Foreword Food culture is an important part of China?s traditional culture. It has a long history. With the progression of globalization, Chinese food is now found all over the world. Its variety of selection, unique culinary art, as well as its fine shapes and rich tastes have spread the depth and diversity of Chinese food culture to the world. In the past 30 years, with the reform and opening up, as well as the ever-broadening international exchanges, our foreign friends show increasing interest in Chinese food culture. It is now necessary to standardize the English translation of Chinese menu so as to better disseminate the Chinese food culture to the world. With her great success in holding the unique and high-level 29th Olympic Games, Beijing, as Chinas capital city and cultural center, has now initiated the grand project of making herself a World City. As part of the work, the Foreign Affairs Office of the People?s Government of Beijing Municipality has organized the compilation and publication of the book Enjoy Culinary Delights: A Chinese Menu in English, hoping it will help to improve the hospitality service and enhance the competitive strength and influence of our capital city. Attain harmony in dietary desires; share happiness among nations. We hope this book will help our foreign friends to better appreciate Chinese food and understand Chinas food culture. We hope, also, that the book can do its bit in helping to make Beijing a World City.
