Practice 5 If you think American cooking means opening a package and tossing the contents into the microwave, think again. On the one hand, it's true that Americans thrive on cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to professional people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. Probably every cook has his or her own cooking style. But there are some basic techniques and principles that most people follow. For example, baking is a primary method of preparing food in America. The dinner menu often has roast meats and other baked goods. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks give special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include a meat, a few vegetables, some bread or pasta and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.
正确答案:
【参考译文】
假如您以为美式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒,将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热,那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说,美国人靠吃早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及速食晚餐而发育健壮,这倒是真的。从忙碌的家庭主妇到上班族,许多美国人喜欢享受事先包装好的便餐所带来的便利——这些速食在10分钟或更短时间内即可上桌。但是从另一个方面来看,许多美国人都认同厨艺的价值。大多数美国人都承认没有什么能比得上一顿自家做的关食。
大概每一位厨师都有他自己的烹饪方式,但仍有一些基本方法和原则是大多数人所遵循的。例如烘培在美国是一种主要的烹饪方法,晚餐菜单上通常有烤肉及其他烘培食物。因此,美国人会觉得没有烤箱几乎是无法生活。美国厨师们也特别留意食物营养的均衡。在准备一顿大餐时,他们会试着加进一道肉、几种蔬菜、一些面包或面食,而且通常还有一道甜点。他们还喜欢使餐点色彩亮丽,盘中不同色彩食物的搭配构成了健康饮食。
