One thing that separates man from animals is man's preference for cooked food. The higher apes have been found to share with mankind the ability to communicate by sound and gesture, but no ape has ever cooked its food. We also like our food to appeal to our senses of taste and smell, and we like it to be attractive. Our senses are remarkably acute and discriminating, and all societies which have progressed beyond simple survival satisfy the human pleasure of good food. The great cuisines of the world have developed dishes which appeal both to the taste and to the eye - color and texture are as important as flavor. There are three acknowledged great national cuisines, French, Indian and Chinese. French cooking is generally acknowledged to be supreme in Europe. French cuisine using butter, cheese and cream is typical of all great national cuisines: it combines simplicity with sophistication, uses the native resources of France, has great regional specialties and has become truly international.
人與動物相區(qū)別的一點是人喜愛熟食。盡管人們發(fā)現(xiàn)高等動物猿能用聲音和肢體動作進行交流，這與人類相同，但是猿從來不煮食。而且，我們還希望吃的食物味美香溢，非常誘人。人的感官非常靈敏、辨別力強。凡是社會已經(jīng)發(fā)展到超越了單純維持生存的時候，它就會滿足人的美食欲望。世界名菜推出的菜肴都色味俱全——菜的顏色和質(zhì)地與味道一樣重要。 世上眾人公認的有三大國菜，法國、印度和中國菜。法國烹調(diào)在歐洲享有盛譽，被認為是最出色的。法國菜使用黃油、乳酪和奶油，是所有著名國菜中的典型代表：它把簡單和精細相結(jié)合，利用本國的本土資源，盡顯地方特色，成了真正的國際名菜。
