Cuisine way or mommy's way?--Ravioli ,Sauted Salmon and Parsley with Creamy Tomato Sauce


----If I told you, "you are doing great", you probably wouldn't be convinced but just feel grateful, since I am encouraging you all the time, But what if , I told you a lot of your friends agreed with me and it was just they hadn't got chance to tell you, I guess you are smiling at this moment. So , thank you for passing on the 'complements' from *my* friends, it is really a wise way to show kindness, very SPECIAL...

This is a ravioli topped with sauted salmon and parsely with some garlice and tomato paste,  underneath is creamy tomato sauce, which is made from tomato paste and cream.
What I really want to show here is the magic combination of salmon parsley and tomato paste. And I just used canned salmon here. I used to cook them as a fried rice or mix them with one kind of pasta, and parsley here is not a garnish , but a major ingredient here, so don't worry about using too much.

I really like the plating work from those talented chefs, and admire, also with a little bit jealous, their genius that they are able to come up with beautiful patterns in such a short time, so a good chef has to be an artist as well!

I can always get inspiration from watching those shows, and I also got another funny rule: if something is usually served as a mixture, you can often make it prettier by separating them before serving, like a minestrone soup, in’the next iron chef’, he plated all the ingredients and put the broth on the side, not pour the broth until served, I think it is something creative that I would never thought of.

But sometimes, when something traditional shows up in a very unconventional way, it will appear a little ironical, I read about some adult made Mac&Cheese with some fancy truffle oil , and I drew it here to  show you how to serve a Mac&Cheese in a fancy restaurant way:

           Step1: Take the macaroni on the left
           Step 2: Dip into the creamy sauce in the middle
           Step3: Dip into the Cheddar cheese on the right

There is no Mac&Cheese in my childhood, but I am pretty sure it is definitely not the Mac&Cheese that has fed most of people here in their childhood. In your memory, isn’t it supposed to be a big bowl of hot and squabby mararoni covered with melt lovely yellow cheddar?
