1.Firstofall,themakingmethodofChinesefoodisdifferentfromWestern-stylefood.首先，中西餐的烹调方法不同。
InWestern-stylefoodcookbook,variousingredientssuchastheflour,sugar,butteretc.havebeenindicatedseveralgrams,severalspoonsorseveralcups,eventhesizeoftheeggwillallbeexplained.Ithinkitislikeatestinglaboratory.So,MakingWestern-stylefoodiseasy,solongasyoucookaccordingtocookbookmanual.
西餐的烹调书中写明了面粉需要几克，糖需要几汤匙，黄油需要几杯等等，甚至连用到的鸡蛋的大小也有说明。烹调西餐就像在实验室里做实验一样。所以只要参考着烹调书，西餐是很好做的。
ButitisnottheeasythingthatyouwanttomakefineChinesefood.Evenifyouhaveboughtthecookbook,itisnotsoeasy.BecausetheChinesecookbookwillnottellyouseveralgramsofingredient,forexamplesalt,Chinesecookbookjusttellyouappropriateamountofsalt,don’ttellyouseveralgram,severalspoonorseveralcup.WhyThetasteofpeoplewholiveindifferentplacesisdifferentinChina.ThereisafolkadageinChina“southsweet,northsalty,easthotandwestsour”.So,agoodcookreliesonexperienceandskillwhencooksinChina.
但是要做出美味的中餐，即使你有参考书也不是一件容易的事。因为烹饪书里不会告诉你原料的用量，比如盐，只会告诉你“适量”，而不会精确到克。为什么呢因为在中国，不同地域的人们口味不同。俗话说：南甜，北咸，东辣，西酸。所以，一个好厨师靠的是丰富的经验和技巧。
2.Second,theatmosphereofChinesefoodisdifferentfromWestern-stylefoodwhilehavingameal.
其次，中西方的就餐氛围不同。
TheatmosphereofWestern-stylefoodisparticularaboutscenery.Thegoodrestaurantisgenerallybuiltinthebeautifulmountaintop,parkortherevolvingdining-roomofthecitycenterhighbuilding.SoWestern-stylefoodis“Eatthescenery”butnot“Eattaste”.
在西方，人们看重就餐的环境。一家好的餐馆建在风景如画的山顶、公园或者城市中心的高楼上。所以西餐吃的不是味道，是环境。
TheatmosphereofChinesefoodisparticularabouttasteandparticipation.Chinesefoodconquerstheworldwithtaste.ThereisafolkadageinChina“IfIwanttoconqueryourheart,Iwillconqueryourstomachfirst”.EverybodysitsaroundtablewhileeatingChinesefood,everybodyiseatingthedishinthesameplate,thehospitablehostwillalsonipthedishintoyourbowl,itissofriendly.Thefriendshipbetweenpersonandpersonisdeeperafterameal.
