Jennifer Lopez and his team eat healthy eating

There was already a news in Esztergom that the 42 Restaurant teams in the main square of the border city will be able to cook for Jennifer Lopez and his staff at the World Star’s July 20 concert in Budapest. We visited the chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant, Levente Koppány, in his own kitchen, and we also first-hand learned from the ingredients the singer was cooked.

• Levente Koppány’s Michelin-starred kitchen offers health-conscious food.

• The catering of Jennifer Lopez’s concert in Budapest is performed by the 42 restaurant of Esztergom.

• The menu includes fresh ingredients, vegetables, fruits, fish and chicken.

Slowly, but more prudently, the world star’s American actor-singer staff decided who could cook the American tour in the Hungarian capital. Their choice was to the restaurant in Esztergom, where based on preliminary talks they were very confidentthat they will be the winners.

The Blikk just visited the Michelin-starred chef, who was waiting for us with several catches. Levente prepared it himself and served the first food, which was smoked sturgeon with leek, Moroccan lemon, acidified wild onion, kohlrabi and chives. In the kitchen, a professional, but a modest chef everyday told me that the food preparation time is 3-4 hours.

Among the desserts, we could taste the dish of Pavlova, which is made with rebellion and the popular Italian dessert Zabaione. The cavalcade of flavors was impressive, but it is not yet known whether Lopez really chooses it.

« Background work and exchange of information have begun in the days, » Levente Koppány said, while the kitchen was constantly hustling. – Now it looks like we’re doing Catering on the day of the event, from breakfast to dinner. The venue is still under organization, but it is certain that our whole crew will move to Budapest. Other times we have cooked in the capital, even in Saudi Arabia, so nothing depends on it. We also learned that The whole American team is healthy, with a lot of raw vegetables, fruits, fish and chicken. In the future, we will come together exactly what kind of food we make, but we must cook for 80-90 people, as far as we know. More people are allergic to certain foods, but of course they are not public information …

Getting ingredients does not seem like an easy task at first glance, but the Esztergom restaurant has a certain point.

– We have our own garden nearby where we grow vegetables and fruits. In addition to our Hungarian partners, we get their goods from the French market, and we also have to order something from Japan, but it also reaches it in two days. We like to reach for classics, but we try to make a little twist always into it, ”the chef smiled.

Levente said while inventing the two dishes, he liked to spend his time in the kitchen since childhood, his mother, grandmother and great -grandmother, and then it turned out to be able to steer his career in that direction.

« I don’t say of course I had a dream to cook for world starsbut we feel like a great opportunity – said Levente Koppány. – If we do well enough, I think we will receive similar requests in the future. Protocol and in terms of prestigeto We can cook as a well -known singer worldwide, but for us all guests are equally important. We want to give everyone the same standard.
