未有智能電話和社交媒體的年代,喜歡食好西的我已是「相機食先」,狂熱程度會用相機拍照再沖曬,還會寫低tasting note收藏;當時高級餐廳除媒體採訪外一般都禁止拍照,也許侍應見我是個傻大姐,對飲食充滿熱情,令我成為一個例外。
喜歡吃,更喜歡煮,看到別人吃得開心,滿足感是不能言喻。記得做model時曾因為有一個月工作太忙而未能下廚,心情極度低落,那時我才知道下廚是我快樂的來源。喜歡看cooking show,也常常翻開相薄研究擺盤,自己下廚時也會模仿一下,可能大學修讀藝術,對美學有獨特觸覺,加上累積不少下廚經驗,便膽粗粗走到香港三星米芝蓮餐廳 L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon見工做廚,但餐廳經理說我零經驗,連menu上的法文也不懂讀,要我先學習跟容人溝通,就從帶位做起,當時人工好像只有一萬三千元。
做帶位要負責落booking、將侍應記低客人的要求入guest record、出confirmation、也會聯絡到供應商,閒談間廚師們更會跟我分享煮食心得;當時一星期有兩日我會在落場後走到法國文化協會學法文,緊接晚上再上班,生活忙卻充實。在Robuchon短短工作四個月卻獲益良多,為之後經營Ta Pantry私房菜奠下基礎。
一間餐廳最忌是沒有winning dish,慶幸當時Ta Pantry有兩個:鵝肝蒸蛋,海膽意粉;經營了半年私房菜,生意是不錯,卻發現自己很多不足,因此再自薦到香港置地文華東方酒店法國餐廳 Amber 跟名廚 Richard Ekkebus學師。從小到大我都是異類,沒有團體生活,與professional kitchen緣起於一次在Amber上cooking class,看到廚房出單,廚師們的拼勁,那種節奏和氣氛令我深深愛上廚房。某次聽food talk碰到Richard,我跟他分享已展開私房菜工作卻有感不足,他立即安排我到Amber工作,還幫我計劃學習歷程,要我先在甜品部從低做起;當時甜品部一位十分豪氣的女廚師還叫我盡情copy;當我打算放棄用pastry bag,另一位廚師迫我學懂,我說想學開生蠔,Richard讓我放題式開蠔;還能親嚐食法國抵港1000蚊 1kg 的士多啤梨,我是幸運的一位。後來工作太忙,去Amber學師的時間越來越少,不敢埋station,但我個性冷靜、好記性又夠手定,所以擔當砌盤,又是另一種學習。
那時的我入手了不少名廚的cook book,某天Amber一位廚師跟我說 “Be careful not to lose yourself” 不論待人處事、工作,還是育兒上,這句說話到今天依然受用。

[ udn.com 聯合新聞網 專欄 / UDN Column] 淺談盤式甜點 / On plated desserts (desserts à l'assiette) (English below)
其實已經談了不少次的盤式甜點,還是想藉著紙本媒體的傳播機會,讓更多人對這個類別的甜點有一些概念。最近台北市的盤式甜點相關活動很多、也有專門經營盤式甜點的店家,你們都吃過哪些令人印象深刻的作品呢?

Sometimes I'd be really surprised about how quickly Taiwan catches up and creates food trends. Plated desserts (desserts à l'assiette) are of course new to Taiwanese people while for many, French pastries are still considered a novelty. But enjoying a plated dessert is surprisingly not difficult at all here. Lots of events organised by talented pastry chefs are taking place, and Taipei's even got a dessert restaurant where you're encouraged to taste a complete menu composed with desserts and pastries. So what exactly is a plated dessert and how a pastry chef conceive his/her dishes? And probably most importantly, where to enjoy them? Click on the following link and read the full entry (in Chinese).

[#甜蜜食間 / Ying’s Sweet Time] Makito Hiratsuka平塚牧人的甜點工藝 : akeru E x Bar Mood Taipei 吧沐
陽光還亮晃晃的,這時候就開始吃甜點配雞尾酒會不會太開心了?
哎呀,本來就應該是這麼開心的呀!Bar Mood Taipei 主理人吳盈憲(Nick Wu)雖是在 2016 世界調酒大賽(Diageo World Class)的兩項冠軍得主,Bar Mood 卻一點也不高冷,他本人更是親和。對他來說,能夠讓客人賓至如歸、像在自家客廳裡一樣放鬆,在酒精之外享受開心時光應該是最開心的事。他和平塚主廚(Makito Hiratsuka)的合作也是如此,調酒與甜點既是「pairing」,就不是競爭彼此的個性表現,而是協調、互補、1+1 大於 2。
Nick 與 Makito 主廚相識四年,雖然他說「時間不長」,但我們都知道,「投契」比時間長短更重要。他與 Makito 主廚也非第一次合作,私底下是會一起去喝酒的哥兒們,合作辦活動難不倒他們。原本已經定好五道甜點搭配三杯飲品,但前一天晚上 Makito 主廚做好開胃前甜點(pré dessert)的「Olive Candy from Roca」的時候,忍不住發出「應該要有杯飲料搭配」的感嘆,Nick 沒花多少時間,就決定用冷萃金萱琴酒的奶香襯托綠橄欖與鯷魚的鹹鮮,另外加入西瓜延伸橄欖外糖衣的甜蜜滋味,最後再以檸檬馬鞭草的隱味提升清新感,而這時候 Makito 桑甚至還沒完成他的mise-en-place 呢!
為了慶祝 Makito 主廚出新書,時間又是春天,本次餐會就以此萬物萌發的此刻為題。三道主要的甜點分別是「Edamame Pudding」(毛豆布丁)、「黄鶯睍睆 うぐいすなく」與「Sakura Bonsai」(櫻盆栽),搭配的調酒全部都是以冷萃茶琴酒為基底,茉莉花茶、大吉嶺紅茶、四季春,以茶特有的清新、微苦及丹寧的澀感降低多道甜點可能疊加的負擔,同時以新鮮與醃漬的水果增添圓潤度,考量面面俱到。
「Edamame Pudding」是有多元文化背景的 Makito 主廚懷鄉之作。父母皆出身於日本東北宮城縣的小鎮石卷(Ishinomaki),毛豆是當地盛產的農產品之一,經常被用來取代紅豆泥、綠豆泥製作甜點。毛豆泥的布丁潤滑可口,加上白味噌香緹(White miso Chantilly),原本應該是溫婉的日式風情,但 Makito 桑卻撒上了黑胡椒、辣椒薄片,再點上以羅勒、蒔蘿等香草製成的「森林油」,瞬間染了一絲台式煙火氣。搭配名為「青」的調酒,在茉莉花茶琴酒、羅勒糖漿以外,還有柚子、荔枝果泥、蒔蘿,輕輕的在酸、甜、苦等面向多了鋪墊,讓毛豆與味噌的溫厚多了輕盈感。
「黄鶯睍睆 うぐいすなく」是日本劃分節氣季候的「 72 候」之一,黃鶯在枝頭啼鳴,梅花還開著,但已經可以見到綠意逐漸覆蓋大地。如果蕎麥鬆餅、大吟釀香緹(Daijinjo Chantilly)更偏向冬季的沈穩,青豆甜點奶餡(pea pastry cream)與梅子雪酪則表現出即將過渡至春季的輕盈。這一道甜點搭配的調酒「分」口味較甜,大吉嶺紅茶琴酒中調入芭樂果泥、鹹楊桃、蘋果,醇厚風韻彷彿蘊藏了萌發新芽的能量。其中鹹楊桃呼應了甜點中的日式醃梅(ume),與紅茶、芭樂、蘋果的搭配意外引出煙燻龍眼乾的風味,令人驚喜。
重頭戲「Sakura Bonsai」是春季慶典的高潮,Makito 桑用了開心果與山茼蒿(Shungiku / Crown Daisy),以堅果和綠葉蔬菜烘托並平衡櫻花淡雅、但過多時可能稍顯人工的香氣。最令人拍案叫絕的一點,是竟然同時使用了當日與前日製作的微波櫻花戚風蛋糕體,不僅增加細緻的口感變化,還在概念上反應了重視「時間感」的日式美學。搭配的「春」調酒,是以怡人的四季春琴酒為基底,加入檸檬汁與自家製通寧糖漿,茶的單寧感明顯但溫柔,完全不搶戲,卻極富存在感,突出了甜點中櫻花香氣裡的木質調,是我印象最為深刻的一杯。
最後的小點(mignardise)是小巧精細的天鵝造型泡芙,一黑一紅,上桌時人人驚呼可愛。而我在廚房中看到 Makito 桑靈巧地用他的大手一一組合天鵝的頸脖、翅膀,不由得再次感歎,甜點確實是由精確堆疊出的美感。最後 Nick 親自為我們沖泡碳焙烏龍茶,分享他在南投茶世家中長大的童年回憶。熱茶一下肚,濃釅的碳焙香氣安頓了適才上演的種種絢麗煙花,確實是完美的句點。
大部分的人可能不知道,其實每次參加餐會都是兵荒馬亂,大部份時候也總是精神緊繃,需要同時錄影、錄音、拍照、訪談,記下所有細節。大部份時候「工作」的意識遠遠大於享受,但此次的餐會卻難得讓我真正感到放鬆。工作還是工作,但藉著品嚐每一道甜點與調酒、認識更多在專業領域努力付出的職人,我由衷感到世界變得更為寬廣。
甜點(尤其是盤式甜點)與調酒都不是生活必需,而是帶來樂趣的加值品,然而在「享樂」的當下,人生確實更有滋有味。Makito 主廚用「Eureka」與「akeruE」作為食譜書名、分享頓悟的喜悅,這次的餐會帶給我的意義也同樣如此。

Hi! This is the first video of me doing someone else's makeup, I'm sure you are all tired of seeing my face so I'll try to get more people on my channel~
I'm going to get Viet subtitles on this video, if they're not up by the time I upload this video just know they will be eventually!
My mom barely wears makeup so I wanted to see how her face would look beat to the max haha. I remember being so sad when she threw her makeup brushes away around 10 years ago and wouldn't let me have them ? I didn't even know how to hold a brush properly back then but still
Also if you scroll down to the very first post on my Instagram page it's actually a video with my mom!
Thanks for watching and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
