Escoffier in Macau, mentors a young chef preparing for his first competition. Lessons start with techniques for preparing a simple classic egg dish and progress on to discovering the means to express individual vision in an original creation. Our next story follows Executive Chef Tam Kwok Fung as he transitions into a challenging new role. Rather than resting on his Michelin-starred laurels, the chef is constantly looking out for new ingredients, new techniques, and new ways to surprise his guests. The Champagne house Dom Pérignon has sustained its success by revering traditions while having the courage to push boundaries. Its singular chef de cave, Richard Geoffroy, has been the spiritual soul of the brand for the past twenty-eight years. Now, in a turning point filled with joy as well as nostalgia, he is passing on the leadership of the historic house to his protégé, Vincent Chaperon. Joël Robuchon is recognized as the foremost culinary genius of his generation. During his lifetime, he was named Chef of the Century, and his collection of restaurants was awarded more Michelin stars than that of any other chef in history. In celebration of his ongoing legacy, a gala dinner tribute was held in Macau to explore and appreciate Robuchon’s passion for the best seasonal products, his technical perfection, and his inimitable finesse. This year, wherever you may be in the circle of life, we wish you the best of times ahead.

Gewächs（简称「GG」）是采用德国特定几

ated with a single grape variety as Germany is with riesling. The stereotypical portrait of a German riesling is one of floral delicacy, sweetness, and light. But the rise of the GG or Grosses Gewächs category, comprising the greatest dry wines made from specific, top-quality sites across Germany, is slowly shifting the picture in a bolder, sturdier direction. Of particular note are the new breed of nonaromatic or semiaromatic dry whites made from less widely celebrated grape varieties like silvaner and weissburgunder (pinot blanc). Forsaking the dainty charm of their riesling counterparts, these wines are a ribald, voluptuous crew – earthy, generous, and unabashed. Horst Sauer, of Bavaria’s Franken wine region, historically known for great silvaner, is the custodian of some of the greatest sites in the region, including the mainly southfacing Escherndorfer Lump. His exotically floral 2012 Silvaner Trocken Escherndorfer Am Lumpen Grosses Gewächs is heady on the entrance, anchored in oily almond and Asian pear on the mid-palate, and soft but clean in its leisurely conclusion.

COURTESY OF W TAIPEI (2)

W Taipei teams up with a designer and a recycler to create its new mooncake-and-glassware gift set. IN TAIWAN, Mid-Autumn Festival is that special time of year when family and friends gather to barbecue under the full moon and bakeries across the island ramp up production of mooncakes. Retailers too get in on the act, competing to come up with holiday gifts that will catch the fancy of shoppers. Earlier this year, W Taipei joined forces with Spring Pool Glass, a pioneering local glass recycler, and Pili Wu, an innovative Taiwanese designer, to create Wowmoon, a limitededition mooncake gift set that features highly distinctive glassware. “Our studio,” Wu explains, “has always used local stories as a beginning point and based our designs on the concept ‘form follows story.’ Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, is one of Taiwan’s most important traditions.” Launched in July, Wowmoon quickly sold out by late September. The tumblers’ scalloped walls mimic the form of mooncakes shaped in traditional hand-carved wooden molds. Embodying a socially conscious design ethos, the greencolored glassware is made from empty Champagne bottles sourced from W Taipei’s Woobar. The connection to the bar is purposeful: W Taipei is subtly encouraging buyers of the sets to bring a touch of Woobar’s inventive cocktail culture to their homes by feasting on mooncakes while imbibing home-mixed drinks instead of the traditional wine. “Whether or not people know that this is a recycled product,” says Wu,“I hope that the ideals of green living and recycling will no longer be just a slogan. The most important thing is that customers like the design and are willing to support the project.” The set brought accolades in the 2018 edition of Taiwan’s Golden Pin Design Award. And, according to Yvette Yi, assistant director of marketing communications, W Taipei is already looking forward to future collaborations: “One of our brand’s passion points is design. We’ve established really good relationships with Spring Pool and Pili, so it’s very likely we’ll be working with them again next year on other projects related to sustainability.”

在台湾，中秋节是每年亲朋好友在满月下相聚烤肉的特别时节，糕饼店的中秋月饼产量大增，连零售业者也来分食市场大饼，竞相推出能吸引消费者的中秋节礼品。上半年，台北 W 饭店与台湾玻璃回收先锋春池玻璃以及台湾新生代设计师吴孝儒携手合作，共同打造「Wowmoon 无限」限量月饼礼盒，内附别具风尚的玻璃杯。吴孝儒说：「我们的工作室一直以在地故事为初始，并以『形随故事』作为设计基调，而中秋节正是台湾最重要的传统之一。」七月推出的「Wowmoon 无限」很快便于九月底销售一空。其中，「Wowmoon 邀月玻璃杯」的杯身造型，是模仿传统手工雕刻的木制月饼模具，绿色的杯身由台北 W 饭店内「WOOBAR」的空香槟酒瓶再制而成，隐涵具有社会意识的设计理念。与「WOOBAR」合作是有巧思的，相对于传统的红酒，台北 W 饭店希望消费者能在家自制调酒搭配月饼，鼓励消费者将该饭店的调酒文化融入生活。吴孝儒表示：「无论消费者是否知道这是回收再生的玻璃杯，我都希望绿色生活和回收再利用的理念不再仅仅是个口号。关键还是消费者喜欢这款设计并愿意支持这个项目。」礼盒在 2018 年台湾金点设计奖中获得肯定。台北 W 饭店行销公关副总监易采葳表示，公司已在期待未来的合作。易采葳称：「设计是我们品牌的轴心之一。我们已与春池玻璃及设计师吴孝儒建立了良好的合作关系，因此我们明年很有机会再次合作进行有关永续发展的相关计划。」 circle of time

“THE CLIENT GAVE US PLENT Y OF FREEDOM to realize our ideas,” says Sun Tian-Wen, chief designer at Shanghai Hip-pop Architectural Decoration Design Co. In 2016, the company’s creative team jumped at the chance to take on a project that would stand out in China’s fiercely competitive culinary landscape: a complete remodel of Waka Haiku Setsugekka in Changchun. Although the owner was exceptionally supportive, the restaurant’s huge fourteen-hundred-square-meter space and contemporary dining style presented challenges. The team delved deep into the science of how colors influence human perception and studied how stage lighting is able to achieve

上海黑泡泡建筑装饰设计工程有限公司的总设计师孙天文说：「客户给了我们很高的自由度来实现我们的想法。」2016 年，公司的创意团队在长春适逢其会，操刀「雪月花日本料理餐厅」的改造工程，这正是团队在中国竞争激烈的餐饮界脱颖而出的契机。尽管料理店店主全力支持，但对团队来说，一千四百平方米的大面积及现代化的用餐风格却还是颇具挑战性。对此，设计团队研究了颜色对感官知觉的影响，以及灯光对打造令人惊艳的成品的作用。

dramatic compositions. Then, based on just four factors – paint, glass, flooring, and lighting – they set out to create a space that would not only wow diners visually but also heighten the dining experience. At the emotional level, the designers wanted to create a dreamy space influenced by the traditions of Japanese Zen. “We tried to use lighting to express Zen in a new way,” Sun explains, “full of poetry and romance and without any hint of bitterness. By choosing a minimalist design language and the least possible quantity of materials, we’ve created a new and powerful visual dynamic.” At the sensory level, the Shanghai team was looking for ways to

随后，基于四大元素，即油漆、玻璃、地板和灯光，团队联手打造了一个不仅为宾客带来视觉享受，同时也能大大提升用餐体验的空间。在情感层面，设计师想要创造一个饶富日本禅宗传统的异想空间。孙天文说明：「我们尝试通过灯光来诠释禅宗。这是一种新的方式，充满了诗意和浪漫，屏除艰涩之感。借助极简的设计及尽可能少的材料，我们创造了一种新颖而有力的视觉动态。」而在感官层面，设计团队亦寻找方法激发 circle of time

味蕾，如在许多日本料理中不可或缺的「鲜味」。如上文所言，团队曾钻研颜色和灯光效果如何影响感官知觉等方面。受研究内容启发，他们利用大片的背光玻璃板为餐厅增添一些视觉干扰。结果表明，在这样的环境下，宾客更能专注于用味觉细细品尝料理中的鲜味和甜味。设计团队将寿司吧装嵌了全黑的背景，让厨师成为餐厅开阔空间中的目光焦点。同时，酒吧以 2200K 暖橘地面光为主。孙天文表示：「暖色调能促进食欲，同时减缓四周墙面蓝光的冷冽感。」此外，孙天文解释：「灯光是这次工程的主角。所有的概念、造型和材料都是为灯光服务。这个概念是我们工作室的新尝试，也是这项工程中最有价值的部分。」事实上，凭借对灯光的创意使用手法以及对极简材料的掌控能力，设计团队在 2018 年获台湾金点设计奖评审的肯定，摘得人人称羡的金点设计奖标章。

stimulate the enjoyment of basic tastes like umami, that indispensable part of the flavor profile of so many Japanese dishes. Inspired by recent research into the ways in which color and lighting affect a diner’s taste perceptions, they filled the restaurant with visual noise by means of huge panels of backlit glass. The result was a marked gain in diners’ ability to identify both umami and sweet notes in their food. The team installed a stark black background behind the sushi bar to make the chef the center of attention in the restaurant’s vast space. The bar itself is made of orange glass lit from below with 2200K light. Its warm color, says Sun, increases a diner’s appetite and at the same time offsets the coolness of the brilliant blue light emanating from the surrounding walls. “Lighting plays the lead role in this project,” Sun explains, “and all the concepts, shapes, and materials are in its service. This emphasis was a new approach for our studio and the most rewarding part of the endeavor.” It was, in fact, the designers’ imaginative use of lighting, as well as their mastery of minimalist materials, that impressed the judges of the 2018 edition of Taiwan’s Golden Pin Design Award and won the studio a coveted Design Mark for the project.

大厨使命

a chef’s duty Mentoring young talent in Asia’s culinary world is the calling of an association of illustrious chefs.

DAVID HARTUNG

“WE’RE HERE TO POLISH YOUNG CHEFS and give them confidence,” says

Emmanuel Soulière, who is vice chairman of the Association of the Disciples Escoffier in Asia and president of its Macau chapter. “I think that it’s really our duty.” Soulière is one of the founding members of the Asian branch of Disciples Escoffier International, which brings together some twenty-five thousand chefs around the world. Founded in 1954 in Nice, France, it is named after legendary chef and restaurateur Auguste Escoffier, a pioneer of modern French cooking in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, Soulière is executive chef at The Parisian Macao, overseeing restaurants in the hotel group. A native of France, he worked in Israel and Spain before arriving in China about fifteen years ago. He was quick to see the opportunity for enhancing the regional food and beverage industry: “We felt we were missing an association where we could grow and share our knowledge.” Disciples Escoffier was petitioned, and its Asian offshoot was born. As part of his role, Soulière oversees Macau’s edition of the association’s annual Young Talent Trophy, a global culinary competition open to chefs under the age of twenty-five. The Macau winner goes on to compete in Hong Kong against participants from nine countries in Asia, and the winner of that round travels to France for the world finals. During the Macau competition, Soulière took an active part in the two-month preparation period assigned to the six contestants involved. The competition was in two phases, the first of which tasked the chefs with making and modernizing an egg dish found in Escoffier’s L’Aide-Mémoire culinaire . “It’s one of the bibles of French cooking,” says Soulière. “Each young chef had to practice classic techniques and also incorporate creative elements. They’d call me and show me their work, and I might say, ‘Your technique is not good enough here, you’re missing this and that.’ We’d sit down, try the dish, and then go back to work.” While the egg round served as more of a coaching session, the second phase was the crucial judging round in which the participants were required to prepare their own original recipes in just one hour. After getting to know the participants and mentoring them, Soulière admits he “didn’t want to be a judge.” The 2018 Macau winner, Yu Jie Tao of Grand Lapa Macau, credits Soulière as instrumental in his preparation for the race: “He’d say, ‘Prep the following ingredients for me, and I’ll show you how it’s done.’ Then we’d try it together.” Soulière is convinced that as Macau’s culinary scene grows, the competition will serve as the perfect forum for furthering the careers of up-and-coming young chefs. “Escoffier’s disciples are committed to sharing knowledge, and that can help make doors open very easily.” circle of time

名厨 Emmanuel Soulière 是埃科菲国际厨师协会的亚洲部副主席以及澳门区会长。他表示：「我们的任务是协助年轻厨师更上一层楼，增强他们的信心。这确实是我们的职责所在。」

Emmanuel 是埃科菲国际厨师协会的亚洲区创办人之一，该协会至今汇聚世界各地精英大厨，会员逾 25,000 人。1954 年，埃科菲国际厨师协会于法国尼斯成立，以传奇名厨奥古斯特 • 埃科菲（Auguste Escoffier，1846-1935）的名字命名，他是十九世纪末、二十世纪初的现代法国料理先锋。

Emmanuel 目前担任澳门巴黎人酒店的行政总厨，负责监管酒店的所有餐厅。Emmanuel 出生于法国，曾任职于以色列与西班牙，其后约于 2003 年来到中国，很快便发现带动当地餐饮业培训的机遇。他表示：「我们觉得这里缺乏一个能让我们成长并分享厨艺知识的平台。」随后，埃科菲国际厨师协会接获请求，而亚洲区分部也应运而生。

Emmanuel 也负责监管一年一度的澳门区埃科菲青年厨师大赛，这是为 25 岁以下的青年厨师所设的国际厨艺大赛，澳门区赛优胜者将前往香港与来自其他九个亚洲国家的厨艺新星一决胜负，胜出者将代表亚洲参加在法国举行的世界冠军赛。在澳门区埃科菲青年厨师大赛期间，

Emmanuel 受命协助六位参赛者在比赛前两个月的准备工作。比赛共分为两个阶段，第一阶段中，参赛者必须烹调出埃科菲著作《烹饪指南

(L'Aide-Mémoire culinaire)》中的现代法式蛋料理。「这本书可说是法式料理的圣经，每 Emmanuel 说：位青年厨师参赛者必须同时展现经典料理厨艺，并融入创意元素。他们会打电话来，向我展示作品，我可能会说：『你的技巧不够到位，忘了做这些或那些事』，然后我们会坐下来好好品尝他的料理，接着继续努力。」第一阶段的法式蛋料理赛其实更像是场训练赛，相较之下，第二阶段则是非常关键的评审阶段，参赛者需在一小时内烹调出一道个人原创料理。

Emmanuel 负责指导每位参赛青年。与他们更为熟识后，他表示：「还真不想当评审。」

再创粤菜殿堂

master of the palace One of the world’s most acclaimed Cantonese chefs opens a new chapter at Wing Lei Palace.

DAVID HARTUNG

as executive chef of Wynn Palace’s finedining restaurant Wing Lei Palace, Tam Kwok Fung has a fittingly grand setting. A lavish celebration of Chinese cultural traditions, the experience begins with a walk through a regal garden of thousands of exotic orchids, roses, and hydrangeas. Then the view opens up on the spectacular three-level dining room overlooking Performance Lake with its extraordinary fountain show. Splendor and luxury are at every turn. Embellishments of gold, fine porcelain, jade, jeweled lanterns, and opulent drapery make the room feel like a cross between an opera house and a royal residence. The pressure is on Tam to match the surroundings, but there’s no surer hand in a Cantonese kitchen than this master with a Michelin-starred background. “Our clients travel around the world and have great experience in fine dining and upscale restaurants,” he says, “so it’s not good enough to serve a textbook menu. They’re looking for something really special – a surprise.” Even with his decades of experience in top restaurants, Tam says that his key culinary mentor remains his mother: “I saw her cook every day, and we’d go to the countryside of Canton, her birthplace.” Today, he oversees a team of more than thirty that prepare classic Cantonese dishes enlivened by his imaginative innovations. The creative process starts with assiduous sourcing. “I still like to keep discovering, and even with the same brand of meat, I’ll chase them for a different cut or marbling. In imported seafood, I look for variety, but I also visit the local fish market every two days. It’s very nice to get fish that was on the boat just a few hours before.” He’s also open to new products: “We recently added a New Zealand Te Mana lamb rack to the menu. It’s some of the best meat in the world, but it’s

just not used that much in other Chinese restaurants. We cook it naturally in a lychee-wood oven for twenty minutes after marinating it in Chinese seasoning with cumin and five spices.” As his dishes stunningly demonstrate, presentation is also critical. “Everyone has a phone!” he laughs. “Everything that comes out of the kitchen has to be right.” His plating philosophy ensures that dishes are userfriendly for eating and that every element makes a contribution. “I still prefer to spend 80 percent of my energy on the cooking, not on what surrounds it. Decorative touches have to be in harmony with the entire dish – a few sprigs of coriander, for example, make sense with stir-fried garouper. Temperature is also very important in Cantonese cuisine, and we make sure that when we transfer a dish from the pass to the table, it’s still piping hot. At the end of the day, what counts is the caliber of the food.” His steamed lobster with twenty-year-old Shaoxing wine uses the finest Brittany blues. “We actually have several types on offer as clients occasionally like to make a switch, maybe Australian rock or local baby lobster. Silky egg-white custard cooked very gently is on the base of the plate and coriander is on top.” Vegetables fried rice with lychee roasted goose and seasonal black truffle is also a popular dish created by Chef Tam. “It’s a very traditional technique, but the seasoning is not too strong or spicy. We stir-fry shallots, garlic, and coriander root for the stuffing, with a mix of five spices and soy paste. It’s really important not to overpower the flavor of the meat, the famous Magang goose from Guangdong, which we cook over lychee wood.”

Chef Tam’s fish soup is traditional in the cuisine of Shunde, where his family is from. “We use freshwater codfish and garouper bones to make the broth, bean-curd flavor and turnip to get the sweetness. We cook it together with premium fish maw, wood fungus, and loofah, all finely julienned. Some customers ask for fish dishes when they make a booking, because they know the chef is from Shunde!” Nowhere is Chef Tam’s mastery more apparent than in Wing Lei Palace’s elegant array of dim sum offerings. The visual effect of his beautifully crafted baked black pepper roast goose puffs, for example, is matched by their rich flavor complexity. Always open to trying new things, Tam has introduced a number of enhancements to Wing Lei Palace: “We’ve just launched a tea trolley with a sommelier to provide a pairing service and also a candy trolley with Chinese favorites like sesame lollipops, macarons, jasmine, lychee, and Chinese berries. The guests love it.” For the chef’s pièce de ré sist ance, sumptuous suckling pig with caviar, the team stuffs the skin with minced shrimp and covers it with sesame seeds before deep-frying the pig until crispy and topping it with black pearls of caviar. “We use a variety of caviar from Iran.

极品烧鹅饭亦是谭总厨一道相当受欢迎的菜式。谭总厨说：「虽然我们用的是非常传统的料理技术，但调味必须适中，不可过于浓烈或者辛辣。烧鹅时所用到的填料以青葱、大蒜、香菜根、五香粉和酱油膏炒制而成。最后用荔枝木熏烤，让此著名的广东马冈鹅鲜味充分展现。」谭总厨的花胶鱼蓉羹是来自故乡 ― 顺德的怀旧料理，他说：「我们先以淡水鳕鱼和石斑鱼鱼骨熬制汤底，并以豆腐和白萝卜带出甜味，最后再与切丝的上等花胶、木耳、丝瓜一同炖煮。有些顾客在订座时就会指名要鱼类料理，因为他们知道厨师来自顺德！」「永利宫」的一系列精致点心亦能突显出谭总厨的功架。例如美仑美奂的黑椒烧鹅酥，各种香味交织，味道层次丰富，与外型相比绝不逊色。谭总厨总是乐于尝试新事物，为「永利宫」推陈出新，他表示：「我们近期推出茶车，由茶师提供茶品配搭的服务。此外，还有糖果车，提供中国人喜爱的芝麻糖，马卡龙、茉莉、荔枝和中式莓果，都深受客人的喜爱。」黑鱼子百花乳猪件是谭总厨的代表作。厨师团队先以碎虾肉填入猪皮，并以芝麻粒覆盖，油炸至酥脆后，再以如黑珍珠般的鱼子酱装缀其上。谭总厨说：「我们使用来自伊朗的各式鱼子酱，许多客人甚至一些知名主厨从未尝过类似的菜品，所以他们为此感到很高兴。启发及引导客人也是我工作的一部分。我喜欢走出厨房与客人交谈，让客人知道谁是当家主厨，这是成功经营一家好餐厅的方式。」 circle of time

Vincent Chaperon, Richard Geoffroy

MARK HAMMONS (2)

TK talks with Richard Geoffroy, Dom Pérignon’s chef de cave for the past twenty-eight years, and Vincent Chaperon, the protégé to whom he will soon be passing the torch.

ON JANUARY 1, Vincent Chaperon becomes chef de cave of Dom Pérignon. “I feel a sense of serenity,” says Richard Geoffroy about relinquishing his title. “There’s a lightness – almost a joy.” The warmth between the men has something familial about it. “Richard is a mentor, not a teacher,” explains Chaperon. “I love our relationship. He’s helped me to grow, and in life you need that, because it’s never easy.” Geoffroy sees the role of chef de cave as part oenologist, part custodian of tradition, and part daredevil. He views the blending of grapes from different vineyards as a balancing act between art and science, and he’s noted for his bold approach in waiting – at the mercy of the weather – for grapes to reach full maturity before harvest to attain the deepest expression of their flavor. “Sometimes it’s about risk,” he says. “Risk means you may fail – if there’s no possibility of that, it wasn’t a risk at all. Taking risks is essential and brings so much soul to the brand.” Chaperon has taken part in thirteen harvests for Dom Pérignon since he began working alongside Geoffroy in 2005, and together they have declared four vintages: 2005, 2006, 2009, and, most recently, 2008. Vintages are declared only when the chef de cave decides an individual wine is ready, and not always in chronological order. According to Geoffroy, the fact that vintage Champagne sets its own pace is just another unpredictable facet of the job. “Technical understanding of winemaking is very important, but it’s more of a foundational platform. It’s humanity that can help you master your craft and elevate creativity. Humility is essential too, but,” he says with a laugh, “I shouldn’t claim that I’m humble – it sounds arrogant!” A sapient blend of scientist and philosopher, Geoffroy remains focused on the concept of harmony, not only between the varied grapes in a glass of Dom Pérignon, but also between vineyard and wine lover: “There’s a human sense of beauty that we share, a harmony embodied in different ways in different cultures but with a feeling that is the same.” Geoffroy has traveled widely in his role of

明年一月一日，Vincent Chaperon 将接任当上 Dom Pérignon 酒庄的首席酿酒师。「我 Richard Geoffroy 提到他卸下头衔的感受：心中非常平静，有一种放下重担，甚至可以说是『喜悦』的感觉。」而两人之间的温情，「Richard 几乎快升华成为亲情。Vincent 表示：对我来说不是老师，而是人生导师。我非常庆幸有他这个朋友，他的提点让我获益良多，能遇到如此提拔自己的人，可谓可遇不可求。」

Richard 将这个职位，看作是酿酒师、传统的守护者和胆大狂人的集合体。他也把将不同葡萄园的葡萄混和的过程，看作是艺术与科学的巧妙平衡。他之所以声名远扬，是因为他勇于承受天气的考验，坚持等到葡萄完全熟成，以使果实呈现臻于完美的风味。他说：「有时候就是得深入虎穴，有风险就有成败，如果保证万无一失，那就称不上冒险了。有点风险是必要的，也能让我们的产品更有灵魂。」

Vincent 从 2005 年起在 Richard 身边工作，已经参与过十三次 Dom Pérignon 酒庄的采收时期，也一起发表过四款葡萄酒，分别是 2005 年、2006 年、2009 年及最近的 2008 年。葡萄酒的发表，全依靠首席酿酒师 circle of time

Vincent 和 Richard 一样，都非常热爱文学、诗歌和社会科学，两人都喜爱广交好友。他说：「我喜欢认识新朋友。我是个有好奇心的人，爱从人们身上学习新事物，每一刻都是挖掘新知识和获得启发的机会。」两位首席酿酒师一致认为，le goût，法文的「风味」，不论是从酒品质地或是美学角度来看，都「风味就是必须铭记于心的重要概念。Vincent 说：是核心价值，是一种文化与感官的平衡。在法国与欧洲文化中，我们经常探讨风味。它是一种梦、一种想像，也是一种人与人之间共通的审美观。Dom

Pérignon 积极拥抱并发扬这种观念。」Richard 赞同地说：「我喜欢那种『发扬』的概念。有些人或有些计划诉求内敛自省，而在这里，我们讲求『扩张』。」每批葡萄酿造中所运用的科学技术，是他们坚持的哲学与美学思维背后最强力的后盾。Richard 说：「我们工作的地方有个实验室，这是个从未公开的秘密，其实我们每年持续试验上千瓶葡萄酒。」「Dom Pérignon 每年为达到高品质、 Vincent 补充：追求卓越并维持产品一致性，试验是很重要的一环。」「几年前，至于继承人的挑选，Richard 说道：我心里开始出现一种声音，告诉我该为自己的人生旅程和崭新的冒险与探索好好计划。卸任是一个漫长的过程，必须深思熟虑才能找出合适的人选。很久以前我就注意到 Vincent，他能在人性和技术的取决中找到绝佳平衡。Vincent 已经与我共同奋斗了很长时日，他洞悉了 Dom Pérignon 未来的展望和一路走来的精髓及灵魂，因此我非常放心。显然，他将会走出一条自己的路。」

exploring ways to bring Dom Pérignon’s wines to a broader global audience. He has paired Champagnes creatively with Japanese food and visited South America to seek out the mysteries of molé, the complex sauce thought to have originated three thousand years ago. “Everything seems black in South America,” he says, “the soil, the color of mole. Its smoky, earthy flavors are dark too, and they pair wonderfully with Dom Pérignon 2003.” Chaperon, who shares with Geoffroy a keen interest in literature, poetry, and social science, takes a similarly wide-ranging approach. “I like meeting people,” he says. “I’m curious and learn things from the people I meet. Every moment is an opportunity to explore and be inspired.” As chefs de cave, both believe that le goût , taste, is an essential concept to keep in mind, in both its physical and aesthetic senses. “Taste is central,” says Chaperon. “It’s the balance between culture and sensuality. We talk a lot about taste in French and European culture. It’s about dreams, imagination, and sharing with people – an aesthetic value linked to relationships. The Dom Pérignon brand has the generosity to embrace and expand this discussion.” Geoffroy concurs: “I love that idea of ‘expansion.’ Some people and some projects can be quite introspective, but here it’s about expansion.” Their philosophic and aesthetic flights are backed up by scientific abilities they put to use in making innovations from one harvest to the next. “There’s a laboratory where we work,” says Geoffroy. “It’s a secret that I never talk about, but we’re continually experimenting with thousands of bottles every year.” Adds Chaperon, “At Dom Pérignon, to reach such a level of quality, to excel and maintain consistency every year, you must experiment.” Regarding his plans for a successor, Geoffroy remarks, “Years back, I had the feeling that I needed to start thinking about my personal journey, my need to venture and explore new territories. Handing things over is a long-term process, and you have to think highly of the person you appoint. Very early on I started thinking about Vincent – he has the perfect balance of humanity and technical ability. It’s very reassuring, because Vincent has been working with me for so long and he knows the vision and the path of Dom Pérignon in essence and spirit. Clearly, he’ll make his own way.”

1996 年，Joël Robuchon 卸下长达三十六年专业厨师的身份，此举惊动了整个餐饮界。万众瞩目的 Robuchon 早已享誉国际，皆因他在巴黎的第一家餐厅「Jamin」创下最快摘下米其林三星的纪录，个人也获得无数的国际盛赞，还被《高德米鲁》美食评鉴封为「世纪厨师」。他曾表明：「为了追求完美的品质与服务，我想在事业巅峰时期就引退。」

Robuchon 不仅经营餐厅，也通过作为法国烹饪节目的主持及担任厨师顾问，传授专业知识。同时，他利用闲暇走访世界各地，藉由接触新兴想法与潮流来开拓眼界及解放思维。七年中，Robuchon 不断向前迈进，不走回头路，致力发起一场餐饮革命。

Robuchon 的灵感来自于西班牙小菜及日本寿司吧台的欢愉氛围，将不起眼的薯泥升华为精致美食，让宾客为之惊艳。如今，他正尝试重新诠释「精致餐饮」。2003 年，他在东京首开。餐厅「L’ATELIER de Joël Robuchon」两周后，他便在巴黎为「精致休闲餐饮」打响了时尚的名号。白色的桌布早已过时，就连餐桌本身也是，取而代之的是面向开放式厨房的长吧台。着装要求精简为正式休闲装，餐厅也尽可能地采用无预约制。客人可以选择单一价格的套餐组合或单点前菜、主菜及下酒小菜，而非繁复的组合菜单。

Robuchon 坚守自身的料理哲学，并揉进了每道餐点。同时，他尤其重视上盛的食材，将烹饪技巧化繁为简，只利用细腻的手法来突显食材本身。Robuchon 信赖的左右手 Eric 「他指导我们，餐 Bouchenoire 说道：盘子上最多只可呈现三种风味，因为当食材够新鲜，就足以相得益彰。」

DAVID HARTUNG

JOËL ROBUCHON shocked the gastronomic realm in 1996 by retiring at the height of a thirty-six-year career as a professional chef. He had long grown accustomed to garnering plaudits and had already sealed his global reputation. After all, hadn’t he made history with the quickestever accumulation of three Michelin stars, for his first Paris restaurant, Jamin, and hadn’t he received countless international accolades, including the title Chef of the Century from Gault & Millau? “I want to step down while still at my peak to pursue perfect taste and service,” he famously declared. Unfettered by the grind of running a restaurant, Robuchon continued to pass on his expertise in the role of consulting chef and by hosting French cooking shows. And in his newfound free time, he traveled the world, opening mind and heart to new ideas and influences. Within seven years, Robuchon was reenergized and raring to go – not, however, back to the fold but onward to spark a revolution. Freshly inspired by the conviviality of Spanish tapas bars and Japanese sushi counters, the chef, who had thrilled his guests by elevating humble mashed potatoes to a sublime dish of haute cuisine, now sought to reinvent the concept of fine dining. With the 2003 launch of L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, first in Tokyo and then two weeks later in Paris, Robuchon sounded the modern call for fine-casual dining. Gone were the starched white tablecloths. Gone too, in fact, were the tables themselves, replaced by long counters facing an open kitchen. Dress codes were eased to smart casual, and walk-ins were accommodated whenever possible. Instead of a long degustation menu, guests could choose from a short prix fixe set menu or from a list of à la carte starters and mains and small tapas-style tasting dishes. Robuchon’s unshakable culinary philosophy, expressed on every plate, remained the same. Above all, it called for a reverential respect for exceptional products. But he simplified his cooking by highlighting ingredients with refined techniques and without fussiness. “He taught us,” explains Eric Bouchenoire, Robuchon’s trusted second-in-command, “that there can be at most three flavors on a plate. When the products are fresh enough, they are self-sufficient.” Ever the visionary, Robuchon was first to champion the cause of fine-casual dining. With L’Atelier, he succeeded brilliantly in offering guests outstanding food in more relaxed surroundings and at more accessible prices. The rest is a matter of record: venues opened in city

At its peak in 2016, Robuchon’s empire stretched across three continents and his restaurants amassed a record-breaking thirty-two Michelin stars – proof positive that his revolution had won the day. Robuchon had kindled a different kind of fine-dining revolution in 2001 when he was invited by Hotel Lisboa’s management team to open Robuchon a Galera.

“The only mission I give myself is to perpetuate his vision and philosophy in the restaurants. His legacy will continue with the team, “la grande famille” and me. 我唯一的使命是在餐厅中继续实现他的愿景及理念，而他的遗志也将与我和团队长存。 ” ERIC BOUCHENOIRE

Danzaki (chef conseil ), and François Benot (chef p âtissier conseil ) joined with Robuchon au Dôme Executive Chef Julien Tongourian to present a gala dinner tribute to the master’s lasting legacy in Macau and across the wider world of fine dining. The eight-course menu was carefully curated to lead guests on an exploration of the master’s endless finesse, with classics that highlight his insistence on high-quality seasonal products and iconic dishes that demonstrate his technical demands and relentless perfectionism. Coming full circle, two of the dishes that were featured at the celebration of Robuchon a Galera’s opening, Le Caviar de Sologne and La Langoustine, were selected to star in Robuchon au Dôme’s gala dinner tribute, “The Heritage of Joël Robuchon.” “Mr. Robuchon’s favorite was his Le Caviar de Sologne,” says Bouchenoire. “It’s also mine, because it was the first dish I executed as garde-manger (pantry chef) at Jamin. At the time, every house was protective of their secrets, and this dish remained technically inaccessible to other chefs of my generation – ‘How,’ they wondered, ‘do you do the dots ?’ That’s why for me it remains a mythical dish.” One Robuchon classic that had to wait for October’s gala dinner to make its debut in Macau was La Poularde de Bresse, a wondrous dish in which a French freerange chicken is poached in an aromatic broth while fully enclosed in a ballooned pig’s bladder. “Mr. Robuchon had always wished to serve la poularde de Bresse en vessie ,” says Bouchenoire, “but we had difficulty importing the bladder. Julien Tongourian was able to find a source, and that finally allowed us to put it on the menu. Mr. Robuchon would be proud. “He, of course, is irreplaceable, but his cooking is immortal. My only mission is to perpetuate his vision and philosophy in the restaurants. His legacy will continue with the team – la grande famille – and with me. My last words to him were ‘reposez en paix, on est là ’ – ‘rest in peace, we are here.’”

What’s the concept behind your dish? Traditionally, it’s made with abalone sauce, but I’m using a fish soup base instead to create something new. Aside from the sweetness and freshness, there’s also a tiny bit of bitterness after the fish is cooked. That and the dried mandarin peel gives it a unique flavor that is perfect in combination with the fish.

料理背后的理念是什么？传统会以鲍汁烹调，但我使用鱼汤作为基底，为料理带来新风味。鱼在煮熟后除了甜度和鲜度外，其实还有些许苦味，但陈皮的香气能与鱼肉完美结合，更添风味。

What’s the most difficult part to get right? The freshness of the fish. Because it’s wild caught, we can’t stock up on it beforehand. It has to be caught in the days leading up to the dinner, and of course we need a large amount.

料理最具挑战的部分是什么？鱼的新鲜度。由于是野生捕捞，所以不能预先囤货，必须当天捕捞、当晚料理，所以我们需要大量的鱼

Does the dish relate to an important “metamorphosis” in your career? I worked for many years under the guidance of Chef Tam Kwok Fung and have recently taken over from him. It’s the biggest turning point in my career, and a real metamorphosis in reaching what is now the pinnacle. This dish, which takes an ordinary ingredient and changes it into something more, reflects that change.

A steamed fish dish is perhaps most emblematic of Cantonese cuisine – it’s food that’s shared on the family table.

在粤菜中，蒸鱼可说是最具代表性的一道料理，是家家户户餐桌上的共享佳肴。

How is it prepared? Lotus leaf is placed at the bottom of the bamboo steamer, and two fish fillets are laid on top of it on a bed of vermicelli. The black bean sauce is drizzled over the fish, and it’s steamed for five minutes. Finally, spring onions and red chili slices are sprinkled on top.

如何制作这道料理？将荷叶放在蒸笼的底部，铺上粉丝并将两片鱼柳放置其上，淋上豆豉酱后蒸五分钟，最后再撒上青葱和红椒丝。

What’s the most difficult part to get right? Time management is always an art in steaming the fish – half a minute more or less can make a big difference. We want it to be silky, tender, and delicate. The sauce is a classic combination of black bean and Chinese mandarin, but the magic is getting the proportions of soy sauce and other ingredients right.

Locally sourced shallots and scallions, Hua Diao wine, and a special soy sauce are added, and the wok is covered to let the lobster absorb the flavors. Hennessy X.O has a deep complexity of pepper and ripe fruit that matches the multilayered flavors of the lobster, and it perfectly offsets the richness of the dish. “Our top-quality Australian M9 beef is intensely flavorful and

IN THE ELEGANT SURROUNDINGS

of Yee Tung Heen at The Excelsior, Hong Kong, Chef de Cuisine Yiu Bik Sun reminisces about his long career. As one of the recognized masters of a Cantonese cuisine that celebrates the seasons, he has continued to garner skills and acclaim throughout a culinary journey that has taken him from Shanghai to Beijing and Singapore. Among many highlights, one stands out. In London in 2015, he had the honor to cook for President Xi Jinping of China. “There was no Chinese chef then at Mandarin Oriental, London,” says Yiu, “so I and two colleagues were responsible for serving the president and his delegation. It was a unique experience, and I got to know exactly what they like to eat.” His concern with pleasing guests also characterizes Yiu’s menu pairing at Yee Tung Heen, where he thoughtfully considers the arc of the menu and how each dish can best celebrate seasonal produce and pair with the multifaceted character of Hennessy X.O. “The flavors of the dishes start softly and grow in intensity throughout the menu’s progression.” A good starting point is his steamed garoupa fillet with matsutake mushrooms and wild brown fungus, both in season from October to December. “Our produce must be of the highest quality to retain the unique aromas of these special ingredients that are only briefly available. First we prepare a broth by steaming the matsutakes. The autumnal aromas of the mushrooms suffuse the palate and integrate with those of Hennessy X.O. Its luxurious mellowness never overpowers the delicate fish, and the wonderful

在香港怡东酒店环境优雅的「怡东轩」，粤菜大师、总厨饶璧臣师傅，娓娓道出他的厨师生涯。从上海、北京再到新加坡，他的厨艺越发炉火纯青并屡获各界好评。如此辉煌的历程中，有一段时日与众不同。2015 年，饶师傅有幸在伦敦为中国国家主席习近平烹调美食。他回想道：「当时伦敦文华东方酒店没有中国厨师，于是我与两位同事便负责为国家主席及其代表团打理餐点。那真是非常独特难忘的经验，而且我还能知道他们的喜好。」让顾客吃得开心是饶师傅的目标，因此「怡东轩」的菜单充满巧思，菜单整体编排，以及由时令食材制成的餐点与轩尼诗 X.O 的搭配，都由他细心打点。他表示：「口味的层次随着菜式的顺序推进而加强，先柔后重。」从松茸野生云耳蒸星斑件开始是个不错的选择，因为松茸和云耳 circle of time

spiciness of Hennessy X.O makes a powerful impression when paired with seasonal seafood.” One of the chef’s most celebrated creations is traditional braised pork in braised pears with abalone and dried octopus, which won Gold with Distinction in 2016 in the Best of the Best Culinary Awards. “We braise the pork and abalone and use that sauce for simmering the pears and infusing them with flavor,” explains Yiu. “The octopus also gains flavor from the pork fat. The very juicy pears help keep you hydrated and refreshed through our dry autumn and winter months. Diners first taste the pork, then the pear, then the South African abalone. The robust flavor profile of Hennessy X.O is great with the dish, and it has such wonderful balance. Its natural fruity notes harmonize beautifully with the pear, and the pork’s richness and aromatic sauce help to reveal X.O’s character.”

Finally comes braised whole abalone with rock rice and mushrooms. “Rock rice is the king of rice. It grows in crevices in the pure air of the Himalayas – it’s impossible to grow it anywhere else. We use seasonal mushrooms from Japan and Yunnan, prepare a sauce with the abalone, and cook the rice in it. The flavors elevate the silky elegance of Hennessy X.O and allow its spicy notes to shine through.” Hennessy X.O’s exceptionally balanced profile also makes it a favorite when Chef Yiu is relaxing at home. “When friends come over, we like it on the rocks, and sometimes I’ll cook a special dish to go with it. Hennessy X.O has such a legendary history, such a glowing reputation among connoisseurs. What I’ve recently noticed is that more and more younger diners in their twenties and thirties are discovering why.”

道菜创造出和谐的配搭，干邑的天然果香与水梨合而为一，美妙不可言状。」「岩米是最后是珍菌岩米烩 8 头汤鲍。他表示：米中之王，只生长在纯净无污染的喜马拉雅山岩缝中，在其他地方都无法生存。时令鲜美的日本及云南菇类加上鲍鱼一同熬制酱汁，接着将米加入酱汁中炖煮。浓醇香气扑鼻而来，配上一口轩尼诗 X.O，口感圆润平衡，果香与胡椒香气于口中散发。」轩尼诗 X.O 优雅的味觉平衡，亦成为饶师傅在家放松时享用的首选。他说：「朋友到访时，我们会加点冰块一起喝，有时也会做几道菜配酒。轩尼诗 X.O 拥有传奇的悠久历史，在爱酒人士心中更是地位崇高。最近我也观察到，许多二十到三十出头的年轻顾客，也渐渐了解到这瓶干邑的独到之处。」 circle of time

Sometimes described as the Jamie Oliver of Portugal, Sá Pessoa reached celebrity-chef status through his string of successful TV cooking shows and cookbooks. “The shows were kind of an accident,” he says. “When I came home in 2004, every cooking show I saw was very traditional and outdated. I thought if I could share what I know – my ideas and things I’d learned – it could be something different.” Unlike a lot of chefs, Sá Pessoa didn’t grow up watching his parents or grandparents cook. “I wanted to be an NBA player!” he says. “It was my dream as a kid, but obviously, with my height, it was never going to happen.” He began cooking at age sixteen, purely out of necessity. “My parents were divorced and often at work, so I had to learn to make my own dinner,” he says. “My hobby turned into an interest, which turned into serious consideration that maybe I could make a career out of it.” The first dish he mastered, spaghetti bolognaise, was soon legendary among his family and friends. “I became the designated cook.” Sá Pessoa describes his cuisine as contemporary Portuguese with subtle international hints inspired by his years of working in Australia, Asia, and the UK. “I like to incorporate ginger, lemongrass, and chili,” he says. “I don’t think my cooking is fusion, but I’m always including different ingredients. I’m not rigid about it, but if I see something I like, I’ll put it in as long as it makes sense to me.” Watching guests’ reactions as they experience his food brings immense pleasure and gratification to Sá Pessoa. “We have the power to create an impact ,” he says. “We’re not gods, or magicians, or artists – although there’s something of these elements in our profession. I just see myself as a cook. But we

我得学会煮自己的晚餐。后来烹饪成为了兴趣，我甚至认真考虑是否能以此为业。」他大功初成的第一道菜－肉酱意大利面－家人朋友尝过之后无不赞不绝口。「自此之后，我是大家的指定厨师。」

Henrique 形容自己的料理风格是当代葡式加上一点异国风味，这与他曾辗转澳洲、亚洲及英国历练的经验有关。「姜、柠檬草及辣椒都是我喜欢运用的材料，我不特别觉得自己走的是融合风，只是喜欢加入不同的食材。一切都是可以变通的，碰到喜欢的东西，可行的话我都会试着入菜。」看到客人吃完菜露出惊艳的神情，每每让他感到莫大的喜悦及满足。他形容：「我们有『撼动』人心的力量。我们不是神、魔术师或艺术家，虽然说做菜也多少有些类似的元素。我就是个平凡的厨师，但我们的确有能力，也是我们最终追求的目标所在－为客人创造属于他们的专属时刻，带来独一无二的体验。」他目前无法时刻待在澳门，但餐厅另有高人打理，让他觉得非常放心。他口中厨艺卓越的厨师便是主厨 Dario Santos，他讲起两人渊 circle of time

do have this ability, and in the end, that’s what you strive for – to give those moments to someone and make them feel special.” Even though he can’t be in Macau all the time, the chef says he feels safe in the knowledge that the restaurant is in highly talented hands: “Dario came to me after leaving culinary school,” says Sá Pessoa of Head Chef Dario Santos. “He’s been with me a long time and he knows what I like and don’t like. In terms of cooking, his DNA is the same as mine, and he doesn’t know how to do it any other way.” After having opened his first restaurant at the height of the financial crisis, Sá Pessoa feels more at ease about his new venture with Sands Resorts Macao. “I’ve been a sole owner, and I think it takes away from you as a chef, particularly in terms of creativity,” he says. “The pressure can asphyxiate you a little bit, especially when the restaurant goes through tough times. You tend to want to leave the kitchen more and not cook, because you get frustrated. But this! – it’s a joy to cook like this.”

eyes are drawn to the dazzling sight of the Spectacle, MGM COTAI’s extraordinary theater of oversize LED screens, which the restaurant overlooks. Then the interior’s more intimate details begin to capture attention: a tray from which guests are offered their choice of finely crafted steak knives from around the globe, a lush mini-garden of herbs, spices, and a lemon tree. But most conspicuous are the sizzling grills that give the restaurant its name and have built its stellar reputation. One is fired with glowing wood embers to bring out each cut’s succulent best, another is an authentic Japanese teppanyaki plate. Both are overseen by a talented team of chefs working under the skilled eye of one of the culinary world’s masters, Mauro Colagreco. Argentinian by birth, Chef Colagreco has won two Michelin stars and a third-place ranking on the list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants for Mirazur, his restaurant in Menton, France. He is known for dishes driven by superlative-quality fresh ingredients, which at Grill 58 include the finest meats personally sourced from the world’s best ranchers by MGM’s master butcher. Overseeing the restaurant teams at both MGM MACAU and MGM COTAI since 2015 is Director of Culinary Geoffrey Simmons, an affable Australian who is quick to point out that Grill 58 goes far beyond serious diners’ expectations. “Grill 58 is a celebration of the grill experience,” he says. “Yes, steak is a big part of it, but there’s much more to it than simply a char-grill steakhouse.

to Grill 58 for the views, the four-thousand-bottle wine cellar, the teppanyaki, the sumptuous private dining rooms, and – above everything – the brilliant touch of Mauro Colagreco. “He’s really a phenomenal guy and the best word to describe him is collaborative . He’s very open, giving and seeking opinions and bouncing things back and forth. He’s product-based, so the freshness of his ingredients and presentation comes through in every dish, whether ordering à la carte or sharing. He’s the critical part of this concept and has invested completely in driving the evolution of Grill 58 – even the name, which refers to the perfect temperature for steak.” Grill 58’s celebrated beef includes selected cuts like the tomahawk, dry-aged for twenty days. Simmons points out that dry-aging was once used merely as a method of preserving meat. “Today,” he says, “it’s used to impart greater flavor and tenderness. We dry-age a number of cuts, including our côte de boeuf, which is grass-fed and has a totally distinctive flavor palette.” Simmons is equally enthusiastic about another of Colagreco’s dishes, this one straight from the sea: “Mauro’s new tuna dish from the teppanyaki is about the nicest thing you can put in your mouth – cubed toro, seared and perfectly cooked medium rare, with ponzu sauce and fresh herbs. There’s a natural acidity that beautifully balances the fat.” Another seafood dish designed for slow savoring is the chef’s decadent brioche cooked in butter and finished with uni: “It’s full of flavor and showcases the product’s absolute freshness and quality.”

Mauro 是整个合作氛围的核心，一心想着让『盛，焰』进化蜕变，就连餐厅英文名『Grill 58』的『58』都代表了烹调牛排最完美的温度。」「盛焰」的招牌牛排，包含了如干式熟成二十天的战斧牛排等各种部位。Geoffrey 提到干式熟成原本只是一种保存肉品的方法。他说：「这方法如今则用来赋予肉品更丰富的滋味和更柔嫩的口感。不只有战斧牛排经过干式熟成，草饲牛肋排也熟成出截然不同的风味。」

Geoffrey 对 Mauro 的另一道料理也非常狂热，不过这次主角换成生猛海鲜：「Mauro 的新鲔鱼铁板料理，大概是世上最美好的食物。将切块的黑鲔鱼腩香煎至三分熟，淋上柑橘酱再放上新鲜香草。天然的酸味美妙地中和了鱼肉的油脂。」另一道专门让人细细品尝的海鲜料理是主厨的海「入口便能尝到极丰富的香气，展胆佐法式甜包：现绝对的新鲜和品质。」 circle of time

elegant brasserie-style interiors and superb menu of French favorites transport guests back to the look and feel of 1930s Paris. The ocean’s bounty is on lavish display at Aux Beaux Arts’s live seafood counter, where a skillful team is kept busy shucking oysters and shelling prawns. A top favorite on the menu since opening is the shrimp cocktail salad. While simple-sounding, its distinctive avocado-and-brandy cocktail sauce sets it apart. Classic fruits de mer cold platters are heaped with the finest quality fresh crabs, oysters, lobsters, mussels, and more from the coasts of France and beyond. The seafood flambé is pure dining entertainment that’s designed to be shared. “In the center of the table,” explains Director of Culinary Geoffrey Simmons, “there’s a large copper pan with a luxurious array of Boston lobster, Alaskan crab legs, sea prawns, mussels, and scallops that we dramatically flame with Cognac – it’s tableside theater. We also prepare the iconic crêpes suzette flambé, which really typifies what Aux Beaux Arts is all about – a refined brasserie ambience, warm service, and convivial interaction with our guests.” No authentically French restaurant is complete, of course, without a world-class wine list, and Aux Beaux Arts’s is truly extraordinary.

It’s no surprise that such a vast cellar boasts a number of wines and spirits of great rarity and renown, such as the Croizet 1858 Cuvée Léonie. The world’s most expensive Cognac, a bottle of which sold for a million yuan in Shanghai in 2011, it was crafted with Croizet’s oldest and most precious eaux-de-vie. This legendary spirit is exclusively available at MGM MACAU. Other classic labels in an inventory admired by true connoisseurs include Henri Jayer, Coche Dury, and such Bordeaux premier cru wines as Château Latour, Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux, and Château Haut-Brion. Simmons notes a number of enhancements that have been made since ABA’s opening: “We’ve changed slightly in presentation and added more sharing items to the menu. We’ve also given guests wider options that aren’t limited to three-course meal structures and created appealing new menu configurations that offer diners Aux Beaux Arts’ select recommendations.”

甜点要领

DAVID HARTUNG ( 7)

With Candia premium cream and butter, one of Hong Kong’s top pastry chefs scales the heights of a dessert classic.

“WH E N I T CO M E S TO MAK I N G D E SS E R T S,” declares Andy

「说到制作甜点，最重要的其实不是技术。」香港

Yeung, “skills are actually not the most important thing.” The seasoned pastry chef of JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong has learned that the primary consideration is always the quality of what goes into them. Which, of course, is not to say that Yeung’s skills are anything short of remarkable. The chef got his start in the kitchen of his father’s restaurant, where he discovered his aptitude and began indulging his passion for sweet treats. “I realized that desserts were fun ,” he says. With the experience of fifteen years, Yeung is now having lots of it as the man in charge of producing an endless array of delectable confections for the hotel’s eight restaurants and all of its special events. Yeung says he finds inspiration in everything from books and magazines to travel. His imaginative take on the Mont Blanc – that iconic chestnut-flavored dessert with a whipped-cream summit, named for its resemblance to the Alpine peak – came out of a desire to revisit an old favorite. “I wanted to do something special, to add exciting elements to a classic,” he says. In his variation, the chef opts for Candia Professional Whipping Cream and Candia Unsalted Butter. “Candia cream has the freshest, sweetest aroma,” he says, “along with exceptional volume and stability when whipped.” So impressed was Yeung with the cream’s distinctive quality that he tweaked the recipe to bring out all of its delicate flavor nuances. And the pure taste and silky richness of Candia butter, he’s discovered, shine through in the Mont Blanc’s sumptuous vanilla coconut cream. “In dessert-making,” says Yeung, “when your components are the best, each flavor and texture can reach its ultimate level.”

JW 万豪酒店糕点师傅 Andy Yeung 说。经验老道

的 Andy 十分清楚，制作甜点的首要考量永远都是食材的品质。话虽如此，Andy 的技术可一点都不含糊。他最初在父亲的厨房工作，发掘了自己的天赋，于是便倾全力钻研他热爱的甜点。他说：「我发现做甜点很好玩。」Andy 浸淫其中已长达十五年，如今酒店八家餐厅与所有特別庆典所需的美味甜点，全出自他的巧手。

Andy 说，不论是看书、杂志或去旅游，任何事物都能成为他的灵感来源。他的经典之作 – 白朗峰，是一道栗子口味、用打发奶油塑成山巅形状的甜点，因形似阿尔卑斯山最高峰而命名，反映了他向往重返心爱之地的渴望。他表示：「我想做些特别的甜点，在传统里加入新潮的元素。」

Andy 制作甜点时，选择的是 Candia Professional 稀奶油和 Candia Professional 无盐黄油。他说：「Candia Professional 稀奶油散发最新鲜香甜的香气，打发时的量和稳定度都很足够。」

Candia Professional 稀奶油的高品质让 Andy 折服不已，他甚至稍稍修改了食谱，只为更突显其细腻的风味。而 Candia Professional 无盐牛油的纯净、滑顺、醇厚，如耀眼阳光般从白朗峰奢华的「做香草椰子奶油里渗透出来。正如 Andy 所说：甜点时，只要食材是最好的，每一种风味、质地都能展现到极致。」 CIRCLE OF TIME | TK |

Scampi, Smoked Cauliflower Puree, Three Models Caviar 纽西兰海螯虾, 烟熏椰菜花蓉，鱼子酱

HOW DO YOU CREATE a Christmas Eve menu with a traditionally festive theme but also a contemporary vibe that will appeal to Hong Kong’s hip young crowd? The solution comes from the talented Cano Chan, executive chef of the elegant Gradini Ristorante E Bar Italiano at The Pottinger Hong Kong. “We try to think of fresh new ways to wow our most with-it guests,” says Chan, referring to the substantial segment of Gradini’s clientele that is part of the Instagram generation, whose motto seems to be “we eat first with our cameras.” The ongoing trend inspired the former graphic designer to come up with three unique dishes that place equal emphasis on authentic flavors and arresting presentation.

Serving as a light prelude is his starter of New Zealand–sourced scampi. The poached shellfish are seasoned with sea salt and olive oil and served with smoked cauliflower purée and caviar, which, says Chan, add multiple savory layers of flavor to the dish. While incorporating modern elements, Chan makes sure that his creations stay true to the fundamentals of classic Italian cuisine. This is evident in his slow-baked Tasmania lamb loin wrapped with Prosciutto di San Daniele and served with stuffing and sauce. “It’s much like a beef Wellington – which isn’t Italian – but for Christmas, we wanted to do something that’s widely associated with the day.” The stuffing comes from Italian Chef Giovanni Greggio who worked with Gradini before. The sauce is drizzled around the lamb in circles that remind Chan of toy train tracks around a Christmas tree. The chef’s favorite is dessert. Apricot mousse sits inside a spun-sugar “Christmas crystal” that is reminiscent of tree ornaments. It is served with crispy sponge cake and pistachio crusts. “We chose apricot,” says Chan, “because things can feel rather heavy after you’ve had lamb. Apricot has sweet and tart flavors that freshen your palate and pair perfectly with our selected dessert wines.”

首先是清爽开胃菜纽西兰海螯虾。Cano 表示，这道水煮大虾以海盐、橄榄油调味，搭配烟熏椰菜花蓉和鱼子酱，口感层次多重而丰富。尽管融入了时尚元素，Cano 亦竭尽所能保留菜式的经典意大利内涵，他的塔斯曼尼亚羊脊酥皮卷佐厨师秘制馅料与烧汁就是绝佳证明。他称：「这很像威灵顿牛排，但不是意式的，而是圣诞节限定。我们想做出让大家都能联想到这个节日的美食。」秘制馅料是由意大利藉的前主厨 Giovanni Greggio 炮制，烧汁零星点在羊排周围，形成一个圈，令他想起环绕圣诞树的玩具铁轨。

Cano 的心头最爱是甜点。杏桃慕斯端坐在焦糖拉丝塑型的「圣诞水晶球」中央，仿似圣诞树装饰，旁边搭配脆脆海绵蛋糕与碎「我们选用杏桃，因为吃开心果。Cano 说：完羊排会有点腻，杏桃的酸甜能清洗味蕾，与我们精选的餐后甜酒更是绝配。」 CIRCLE OF TIME | TK |

“OUR GUESTS ARE LOOKING for authentic flavors – the kind they had growing up,” says Ho Chun Hung, Chinese Chef de Cuisine at Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin. With more than thirty years’ experience, Chef Ho, who expertly oversees the hotel’s signature Chinese restaurant, knows how to please. “Diners at Sha Tin 18 expect traditional family-style dishes that are made to perfection,” he says, “and that’s why we put such great emphasis on quality – we only use seasonal ingredients that are at their absolute peak.” Guests’ special needs are also a top priority for Ho: “If someone tells us they can’t have sugar, salt, or spice, we’re happy to change things up.” Famed for its signature Peking duck, Sha Tin 18 follows the same preparation and cooking methods used at the hotel’s sister property in the capital city. And in keeping with Beijing tradition, it is served the classic way, which is a rarity in Hong Kong. The skin near the breast – “the crispiest part” – is eaten with sugar; the breast and leg meat is wrapped in pancakes and served with cucumber, leek, and soybean paste. The chef, however, is constantly coming up with creative ways to add contemporary touches to the menu. For example, his spin on a classic dish of steamed crab, egg, and minced pork with preserved soybeans also includes sun-dried tangerine peel to lend a subtle fragrance. “Understanding flavors and knowing how to bring them out are always paramount.”

LINING THE WESTERN SIDE of Hutong restaurant is a row of private dining rooms, their closed, side-by-side antique doors mimicking the old Beijing alleys for which the restaurant was named. At evening, the rooms’ guests are treated to a gorgeous display as the sun dips behind the outlying islands and into the sea, and through floorto-ceiling windows on the southern wall, they enjoy breathtaking views of Hong Kong’s skyline along Victoria Harbour. The restaurant ’s interior design is equal ly stunning. Drawing inspiration from siheyuan , traditional courtyard residences, the décor makes imaginative use of reclaimed wood, antique furniture, hanging lanterns, and vintage birdcages. Traditional Chinese architecture and design elements carry through to Moon Gate Bar, Hutong’s newly opened bar space and tea lounge. Guests pass through its titular stone doorway, elegantly arched and carved like the circular entrances to classical Chinese gardens, and step under an elaborately handcrafted wooden ceiling recovered from a seventy-year-old Shanxi house. From a bar counter styled as an oversize birdcage, mixologists serve a range of signature cocktails focusing on Chinese flavors and ingredients. Teas like chamomile and pu’er are infused in house spirits for up to three months; dried fruits like jujubes and mountain hawthorn are boiled down with sugar to create distinctively flavored syrups. In the main dining room, Martin Mak, a specialist in barbecued meats, presides over roasted Peking duck at a tableside carving station. Grasping the neck with one hand and deftly wielding a Chinese cleaver with the other, he draws the blade horizontally along the top of the piping-hot bird, slicing off the thinnest of slivers. Speed and precision are paramount in ensuring that the skin stays crispy and the meat tender and moist when served.

B R U I C H L A D D I C H ’ S R E P U TAT I O N as “progressive Hebridean distillers” is built on a historic foundation tracing to 1881. Always going its own distinctive way, the distillery was originally designed to produce the purest unpeated spirit possible. Today, Bruichladdich continues its unabashed exploration of the full potential of Scotch single malts. Among its acclaimed roster of recent releases are its heavily peated Port Charlotte 10 year old and its extraordinary Rare Cask series. The barley used in the production of Port Charlotte 10 year old is sourced exclusively from the Inverness region, and the grain is distilled in tall, fluted stills, ensuring high levels of copper contact that result in a silky smooth expression. To enrich the complexity of its fragrance and flavors, the spirit has a cask maturation profile of 65 percent first-fill American whiskey, 10 percent second-fill American whiskey, and 25 percent second-fill French wine. With its beautiful spun-gold color, this flagship of the Port Charlotte range elegantly evokes Bruichladdich’s trademark barbecue smokiness. Bruichladdich’s head distiller, Adam Hannett, has released a series of three very old Bruichladdich whiskies, the final parcels of casks from distillations in 1984, 1985, and 1986. They serve as unique tributes to Bruichladdich’s timeless legacy. “These rare old single malts are a direct link to our past,” says Hannett, “and to the men who made truly special spirit here while facing very different circumstances to those we enjoy today. These whiskies when tasted leave me speechless. They are in their prime, the last of their kind, and can never be repeated, never recreated. Nothing quite like them will ever be seen again.”

布莱迪酒厰从 1881 年起便逐渐建立其「领先群雄的赫布里底群岛酒厂」的称号。原先设计来酿造最纯净的无泥煤蒸馏酒，酒厂从开业以来一直走着自己的路。直到今天，布莱迪依然义无反顾地追寻苏格兰单一麦芽的最大潜力。广和非凡出众的 Rare Cask 系列。受好评的新品名单，包含了重泥煤的波夏 10 年，波夏 10 年特别选用因弗内斯地区所产的大麦，收集后放进高耸的凹槽造型蒸馏器中，确保与铜管密切接触，以求让成品质地如丝绸般顺滑。为了让芳香气味更加丰富醇厚，还必须依照专属的木桶熟成标准，也就是百分之六十五的首次装桶美国威士忌、百分之十的二次装桶美国威士忌，再加上百分之二十五的二次装桶法国葡萄酒进行熟成。波夏系列金丝般的色泽，优雅地勾勒出布莱迪标志性的招牌烟薰香气。酒厂首席蒸馏酿酒师 Adam Hannett 发表了一系列三款非常古老的布莱迪威士忌，每款分别在 1984、1985 及 1986 进行最后一批的木桶蒸馏，也代「这些古老而稀表对布莱迪永恒的传统致上独一无二的最高敬意。Adam 说：有的单一麦芽酒直接连结了酒厂的过去，也唤起了当时在不同时空条件下，在此酿造独特蒸馏酒供后人享用的人们的身影。这些威士忌让我一入口便久久无法言语。每一款都处于巅峰赏味期，同时也是珍贵的最后一批，更完全无法被取代或复制。相信未来也很难再见到这样的美酒了。」

数十年来，米兰被视为时尚与设计之都，如今更成为世界各国新锐厨师的跑道。2015 年，圣培露年轻厨师大奖赛总决赛首度在此举办。从此，米兰与全球一流烹饪竞赛结下不解之缘。如今这场竞赛已迈入第三年，今年五月在米兰举行总决赛。这场盛事不仅是新锐厨师极佳的露面机会，也让人窥见美食世界的发展趋势，更足以证明不同世代的厨师乐意交流学习、通力合作。比赛的最后半年，从各个赛区脱颖而出的 21 位决赛选手各获派一位全球知名大厨作导师。每一位导师均在一旁给予忠告，指点选手们改良菜式，以求臻于完美，并都陪着各自的学徒进入总决赛。虽说按规定导师不能下厨，却可从旁计时，在场边给予指点和鼓励。来自东南「和不是自己厨房团队的亚的导师 Richard Ekkebus 表示：人共事，真的很有趣。这一行最美好动人的一点在于，我们天天跟年轻人一起工作，而且我不光是传授经验，也接收新知识，算是互相交流想法。」中国籍导师邱琼天生是个教育家，懂得如何和厨房团队伙伴分享诀窍，还在闲暇时训练烹饪学校的老师。她说：「我从其他导师身上学到许多，看他们如何帮助年轻的学徒，而且

ADMIRED FOR DECADES as an epicenter of fashion and design, Milan is now gaining a reputation as an international runway for new culinary talents. In 2015, it hosted the first-ever S.Pellegrino Young Chef competition final and has continued its connection with the globally acclaimed search for gastronomic excellence. The Grand Finale of the competition’s third edition was held in the city in May of this year. Besides serving as the ideal showcase for up-andcoming chefs and offering a glimpse into what lies ahead in the world of fine food, the event is a sterling example of intergenerational learning and collaboration in the kitchen. For the last six months of the competition, from the regional finals through the Grand Finale, each of the twentyone finalists is assigned a mentor, a world-famous chef, whose job it is to advise and assist their protégé in refining and perfecting their dish. Each mentor accompanies their young chef to the Grand Finale, where, although they’re not permitted to help with the actual cooking, they assist with timekeeping and offer guidance and encouragement from the sidelines. “It’s really interesting to work with somebody who’s not from my kitchen,” says Southeast Asia mentor Richard Ekkebus. “The beauty of this profession is that we work with young people every day – and it’s not just what I pass on, it’s what I receive, a mutual exchange of ideas.”

As an Italian who cooks in Japan, Fantin relished the symmetry of bringing the Japanese young chef to compete in his home country. For the last three editions of the competition, Fantin sat on the regional panel of judges in Japan, but this was his first opportunity to experience the quite different task of mentoring a candidate all the way to the final. “When you’re judging, you taste with your colleagues, analyze the dishes, and understand the concepts.

Finalist Yasuhiro Fujio went to great lengths to transport a river fish called ayu, only found in Japan during the summer months, to Milan in order to create his winning dish. Complex techniques were required to ensure that it would taste just as fresh and delicious as it does back home. The flesh of an ayu is naturally tender and sweet, but the viscera are extremely bitter. Fujio in his dish made the most of this contrast by creating a pâté from the liver and serving it with a broth of “river water” made from cucumber, watermelon, melon, and green tomatoes. Fujio’s intention was to guide the judges in exploring the ayu and its habitat. “I’m an ambassador for Japanese food culture,” he says, “and this dish comes from my heart.” His culinary mission was a double success: Fujio won both the title S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 and the Acqua Panna Taste of Authenticity Award, given in recognition of the chef who best expressed the story and the heritage behind their dish. 有一种只在夏季几个月的日本河川才找到的香鱼，晋级决赛的藤尾康浩把这种鱼运到米兰，打造出这道冠军菜式。要保留这道菜肴远在家乡的鲜美滋味，工序十分繁复。香鱼的肉质细致清甜，内脏却很苦。藤尾做这道菜时，着意强调两者的对比，用肝脏制成冷肉冻，搭配用小黄瓜、西瓜、甜瓜和绿番茄一起熬煮的清汤。藤尾希望吸引评审进一步探索香鱼和它们的栖息地。他说：「我是日本饮食文化的大使，我用真心烹制这道菜。」这项料理任务获得了双重成功：藤尾不仅获得 2018 年圣培露青年厨师大奖总决赛的冠军，也荣获 Acqua Panna 真实滋味大奖，以表彰他传达菜肴背后的故事和传统的功力。

This is different,” he explains. “We work together with a young chef on just one dish for six months. My chef has brought his culture, philosophy, and country to this dish.” Although Fujio appeared calm and reserved throughout the competition, his mentor knew him well enough to explain, “He doesn’t say a lot, but he feels a lot.” When Fujio was at last crowned S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018, his modest acceptance speech brought tears to some in the audience: “I don’t consider myself the best Young Chef in the world, especially after seeing these twenty other talented chefs. I’m a little bit scared, because I’m going to have to work even harder. Holding this title is a big responsibility. What I’m going to do from now on is to turn that fear into courage.” Federico Sarzi Braga, president and CEO of Sanpellegrino Group, in describing the ultimate purpose of the event, remarked: “The best we can do for gastronomy is to continue to nurture talent and passion.”

平静，相当了解他的导师说：「他话不多，但心里却有很多感悟。」最后，藤尾在 2018 年青年厨师大奖赛的总决赛中夺冠，发表得奖感言时言辞谦逊，却令部分观众眼泛泪光。藤尾说：「我不觉得自己是世上最厉害的年轻厨师，尤其是看到另外二十位才气横溢的厨师之后，更加不敢大意，我得加倍努力才行。获得这项头衔是很大的责任，我今后要把这份恐惧化为勇气。」关于这场盛事的最终目的，圣培露集团总裁兼执行总裁 Federico Sarzi 「我们能为美食界做出的最 Braga 表示：大贡献，就是继续培养天分和热情。」 circle of time

VOYAGE OF SELF-DISCOVERY

发现自我的旅程

The S.Pellegrino competition offers a rare opportunity for young chefs to demonstrate their individuality. Rather than representing the kitchens where they work, they’re free to express their personal ideas. During the eighteen months of the competition, at first alone and then with the guidance of a mentor, each finalist finds their culinary voice and brings it to this global stage to communicate a message through their original dish. Some are personal, recalling childhood or family, some patriotic, introducing to the world to their home countries’ ingredients and culinary traditions. Some convey a more serious call for culinary responsibility, such as the importance of using sustainable products and the necessity of reducing kitchen waste. Four of the finalists from across Asia present their dishes and the stories behind them: 对年轻厨师来说，这场总决赛是展现个人独特性的大好机会。他们并非代表餐厅，而是可以自由表达个人的想法。在长达一年半的赛事期间，从一开始独立作业，到之后有导师指导，每一位决赛参赛者都找到了自己的声音，在国际舞台上透过独创菜肴，把所思所想传递出去：有些是属于童年或家庭的私

密记忆；有些是爱国情怀，向全世界介绍母国的食材和料理传统；也有些是为了唤起身为厨师的责任，比如推崇使用永续产品，及宣导减少厨余的必要性。四位来自亚洲国家的决赛选手各自端出菜肴，细诉背后的故事。

Southeast Asia finalist Jake Kellie, eager to combine native Australian ingredients with the signature grilling technique of Burnt Ends, the Singapore restaurant where he works, used much of his luggage allowance by bringing with him to Milan twenty kilos of jarrah wood, which he burned in one piece, breaking it down to coals. “The way we cook pigeons,” he says, “is to put them straight on the coals to give a really smoky outside.” The pigeons spend ten days marinating in strawberry gum, a flavoring with fruity eucalyptus notes that is derived from a native Australian tree, and Tasmanian pepper berries. “These ingredients give an amazing aroma,” says Kellie. “I’m passionate about my home country, so it was good to put my stamp on its indigenous ingredients. I used the livers, hearts, legs, and bones of the pigeon to make a broth. Using whole creatures shows your talent as a chef – it should be encouraged in the younger generation.” As he prepared his dish, Kellie’s competition kitchen filled with appetizing scented smoke, and the judges were seen cleaning their plates. 来自东南亚的决赛参赛者 Jake Kellie 努力结合传统澳洲食材，和他任职的新加坡餐厅「Burnt Ends」独具一格的烧烤技巧。他带着二十公斤的澳洲红木到米兰，行李中几乎塞不下其他东西。他把一整块木头直接燃烧，再拆成小片作为煤料。「我们烹煮鸽子的方式，是直接把它们放在煤上面，这样成品会有很漂 Jake 称：亮的烟熏色泽。」先把这些鸽子放入草莓明胶中浸十天，这种调味料具有果香般的「这些桉树基调，是取自某种澳洲产树木和塔斯马尼亚盛产的胡椒浆果。Jake 说：材料香气非常馥郁。我热爱自己的国家，能够用属于自己的方式处理澳洲本地食材真的很棒。我把鸽子的肝脏、心脏、腿、骨头拿来熬成肉汁，再把整只鸽子拿来烹煮，一点也不浪费，最能展现身为厨师的天分，应该鼓励年轻一代这么做。」Jake 准备这道菜时，比赛会场飘着让人食指大动的烟熏香气，只见评判们吃得一点不剩。

The competition is open to chefs who are under the age of thirty at the time of application and have been employed in kitchens for at least one year. Entrants submit online a recipe and photographs of an original signature dish. It may be a first or second course but not an appetizer or dessert. The entries are reviewed by independent members of ALMA (the authoritative training center for Italian cuisine at an international level). Dishes are assessed according to five criteria known as Golden Rules: Ingredients, Skill, Genius, Beauty, and Message. ALMA selects 210 standout signature dishes and invites those chefs to regional finals held in twenty-one regions around the world. The regional finals see ten young chefs from each geographic region cook, within a strict five-hour time limit, their signature dishes for a panel of esteemed chefs. The twenty-one winners of these regional finals are then invited to the Grand Finale in Milan for a live event over two days. These global finalists again cook their signature dishes, presenting them to a jury of international superstar chefs known as the “Seven Sages.” 报名参赛时未满三十岁、至少在餐厅任职满一年的厨师，均可参加。参赛者需在比赛网站上传一道原创招牌菜的食谱和照片，前菜或主餐皆可，但不可是开胃菜或甜点。这些资料先由意大利美食国际教育和培训中心领导者 ALMA 审核。每一道菜将根据「五大黄

“GREEN BURSTS OUT on every herb,” wrote an anonymous tenth-century Irish poet in rhapsodic celebration of summer. Set foot on Irish soil and the significance of the national color becomes ubiquitously apparent: endless meadows rolling by on drives down country lanes, thick carpets of glistening grass beneath the hooves of sheep and cattle grazing contentedly. One quickly comes to realize that the “modern” idea of “green living” is something deeply embedded in the history and psychology of a nation that since time out of mind has relied on the land for sustenance and for solace. Statistical factors readily account for Ireland’s abundance of green: high average annual rainfall, fertile soil, and some of the cleanest air in the world. A renewed dedication to farming practices that aim to retain the quality of Ireland’s natural resources is supported by initiatives like Origin Green, developed by Bord Bia (Irish Food Board) as the world’s first food-and-drink sustainability program operating on a national scale. Such commitment, combined with a centuriesold legacy of successful food and beverage brands, makes it easy to see why Ireland’s agricultural production is making such a bountiful comeback. Helping the cause are establishments like BrookLodge & Macreddin Village, nestled in a rolling County Wicklow valley. At one time an important agricultural center, the site is now home to a luxury hotel, a wellness spa, a golf course, vegetable and ornamental gardens interlaced with walks, and three restaurants, including The Strawberry Tree, Ireland’s first certified-organic restaurant. Behind it all is Evan Doyle, a pioneer of the Irish slow food and wild food movements, who created the village with his brothers three decades ago. circle of time

十世纪一位爱尔兰诗人在一首热烈欢庆夏日的诗中写道：「每株枝桠均迸发出鲜绿。」在爱尔兰的土地，这个国家的代表色到处可见，重要性自然不言而喻。青青草原沿着乡间道路无限延伸，羊蹄踏着闪亮翠绿的厚地毯，牛群心满意足尽情饱餐。这个国度早已在开国之初便仰赖土地汲取养分与慰藉。不用多久，所有人都会发现所谓「绿生活」的「时尚」概念，已经在这个农业大国的历史与人民心里扎根。统计数据清楚解释了爱尔兰处处绿意全球最纯净的空气，还有持续致力于维护该国优良天然资源的耕作法，例如爱尔兰食品委員會 (Bord Bia) 开发的「源于绿色 (Origin

Green)」，就是世界上第一个全国性的饮食永续计划。政府全心投入，加上传承数世纪、早已声名远播的餐饮品牌，爱尔兰能凭靠农作生产东山再起，个中原因显而易见。座落于威克洛郡绵延山谷里的玛克雷丁村布鲁克小屋酒店 (BrookLodge & Macreddin

Dutch-born chef Martijn Kajuiter heads Cliff House Hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant in Ardmore Bay. 荷兰藉厨师Martijn Kajuiter 掌管位于阿德莫尔湾的崖屋酒店的米其林星级餐厅。

Most of the produce for The Strawberry Tree’s dinner and tasting menus is sourced locally, a good deal of it foraged from the surrounding forests and hillsides. Restaurant staff harvest seasonally – garlic in May, elderflower in June, bilberry in July – and store produce for the winter in the wild foods larder. The village has also hosted its annual Wild Foods Dinner for over twenty years, and, in 2017, The Strawberry Tree put on the ambitious ZER0KM Dinner. Requiring twenty months of preparation, all the food for a fifteen-course dinner for one hundred was sourced, harvested, and processed on the village property or adjacent farms. Farther down Ireland’s eastern coast in County Waterford, the white-walled Cliff House Hotel perches dramatically on the cliffs above Ardmore Bay. The land surrounding this luxury property is zigzagged with walking trails that lead the curious to ancient altars, ruined cathedrals, and weatherworn tenth-century gravestones. Dutch-born Martijn Kajuiter joined the Cliff House team in 2007 as executive chef of The House Restaurant. He relished the chance to explore the county’s countryside villages, uncovering along the way a wealth of locally produced food that he could tap for use in the restaurant. In nearby Cappoquin, for instance, Barron’s Bakery & Coffee House has been producing bread for generations and is still using the same wood-fired Scotch brick ovens, the last of their kind in Ireland. And a little further afield in the town of Lismore is McGrath butchers. Past generations of proprietors served the gentry of Lismore Castle, but today’s father-and-son owners, Michael and John McGrath, offer the finest cuts

菜与花卉园区、数条步道与三家餐厅于一身，包括爱尔兰第一家有机认证餐厅「The Strawberry Tree」。酒店是由创始人、爱尔兰慢食与野食运动先驱的 Evan Doyle 于三十年前与兄弟们共同创办。「The Strawberry Tree」晚餐与品尝菜单都多数选用在地食材，其中又有很大一部分是从餐厅附近的森林与山坡搜罗而来。餐厅员工按季收成不同庄稼，五月是大蒜，六月是接骨木花，七月是山桑子，并将野生农产品贮存过冬。这座酒店每年举办一场野菜晚宴，至今已有二十余年的历史。2017 年，「The Strawberry Tree」更野心勃勃地组织了 ZER0KM 盛宴，费时二十个月准备，总共十五

道料理，所有食材都是酒店自己栽培，或从邻近农场取得、采摘并处理。距离稍远的爱尔兰东海岸沃特福德郡，有一家白色墙面的酒店矗立于阿德莫尔湾上方悬崖边，称为崖屋酒店，周遭满布之字形的健行步道，游客抱着好奇心拾级或上或下，便可一览古老祭坛、颓圮大教堂、历经风霜的十世纪墓碑。荷兰裔的 Martijn Kajuiter 于 2007 年来到崖屋酒店，担任「House Restaurant」的行政总厨，他十分珍惜这个能探索爱尔兰乡间村 circle of time

of locally sourced, hand-processed meat to townspeople and top restaurants. Most rewarding for Chef Kajuiter, however, are the foraging trips he takes with wild-plant expert Andrew Malcolm. The rare produce they collect brings seasonal, distinctively Irish flavors direct from the soil to the Cliff House menu, an authenticity that has helped win The House Restaurant a Michelin star. The economic life of today’s Ireland finds its strength in contrasting sources, from the increasingly cosmopolitan capital of Dublin, European headquarters for many of the world’s top technology companies, to rural farming villages with ancient castles and picturesque stone houses. Both are vital, but most would agree on what’s closest to the Irish heart. “We may have a lot of investment from the perspective of technology, says Tara McCarthy, CEO of Bord Bia, “but the indigenous industry of Ireland, our agricultural sector – that’s our jewel.”

DESSERT

「希雅度葡国餐厅」行政总厨 Henrique Sá Pessoa 从未预料到这道甜点如此受欢迎，自从巧克力「炸弹」推出后，十二年来一直是粉丝的最爱。他说明：「这道甜点是起初在经营『Alma』餐厅时由烘培师傅所研发，不仅一炮而红更深受当地食客们的口耳相传。」

Chiado’s Executive Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa never expected a dessert to gain so much notoriety, but twelve years after its conception, the Chocolate Bombe is still a fan favorite. “This dessert was created by my pastry chef when we first opened Alma and it became an instant success. It was the talk of the town.”
