The delicious food, the romantic love story, and the plot as fine as flowing water tell the whole story, ordinary plot, ordinary social elements, but under the director's direction, they all deeply attracted me. The little girl Zoe's acting skills are very good. The sadness of the child's loss of a loved one is expressed in the way of a child's behavior. The more autistic character formed because of the loss of a loved one is also deeply portrayed. Successfully played an independent woman who had no children in her life, but suddenly she has to take care of a little girl in her life and walk into the little girl's heart. All this is a challenge for her. Trying to figure out the child's thoughts, it is taken for granted that the food that the child should like loses its appeal in front of Zoe. In fact, Kate ignores an important point. If he guides Zoe to eat, it is precisely because Nick noticed this that he succeeded in getting Zoe to start eating. It is because of this point that Nick, who was originally opposed to Kate's thought, has a fusion point that relieves his former suspicion. It can be said that Zoe will have Kate and Nick's fusion.

The most attractive thing in the film is that Those delicacies, especially those who are interested in Western cooking methods, have been learning to cook recently, so they are more interested in cooking. In fact, the cultural differences between China and the West can be reflected in cooking and food. After watching the film Having some knowledge about cooking is also a good gain.

Kate in the film can see that buying gold thread fish is the first and extremely important process in cooking: material selection. In fact, before watching this film, although I have been learning Cooking, but I haven't paid much attention to this problem, I just realized some things slowly in the process of cooking, such as lotus root, if stewing soup must use 9-hole lotus root, and preferably lake lotus root, if it is fried lotus root, it must be Use 7-hole lotus root. In fact, this is a small example in the selection of materials. Another example is to use fiber ribs when making sugar-laden pork ribs. These are some examples of material selection. Kate in the film can buy gold thread for Fish give others a kiss and let others playfully act as boyfriends for a while, which is enough to show the importance of materials in the eyes of a chef, so for the improvement of cooking skills, the study and selection of material selection theory practice is essential.


The second extremely important process in cooking: the cooking process, in fact, this process can best reflect the cultural differences between China and the West. In the Western cooking process, strict cooking time, cooking temperature and standardized cooking process are to ensure the taste of food. The key to color and luster, the selection of materials to ensure the appropriateness and quality of materials is the basis of the subsequent process, and the strict cooking process is the key to ensuring the quality of the finished dishes. In KFC, all the hamburgers you eat are of the same flavor, but Chinese dishes are different. The same dishes, such as fish-flavored pork shreds, can be said to have at least 5 different flavors in ten restaurants. What China respects is a kind of variability. Cooking method, so the quality of the finished dishes depends entirely on the ingredients and processes used by the chef. These ingredients are similar to the main process of the process, but in the actual process, it will change due to the different experience and experience of the chef, so this is Chinese cuisine. The reason why the same dish has different tastes, it also indirectly reflects the personal heroism that is often admired in Chinese culture. In cooking, the Chinese chef is the hero of the kitchen, the key to victory, which is in line with the Western respect. Teamwork is incompatible, Chinese culture tolerates some variability, but Western culture is known for strict division of functions and rigorous processes, which can be seen in many places in the differences between China and the West. Although the same It is a chef. A Chinese chef has the right to change some key processes and selection of materials, but for a Western chef, it can be seen in the film that it is the creation of new dishes, but for some commonly eaten dishes, the chef will not be able to do it. It has been changed, but it is different in China, although the taste of the same dish with the same name is not the same, western chefs do not change the dishes that are usually eaten because they cannot make the diners expect The dishes are very different from the actual dishes, and China is completely different. The expected taste is not the same as the actual taste. In fact, it can also be experienced in the political structure. China is a special A nation that tolerates and accepts variability

, many dishes in mid-to-high-end Chinese restaurants are approaching the western cooking process, and the taste is basically close, so more people are pursuing some characteristics that are more in line with their own tastes This provides an opportunity for Chinese Jianghu cuisine and food stalls. In the film, Kate and Nick opened a special small shop that I personally think is a bit similar to Chinese Jianghu cuisine and food stalls.


Some time ago, I have been practicing the knife method of cutting vegetables, shredding, dicing, and hob cutting. Only in the process of learning to try to cook for a while did I realize the importance of the knife method. In the process of cooking division, Chinese In the restaurant kitchen, the red case, the white case, and the pier, I don’t know how these divisions of labor are named in the West, but there must be these divisions of labor. In real life, in fact, many times I have to act as the red case, the white case, the pier, and the cut. , Washing, and cooking are all done by one person, so the decomposition of food only depends on knife skills, which is also a manifestation of the importance of knife skills. For a person with good cooking skills, knife skills are definitely essential, no skilled Knife craftsmen have to practice countless times for dishes? There is no countless practice and speculation about good cooking skills. Chinese cooking emphasizes color, aroma and taste. The aroma and taste are actually completed in the first two processes. But for color, it is actually a sensory requirement. Color can be subdivided into color and shape. Color is color, and shape is shape, placement and accessories. In the finished dishes you see, there will be a kind of material with the same specifications. Aesthetics, if the materials are made of different specifications, it is obviously shredded meat, some are blocks, and some are silk, I think many people have no appetite, and even some dishes are decorated with some carved fruits. Even more important, these embellishments often play the role of finishing touches, which all illustrate the importance of knife craftsmanship, especially for amateurs like us, the red case, the white case, and the pier are all one person.

There is also a noteworthy place in the film, Kate's restaurant will organize kitchen staff to evaluate dishes and wine tasting, which can see some details, if you don't taste and evaluate the dishes in the restaurant's kitchen, how can you Knowing the value of dishes The evaluation of dishes and wine tasting in the film are necessary, and this nuance further reflects the way of management. There are many evaluations of dishes and wine tasting in the film, which can be learned from Chinese high-end restaurants.

After watching this movie, I still have an idea, which is to buy a beautiful photo album, and then develop all the particularly meaningful photos into photo albums. And the method of browsing pictures, nowadays photos are generally digital photos, there are a lot of online photo albums, and the computer hard disk space is getting bigger and bigger, but the lack of it makes people less and less textured, and there is less and less direct feeling of flipping through photos. To see photos, you need to open the computer, open the picture-viewing software or go online to see the photos. In this process, the original interest has been wiped out, so it is definitely a great joy in life to have a good album to read. , Record all the happiness in this album, and keep the happiness by your side forever and intuitively...
