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.
人与动物相区别的一点是人喜爱熟食。尽管人们发现高等动物猿能用声音和肢体动作进行交流，这与人类相同，但是猿从来不煮食。而且，我们还希望吃的食物味美香溢，非常诱人。人的感官非常灵敏、辨别力强。凡是社会已经发展到超越了单纯维持生存的时候，它就会满足人的美食欲望。世界名菜推出的菜肴都色味俱全——菜的颜色和质地与味道一样重要。 世上众人公认的有三大国菜，法国、印度和中国菜。法国烹调在欧洲享有盛誉，被认为是最出色的。法国菜使用黄油、乳酪和奶油，是所有著名国菜中的典型代表：它把简单和精细相结合，利用本国的本土资源，尽显地方特色，成了真正的国际名菜。
