19、ss together, and common development! People will enjoy even more delicious, more efficient, more nutritious Food, the ultimate beneficiaries.Chapter 1 .The concept of two different diet1.1 Contrast to focus on taste Chinese food, western food is a rational concept ofRegardless of food color, smell,
20、taste, shape how the nutrients must be guaranteed, pay attention to how many calories a day intake, vitamins, protein and so on. Even taste stereotyped, it must be or bad - because nutritious. The food concepts to the West as a whole philosophical system is compatible. Metaphysics is the main featur
21、es of Western philosophy. The object of study of Western philosophy for the reason of things, often for the reason of things metaphysical science, metaphysics coherence arguments, they form a metaphysical philosophy.This philosophy has brought vitality to the Western culture, so that in the natural
22、sciences, the psychology and methodology to achieve a rapid development. But in other respects, this philosophy advocates have played a greatly inhibiting, such as the food culture. In the banquet, you can pay attention to tableware, pay attention to the use of materials, pay attention to service, p
23、ay attention to vegetables, raw materials, shape, color matching area; but no matter how luxurious high-end, from Los Angeles to New York steak is only one flavor, no art at all. As a dish, chicken is chicken, steak is the steak, even if there are matching, which are also carried out at the disk, a
24、French lamb chops, as he put mashed potatoes, next to the lean lamb chops, on the other side with boiled green beans, plus a few pieces tomato will do. Contrasting color on, but the taste of all types of raw materials unrelated to reconcile all that different in flavor, simple and clear.1.2 Chinese
25、and Western ideas about the importance of dietChinese people attach great importance to eat, and Hunger breeds discontent, This proverb speaks with the days we see as important eating. As our nation for thousands of years are in the low level of productivity, people are always enough to eat, why we
26、have a unique and above all else to eat the food culture, I think, it is probably out of a survival need bar. If a culture as the primary thing to eat, then there will be two kinds of phenomena: on the one hand to take that functionality to eat to maximize, not only survive, but also use it to maint
27、ain a healthy, which is medicine supplement Sibu than cultural foundation; the other hand, excessive emphasis on eating right will make people respected right delicious pursuit.In China, cookery, the right to pursue almost taste the ultimate, as well as Chinese people living overseas have to open a
28、restaurant for the industry, has become fundamental to settle down, we are in the world! Unfortunately, when we put the pursuit of delicious as the first request, we have neglected the most fundamental nutritional value of food, many of our traditional food to go through the hot fried ravioli, and a
29、 long period of slow fire cooking, so that the nutritional content of dishes damaged, many nutrients are lost during processing of the. Speaking of nutrition, and thus a problem, actually goes to the biggest weakness of Chinese food culture. A folk saying goes: Hunger breeds discontent, food to tast
30、e as the first. It is this pursuit of delicious, down so that we ignore the true meaning of a meal.Chinese people enjoy dishes, often will say that this dish delicious, that dish not tasty; however, a further step to ask what delicious, why delicious, delicious, Where, I am afraid that is not easy t
31、o clear. This shows that Chinese peoples diet is a kind of hard to explain in words the pursuit of the mood, that is used commonly referred to as color, smell, taste, shape, device to put this state specific, I am afraid that is still very difficult to cover individually.The reason why Chinese cuisi
32、ne has its own unique charm, the key lies in its taste. The delicious generation, is to reconcile, to make the taste of food, heating after the cooked flavor, plus ingredients and excipients to reconcile the taste and smell spices, mixed together with integration of co-ordination so that complement
33、each other, mutual penetration, harmony You have me, I have you. Chinese pay attention to the harmonic beauty of cooking is the essence of Chinese culinary art of the office. Dishes point shape and color are external things, but taste is something inherent, rather than deliberate modification of the
34、 internal re-appearance, flavor and not overly heavy dishes expose dishes shape and color, this is China and the United States the concept of eating The most important performance.First, the flavor variety. Because China has a vast, vast land, the climate, products, customs, differences existed for
35、a long time, in the diet also formed a lot of flavor. My country has had nammi the norths message, taste on southern sweet salty sour in the east, North West, spicy distinction, mainly Bashu, Qilu, Huaiyang, Guangdong, Fujian and four flavors.Second, the seasons are different. Throughout the year, a
36、ccording to the season to eat, is another major feature of Chinese cooking. Since ancient times, China has been seasoned by seasonal changes, side dishes, winter pure taste strong, light, cool in summer; in winter stew simmered simmering summer and freezing cold more. Third, pay attention to aesthet
37、ics. Chinese cooking, not only skilled, but also pay attention to the traditional beauty dishes, pay attention to food, color, smell, taste, shape, device coherence. The performance of the aesthetic are many dishes, whether it is a carrot or a cabbage heart, can be carved out of a variety of shapes,
38、 unique, to color, smell, taste, shape and beauty of harmony and unity, give people spiritual and material the special enjoyment of a high degree of unification. Fourth, the emphasis on fun. My culinary tastes very early emphasis on fun, not only for the snack food color, smell and taste, there are
39、strict requirements, but also to their name, taste the way the rhythm of meals, entertainment, interspersed and others have certain requirements. Chinese cuisine can be said that the name of the superb, widely appealing. Dishes under the name of both the primary, secondary, spices and cooking method
40、s of realistic names, but also based on historical stories, myths and legends, celebrities eating fun, and cuisine to name the image, such as the family portrait, general bridge, lion head , Beggar Chicken, Dragon and Phoenix, Hong Menyan, Dongpo Meat . . Fifth, the combination of food medicine. Chi
41、nas cooking techniques, and medical care are closely linked, in a few years ago a medical food homology and Diet with the power to say, the use of the medicinal value of food raw materials, made of a variety of delicious dishes, to right the purpose of prevention and treatment of certain diseases.Ch
42、apter 2Differences between Chinese and Western food objects2.1 introduction of Chinese food objects Historically, China is the worlds most ancient one of the countries, there are five thousand years long and heavy history. For thousands of years to form the extensive and profound culture. As time go
43、es by and the vast territory of the geographical differences, the four major cuisines evolved , the four self-contained cuisine, their own characteristics, but the common denominator is a complex and elegant materials, production method of complex, diverse tastes 2.2 About the object of Western diet
44、In the West to Europe and the United States as its representative, also has a long history of their culture. Into the Middle Ages, European culture has been a well-established, in the meantime, the old Western food culture has taken shape. Its main features are: the main staple food in flour, raw ma
45、terials are relatively abundant, production methods simpler than the Chinese, but it also attaches great importance to taste. Today, the Chinese food culture in general is no big difference with the previous. In modern times by Western cultural influences, and gradually have some bread, cakes, etc.
46、to enter the Chinese people's diet structure, but there is no significant change in its overall characteristics. Contrast, the West, in the third technological revolution, the advent of technological innovations, people's lives faster, nutrition and simple food has become the new darling of
47、the people, while the Western food culture is also significant changes occurred toward the high-calorie, simple, portable direction. to Kentucky, for example, the introduction of a variety of food, but nothing more than raw flour, meat, vegetables, potatoes.2.3 The status of the development of the W
48、estern diet and eating the object contrast Westerners think the dishes are boxes, so designed to eat large pieces of meat, whole piece of chicken and other hard vegetables. And Chinas cuisine is Taste, and so Chinese cooking at the selected materials are also showing great randomness: Many Westerners would consider what is thrown away in China are excellent raw materials, foreign chefs can not be processed things, the hands of a chef in China, can the miraculous. Chinese food in terms of materials evident in the extensive random.Botanist, according to a survey of Western
