食戟のソーマ 20 [Shokugeki no Souma 20] Quotes

“I can still remember how moved I was by Chef Saiba's dish. But... ... I can also understand how much truth there is to my father's ideal! The culinary world of today is flooded with trite and uninspired dishes that call themselves Gourmet. I have experienced that for myself to a nauseating degree for as long as I can remember. I simply don't know anymore. I don't know what cooking is to me I feel... lost. Confused. I don't know who to trust or what to rely on anymore. I'm sorry. I came to your room before I knew what I was doing. It was rude of me to babble on about my personal problems like that. I'll leave you alone now." "Whoa, whoa. What's the hurry? Sounds like all you need is to taste it again. How about I make some for you? Some real Yukihira Cooking... ... right here, right now! You wait right there... ... Miss Erina Nakiri!”

“The moment I tasted it, it was clear that the egg you used was neither a silky egg nor any of the many other luxury-brand eggs I know. You're dish isn't fit for a gourmet table. At best, this is a dish meant for commoners. So why... why does it have such a delicate yet full-bodied flavor?!" "Whoa! He did it!" "But with super-cheap eggs?! Yukihira, what did you do?!”

“This is just my personal opinion, but... ... people who think there's only one right answer... ... probably won't go on to discover something better. But the biggest reason is..." "Um, excuse me? May I ask how you came up with these combinations? Every one of your dishes is superbly made and truly original, in spite of being so eccentric. How do you know they would turn out to be so delicious?" "Huh? I didn't." "What?" "When I try out a new recipe, it's always half educated guess and half total gamble. Heck, even today you grandfather was my guinea pig for a handful of new dishes." "But... why would you do that?" "Easy. Because it's no fun if you already know what you're going to get”

“On the right is Sauce Poivrade, a sauce made from beef or venison stock and lots of pepper. It has a rough bite with a lingering and clear aftertaste. Poivrade comes from the French word poivre, which means "pepper." This heavy and strongly flavored peppercorn sauce gives the mild and light venison a sense of weighty volume, you see. Then I took some of the sauce and added various berries to give it some tangy and refreshing sweetness, making the sauce on the left- Sauce Poivrade au Baie The berries I used are-" "Blueberries, blackberries, and red currants. You also used black currant liqueur, red wine, blueberry vinegar and raspberry jam. Correct?" "Amazing! You got them all. Not surprising, I guess, considering it's you." But that sauce is not nearly as simple as it sounds! It uses liqueur, wine, vinegar, jam and raw fruit... five different forms of fruit actually, all painstakingly and precisely added together. It's what gives the sauce such a deep and complex flavor. But make even the tiniest mistake and the flavor will get muddled or overly bitter! Keeping everything in correct proportion is a tricky balancing act! It can't be done without a full and nuanced knowledge of all of the particular traits and compatibilities of each individual ingredient! It is a superhuman dish only someone like Eishi Tsukasa's skill and knowledge could create. With the two different sauces, he has beautifully expressed both the delicate elegance and the untamed wildness of a deer!”
