"Listen, bread is gold. It creates more happiness than just keeping people alive."
"Woof!"
“A spoonful of jam is enough to balance the sweetness and sourness, and the rest of the flavor needs to be chosen by the students themselves.”
"Woof!"
"Pay attention to the time and make it crispy. I can already smell a bit of burnt flavor."
"Woof!"
Half an hour later, Hogwarts kitchen.
Elena shuttled through the kitchen aisles that were filled with the fragrance of milk, her eyes quickly swept across the worktables one after another, and the reminders in her mouth almost never stopped for a moment.
And just at the door of the kitchen, the three-headed Lu Wei was lying on the floor obediently, happily eating the raw beef provided by the hard-working elves, while shouting happily in response to Elena's voice.
Alone to complete breakfast for one person or ten people, and to guide and supervise hundreds of house elves to successfully complete the cooking for nearly a thousand teachers and students, it is simply a level of difficulty in two dimensions. This can't help but make Elena suddenly think of Si
Professor Nepp.
Fortunately, the house elves' learning attitude and execution ability are quite outstanding.
In fact, except for the cheese jam toast, Elena optimized most of the breakfasts to varying degrees. In less than half an hour, she completely convinced the elves in the kitchen.
Elena only demonstrated and explained twice, and all the elves were able to achieve more than 90% completion. The rest were just some minor details. With just a few words, they could even achieve it.
Better than Elena.
After all, compared to the white-haired dumplings who only cook occasionally, these elves who spend almost half of their time in the Hogwarts kitchen have no problem at all in terms of basic skills. They are just left behind and closed off.
They are limited by the Hogwarts cooking environment, but it is not because of their attitude or ability.
To be precise, not only in the relatively closed wizarding world, but now British food has become a joke in the world.
As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, the British Isles inevitably left behind a lot of their own food culture in the process of becoming an empire on which the sun never sets. In addition, the two world wars, especially the First World War,
, most of the traditional British delicacies were buried forever at the bottom of the long river of history amid the flames of war and the roar of industrial machine tools.
"Miss Kaslana, do you think mashed potatoes can be processed this way?"
"You can add some more butter and stir it with the milk. This will make the taste smoother, and it will also dilute the milky taste and make it less greasy."
"Miss Kaslana, is this the steamed egg custard you mentioned is enough..."
"Where are the shrimps? Where are the scallops? Where are the minced bacon? Also, who asked you to add honey to it on your own?! Also, don't you think the name is too long? Call me Chef.
"
"Chef Kaslana, fry the bacon..."
"You want to ask me about frying bacon?! Do you need me to give you instructions on the most basic heat... Wait, bacon..."
Elena, who was patrolling the kitchen, stopped and touched her chin thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, although she has made improvements to most of the traditional breakfasts, if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is still a top dish that can penetrate the souls of all little wizards.
Breakfast is the beginning of every day. A good start is always more likely to bring good luck.
The cheese jam toast alone is just passable at best.
Even with the addition of milk, honey, mashed potatoes, seafood and three-flavored stewed eggs, it still seemed a little thin. The mediocre pickled herring, fried bacon, fried potato wedges and fried eggs were only used as embellishments and could not support the soul of the entire breakfast.
Real food can do more than just taste delicious.
Even breakfast needs to be as ritualistic as possible. This is a belief rooted deep in the soul of every gourmet.
Traditional Chinese breakfast is usually subtle and restrained, lacking in appearance and impact. Moreover, it is difficult to find all the commonly used basic ingredients in the kitchen of Hogwarts Castle at once.
Therefore, in Elena's psychological expectation, it is the best result to be able to use her influence to make "qualified" breakfasts appear on the table at Hogwarts in the morning.
But at the moment when the unknown house elf asked about frying bacon, a gorgeous and warm dish suddenly appeared in Elena's mind - in traditional Western breakfast, it has the reputation of "Queen of Breakfast"
【Eggs Benedict】(picture).
Eggs Benedict, put poached eggs on top of an English muffin (English Muffin is similar to a muffin cake) (actually, eggs are added to the rotating boiling water and let it follow the spiral force to form a spherical egg bag),
Ingredients such as ham and bacon are topped with sour hollandaise sauce as a condiment. It is one of the most classic breakfast dishes in the United States.
However, judging from historical origin research, its original origin should be in Europe around the 19th century.
Over time, Eggs Benedict has gradually evolved into dozens of different ways, such as salmon-flavored Eggs Benedict, spinach-flavored, foie-gras-flavored, and artichoke-flavored (not all delicious),
There are country flavors, and there is even a California-style flavor that puts avocado and prawns in it (these are not delicious, so whisper)...
But no matter which version it is, Eggs Benedict is undoubtedly the most ritualistic dish among simple daily breakfast dishes. It is warm and delicious and has a very high upper limit and a very wide range of consumers.
When you cut the top poached egg with a knife, you will see the gurgling egg yolk slowly flowing out, combined with the fragrant hollandaise sauce, and then use a fork to pick up a small piece of bacon and put it into your mouth together with the English muffin.
——The perfect half-cooked state that seems to melt the tongue, coupled with the unique sourness of hollandaise sauce, crispy fried bacon and slightly sweet English muffin, it will make the whole person feel happy
A melting feeling of happiness.
"Burley, please stop for a moment."
Elena opened her eyes suddenly, turned around, and shouted towards a bunch of house elves who all looked the same.
"There is also a crucial dish, a [Breakfast Queen] that can penetrate everyone's soul. Time is limited, everyone is watching my next operation carefully - this is destined to be a milestone in the history of breakfast at Hogwarts.
"
"First of all, if there is no hollandaise sauce, prepare egg yolks, freshly squeezed lemon juice, unsalted butter, cayenne pepper, and salt to make a hollandaise sauce directly. Then, I also need fried bacon slices, English pine
Cake, eggs, white vinegar, chopped parsley..."
"As you wish, Chef Kaslana."
A slightly high-pitched excited voice sounded from the direction behind Elena. The house elf Burleigh nodded seriously, snapping his long and thin fingers in the air, and a roll of parchment floated in front of him.
A quill quickly recorded what Elena said.
As Elena's voice fell, ingredients and seasonings appeared one after another on the workbench closest to Elena. All the house elves stopped their work and gathered around Elena.
Thousands of years have passed. In the history of the house elves at Hogwarts, no noble wizard has ever been willing to deign to teach them how to cook food. This alone is enough to make Elena's favorability in their hearts rise significantly.
Improvement - not to mention, in just half an hour, Elena has completely conquered these simple elves with her cooking method that transcends the entire era.
"So, let's get started..."
Elena licked her lips gently, her eyes exuding pure light.
From this moment on, she is the queen of breakfast at Hogwarts. Even Dumbledore's ban cannot stop life's desire for delicious food.
