André Chiang Taiwan is the youngest in the history of French cuisine restaurant chef, his restaurant was named "the world's top 50 restaurants." At the age of 35, he merged Chinese and Western cooking culture, gathered and summarized his long journey of learning art, and founded the "octagonal philosophy". In the book "Beginner Mind", the author records his own growth in chronological order without hesitating in detail, and generously shares his cooking experience and philosophy during his studies.
can completely regard this book as an inspirational book on how ordinary Taiwanese teenagers can grow into international chefs. It presents the journey of a young man who broke into a square inch of the kitchen by accident, to become a top chef in Taiwan, but then abandons everything to go to France to apprentice. He can’t speak French, he can only cook potatoes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’s top kitchen; he lives in a warehouse and spends all his money on Michelin feasts in order to accumulate his skills. When the opportunity comes, he cries for the first time and is a blockbuster. . However, what fascinates me more is his consistent initial aspiration, his views on food, and the set of seemingly unconventional, but rooted in the ordinary "octagonal philosophy".
From "cooker" to "chef" to "cooking artist", he completely got rid of any restrictions and constraints, only insisted a little, fully understood the ingredients, and found the most suitable way of presentation. The octagonal philosophy is the style and core of his creation, and the origin of all creativity. He does not write recipes or deliberately record any recipes. He uses his cooking intuition to present the essence of food with his philosophy. The octagonal is unique, texture, memory, purity, terroir, salt, southern, and craftsmanship. He does not use recipes or names, but presents eight tastes based on local seasonal ingredients.
