Culture and Cuisine
文化与食物
Food brings people together on many different levels. It’s nourishment of the soul and body; it’s truly love.
----Giada De Laurentiis
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat.”
法国作家让 安泰尔姆 布里亚-萨瓦兰曾写道:“告诉我你平时吃什么,我就可以说出你是个什么样的人。”简单地说,这句话就是“人如其食”的意思。
