Designing a dish sounded simple, but there were only a dozen dishes. Even with the fruit desserts, there were only twenty dishes.
Any cuisines that Yuan Zhou had mastered wouldn't only have these few dishes. However, the style and theme of the cuisines of the welcome banquet were important.
For the rest of the time, other than thinking about the menu and practicing the dishes on the menu, he paused his regular cooking training such as studying ancient books and practicing his cutting skills.
As Yuan Zhou had held two tea parties before and had several exchanges with top chefs, plus Yin ya had helped him look up a lot of information, the process was quite smooth. He directly finalized the menu.
There were four cold dishes in total, six hot dishes, one soup, three snacks, one fruit, and one red wine. The reason why one soup was cut was that it would be a waste if there was too much food.
