Perhaps, Chef Maxime simply likes things to be complicated therefore he favours one particular cooking technique - kombu jime i.e wrapping marinated ingredients (usually seafood) with kombu, allowing it to absorb the umani flavour of the kombu. The result: sophisticated taste layering. On this basis, Chef Maxime created Beef Cecina Jime. He wraps sea bream fillet with Cecina de Leon (Spanish air-dried cured beef) and pairs it with asparagus poached in seawater （pic 2). To complete the dish, he grates some bottarga on top to complement the savory beef flavour infused in the sea bream fillet. Voila, the complex flavours of sea and land intertwine with every mouthful.
也許是「喜歡複雜」，所以Chef Maxime特別著重一種料理手法：日式的昆布醃（kombu jime），就是把食材（通常是魚鮮）以昆布裹起進行醃製，好讓食材吸收昆布的鮮味，吃起來更有一言難盡的層次感。他把這個概念轉化成用西班牙風乾牛肉火腿包裹著鯛魚片來作「Beef Cecina Jime」，再以這鯛魚片配海水灼熟的青蘆筍來吃，然後刨上烏魚子來配搭鯛魚片裡鹹香牛肉味，海陸的熟成滋味就在暗地裡交接。
