o(∩_∩)o 哈哈，这个是我的大爱呀，不就是做饭么，本人最喜欢做饭了。在澳洲，估计最好的交流形式就是吃饭了。而且中餐普遍都很受欢迎，不过最好不要太辣啊，鬼佬很多都不吃辣滴~~~就算你住在homestay的话，没事的时候可以给他们做一顿中国餐啊，不要太难，就一两个菜就行了。很多鬼佬都很好奇中国菜是怎么做的，这么好吃，这回就来介绍一下简要中国的饮食。

To the Chinese, cooking is an art in itself. Chinese cuisine places emphasis on colour, aroma and flavour. Not only must a dish taste good, it must also appeal to the senses to be able to when the appetite.

先来说说烹饪技巧啊
There are countless ways to cook the same ingredients , and each way of cooking imparts its own unique flavor to the food.
蒸：steam
炒：stir-fry
炖，烩：stew
煮：boil
炸：deep fry
煎：shallow-fry
烤：bake（一般用于蛋糕），roast（一般用于肉类）
还有一种是叫做：poach,这种中文翻译是水煮，但是又不同于boil的水煮，如果你要介绍红烧鱼的话，它的做法就是这个。

再来说味道：
酸：sour
甜：sweet
苦：bitter
辣：hot/spicy
麻：西餐不会用到sichuan pepper,应该很少有麻的东西，要解释的话最好是sting，但是最好说明是吃在嘴里的感觉。
咸：salty
软：soft/tender
硬：hard
脆：crispy

接下来你要是想卖弄一番呢，就简单介绍一下八大菜系
