十二道書味
The Book and Beyond

食物制造的乐趣与文学引起的激情一样永恒。传统的食材跨越时空,
辗转不同疆土,既是不同文化的传承与见证。也因社会革新与技术进步而不断焕发生机。
正如古老的书籍,历久弥新。每次阅读都能为心灵输送养分。每一次品尝美食,都是在与整个人类文明史对话。

The pleasure offered by food is as eternal as the passion aroused by literature.Traditional ingredients, from across time and space, have passed over different territories, not only inheriting and witnessing different cultures, but also being constantly revitalized because of social innovation and technological progress. They are everlasting, just as ancient books are. Just as reading each time delivers nutrients to the soul, tasting food each time talks with the entire history of human civilization.

Book Quotes
  • “ 爱情的本质就是让我们发现那个灵魂深处
    不为人所察觉的自己。”

    of the soul.

  • “ 这些女人生前考究的生活越是闹得满城风雨,
    她们死后也就越是无声无息。
    她们就像某些星辰,陨落时和初升时一样黯淡无光。”

    The more scandals these women who lead an exquisite life caused during
    their lifetime, the more silent after they died. They are like stars in that their
    falling is as gloomy as their raising.

  • “ 一切都存在于渺小之中,我就是相信这种说法的人。孩子虽然幼小,
    但他是未来的成人;脑袋虽然狭窄,但它蕴藏着无限的思想;
    眼珠才不过一丁点儿大,它却可以看到广袤的天地。”

    Everthing exists in the tininess, and I am the one believing this argument.
    Although the child is young, he will be the adult of the future; the brain is
    narrow, it stores infinite thoughts; No matter how small the eyes, it can see
    the vast world.

马卡龙
Macaron

马卡龙:19世纪后期,法国厨师竞相制作的甜点,由传统单片改为现在的夹心和五彩缤纷的颜色,甜而不腻,外面酥脆爽滑,里面柔软香甜,小口轻尝,在口中慢慢融化,像极了爱的味道。  

Macaron: In the late 19th century, French chefs competed in making desserts which was changed from the traditional monoliths to the present sandwich with colorful colors. The dessert is sweet but not greasy, crispy and smooth outside and soft and sweet inside. Taking small bites of it which slowly melt in the mouth is more like the taste of love.

Ville Castle Sangiovese red wine

桑娇维赛美味可口,体成砖红色,嗅觉上以成熟红色果实为主,伴随着淡淡的香料气息,让人想起《茶花女》的主人公玛格丽特。她美丽、聪明、善良,充满热情和希望地去追求真正的爱情生活,就如同这支阿布鲁佐的桑娇维赛,口感浑圆、果味浓郁、后味有一丝辛辣,让人入口难忘。

Sangiovese is delicious and its color is a brick red and tastes like mature red fruit with light spice ardor, reminding people of the leading character Margaret in “Camellia”. She is beautiful, intelligent, kind, full of enthusiasm and hopes to pursue true love, just like Abruzzo's Sangiovese, rich in taste and very fruity, butwith a light spicy after-taste, leaving unforgetten taste to people.
