2. Read and translate the tex: Popular Cuisines of the World

Cuisine is the list of food prepared by a particular restaurant, country, or individual. This word is of French origin and appeared in the English language in the 18th century. It comes from the French word meaning “kitchen”, from Latin “coquere” – “to cook”. Each country in the world has its own cuisine with peculiar and unique features. The diversity of cooking worldwide is a reflection of the myriad nutritional, aesthetic, agricultural, economic, cultural and religious factors that impact upon it. Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Morocco, Africa, the Caribbean Islands, Greece, Russia, Ukraine, England and countries of Asia are a few many of the world's culinary centers.

By general consent the three major styles of modern cookery are the Chinese, Italian, and French. Of these, the oldest, purest, and perhaps most sophisticated is the Chinese, which is built on concepts defined by Confucius. The character of Chinese cookery has been shaped by the character of China itself. In a land chronically overpopulated and fuel-poor, people had to use ingredients and develop techniques unknown or ignored elsewhere. Chinese cookery is quick cookery. To prepare meals using small quantities of not very good fuel, the Chinese developed the wok, a round-bottomed utensil that circulates heat quickly. With the wok, and using ingredients cut into small, thin pieces, the Chinese cook produces the maximum amount of food in the shortest possible time, often preparing a sauce in the same wok. Chinese cookery is typified by lightness, freshness, variety, and the combination of contrasting flavours, colours, and aromas. Its influence is evident to varying degrees in the cookery of Japan and in areas from Hawaii to the western end of the Malay Archipelago; this cuisine is very popular in Europe and the USA.

Italian cookery, too, was influenced by fuel shortages, in this case the result of early deforestation. Italy is a land where beef is relatively scarce but fish are plentiful. Like the Chinese, Italian cookery is essentially quick cookery, with thin cuts of meat exposed to heat for periods of short duration, and with such grains as pasta (wheat), polenta (corn), and risotto (rice) dependent on sauces and garnishes for interest. Based primarily on that of the Greeks, Etruscans, and Saracens, Italian cookery was refined to a high degree by the early Renaissance, when it produced the first truly modern European cuisine.

Although today it sets the standard for all other Western cuisines, French cookery was heavy, monotonous, and overspiced until the arrival in France (1533) of the Italian-born queen Catherine de Médicis; with her came Florentine cooks, bakers, and confectioners, an assortment of advanced kitchen gear, and a variety of delicacies then unknown to the French. In the following century François Pierre de La Varenne, a great chef trained in the French court, developed the first true French sauces. In the present era, young innovators, who have based their new cuisine in large part on Oriental traditions, are developing a new cooking style characterized by lightness, purity, and simple, undisguised flavors.
