题目内容:
The Chicago Fine Chocolate Show took place in November. Pastry chefs (面包师) from around the country handed out samples of their very best work. Chef Scott Green, a chocolate sculptor, impressed the attendees at the show. Not only did he bring his work for all to see,but he also made chocolate sculptures right then and there.
Green talked to TFK about his job as a chocolate sculptor. He explained that he thinks of himself as an artist who just happens to work with chocolate rather than wood or stone. “I hive been around chocolate so long that it isn’t chocolate anymore,” he said. To learn more about the job of a chocolate sculptor, read on.
TFK: What was the hardest thing that you have ever carved, and what was it made of?
GREEN: In 2017, I did the U.S. Pastry Championship, and I had to carve ft castle out of white chocolate for the competition. I didn’t have a lot of experience, and white chocolate is hard to carve. That was the hardest thing I have ever carved.
TFK: How long does it take to make an average sculpture?
GREEN: For me, it takes a couple of days. Most of that time is getting all the pieces ready. The easiest part is gluing it all together. Chocolate is used for glue. It holds together very well.
TFK: How much chocolate do you use per sculpture?
GREEN: It depends on the sculpture. For a show piece, I maybe use 20 to 60 pounds of chocolate. You have to be really strong to lift it. I always ask for help.
TFK: Is it easier to work with sugar or chocolate?
GREEN: They are very different. Generally speaking, it is easier to work with chocolate. Chocolate likes being poured into molds (模具), and it sets at room temperature. Sugar is much more fragile. It is very hot when you work with it and not as easy.
