Chef Dew / European Fermentation: Dew's Flavor Journey.
Auto-TranslationPickling and fermentation not only enhance the flavors of ingredients, but more importantly, they extend the shelf life of food. Different cultures around the world rely on various staple foods, each with its own unique pickled and fermented dishes that embody the deepest aspects of local culture, becoming inseparable from human life.
Through ingredients, the beauty of nature is interpreted, and the various sensory experiences encountered during journeys are conveyed through cuisine. Chef Hank, the executive chef of Dew-chef's wine and gourmet, prepares exquisite dishes with delicate techniques. He is also like an experimental explorer of flavors, using unique ingredients that differ from the everyday to stimulate the imagination, guiding diners to experience a beautiful new world of flavors alongside him.
"For us chefs, the most important aspect of cooking is flavor," Hank says. "The fascinating thing about fermentation is the ability to discover a multitude of flavors. For example, if you take potatoes, cook them, and put them in a jar to ferment, they transform into fermented potatoes, and the taste becomes completely different." In Hank's eyes, every fermentation jar in the kitchen holds infinite possibilities. He laughs, saying that just imagining can lead to even more flavor variations, and when paired with other ingredients, guests will see and taste a whole new world of flavors.
