BritishCuisine:
the Best of OldandNew
Britishcuisine(烹饪)hascomeofageinrecentyearsas chefs(厨师)combinethebest of old and new.
Why doesBritishfoodhaveareputationforbeingso bad?
Becauseitis bad!
Those arenot themostencouragingwordstohearjustbeforeeatinglunchatoneofHongKong'ssmartest Britishrestaurants, Alfie'sby KEE,butheadchef NeilTomeshasmoretosay.
"Thepast15yearsorsohave beenanoticeableperiod ofimprovement for food inEngland,"theEnglishchefsays,citingthe trendinBritishcuisineforbetteringredients,preparation andcookingmethods,andmore appealing presentation. Chefssuchas DeliaSmith,Nigel Slater, JamieOliverandGordonRamsaymadethe publicrealisethatcooking- andeating-didn't havetobeaboring thing.Andnow, mostoftheBritishpublicisfamiliarevenwiththeextremesofHestonBlumenthaPs moleculargastronomy,aformofcookingthatemploysscientific methodstocreate theperfectdish.
"It's nolongerthecasethatthecommonmanin England isembarrassedtoshowheknowsaboutfood,"Tomessays.
Therewas plenty ofroomfor improvement.The problemswith thenation'scuisinecanbetraced backtotheSecondWorldWar.Before theWar,much ofBritain's foodwasimported and when German U-boats beganattackingshipsbringingfood tothecountry,Britainwenton rations(配给).
"Asrationingcameto anendin the1950s,technology picked upandwasusedtomass-producefood,"Tomes says. "Andbythenpeoplewere justhappytohaveadecent quantityof food intheirkitchens."
Theyweren't lookingfor curedmeats,organic produceorbeautifulpresentation;they werelookingfor whateverthey could gettheirhandson,andthis prioritisationofquantityoverqualityprevailedfor decades,meaningageneration wasbrought up withfoodthat couldn'tcompetewithneighbouringFrance, Italy,BelgiumorSpain.
Before starchefssuchasOliver beganmakingcookingfashionable,itwas hardtofindarestaurantin London thatwasopenafter9pm.Butinrecentyearsthecapital'sculinary(烹饪的)scene has developedto thepointthatitisnowconfidentofitsabilityto pleasethe tastesofany internationalvisitor.
With theopening of Alfie'sinApril,andotherssuchasThePawn,twoyearsago,modern British foodhasmadeits waytoHong Kong. "WithBritishfood,I thinkthatHongKong restaurants are keepingup,"saysDavidTamlyn,theWelshexecutive chefatThePawninWanChai."HongKongdinersare extremelyresponsive tonewideasorpresentations,which isgoodnews fornewdishes."
Chefsagreethat dinersinHongKongareembracingthe modern Britishtrend.Somerestaurants aremodifying therecipes (菜谱) ofBritish dishes tobreathenewlifeintotheclassics,whileothers areusingbetterqualityingredientsbutremainingtruetoBritishtraditionsandtastes.
Tamlyn isinthesecond camp."Weselectourfoodveryparticularly.WeuseUSbeef,NewZealandlamband forourcustards(牛奶蛋糊)weuseBird'sCustardPowder,"Tamlynsays."Somerestaurantsgoforcustard madefresh witheggs,sugar andcream,but Britishcustard isdifferent,andwestaytruetothat."
MatthewHill, seniormanager at thetwo-year-oldSoHo restaurantYorkshire Pudding,also usesbetteringredients asameansofimprovingdishes. "Thereare alot of existingperceptionsaboutBritish foodand sowe can'talterthesetoo much.We'rea traditionalBritishrestaurantsotherearesomestaples(主菜)thatwillremainessentiallyunchanged."
Thesetraditionaldishes includefishandchips,steakandkidney pie andlargepiecesofroasted meats.At Alfie's,thenewestoftheBritishrestaurants intownand perhapsthemostgentlemen's club-likeindesign, Neil Tomesexplains hispassion forprovenance(原产地)."Britainhas startedtobecome reallyproudofthefood it'sproducing.Ithasexcellentorganicfarms, beautifullycraftedcheeses,high-quality meats."
However,theBritish don'thaveahistoryofexporting theirfoodstuffs, whichmakesitdifficultfor restaurantsin HongKong to sourceauthenticingredients.
"Wecangetalot ofouringredientsonceaweekfromtheUK,"Tamlynexplains."Butthereisalso pressureto buylocalandsave onfood miles,whichmeanswetakeour vegetablesfromthelocalmarkets,andthere are alotthatworkwellwithBritish staples."
ThePhoenix, in Mid-Levels,offersthewidestinterpretation of"Britishcuisine",while stilltryingto maintain its soul.Thegastro-pubhasexisted invariouslocationsinHongKongsince 2002.Singaporean head chefTommyTehKum Chaioffersdailyspecials onablackboard,ratherthansticking toa menu.Thisenableshimtoreinterpret British cuisine depending onwhat isavailableinthelocalmarkets.
"Weuse a lotofingredients thatpeoplewouldn'tperhapsassociateasBritish,butarepresentedin aBritishway.Bell peppersstuffedwith couscous, alongsideratatouille, isaverypopulardish."
Althoughtheingredientsmaynotstrikedinersas beingtraditional, theycanbefoundindishesacrossBritain.
Eventhetraditionalchefs areawareoftheneed toadaptto local tastes andcustoms, whilemaintainingthe Britishnessoftheir cuisine.
AtYorkshirePudding,Hillsaysthathis staffasksdinerswhether theywouldlike tosharetheir meals.Smalldishes,sharedmealsand "mixingit up" isnotsomethingcommonlydoneinBritain,but Yorkshire Puddingwill bringfulldishes tothetableandofferindividualplatesforeachdiner."Thatway,peoplestill get thepresentationof thedishes astheywere designed, butcancarvethemuphowever theylike,"Hillsays.
Thispracticeisalsopopular atThePawn, althoughlargelyfor rotisseries(烤肉馆),Tamlynsays."Sometableswillarriveon aSunday,orderawhole chickenandashoulderof lamb orababypig,andjuststayforhours enjoyingeverything webringout for them."
Some Britishtraditionsare toosacred(神圣的)tomesswith, however, Tomes says. "I'dnever changeafull Englishbreakfast."
