"You see very few fat •Chinese," she maintains, "because. they're_ nab' as keen about rich heavy foods and 'sweets as we are." Some nutritionists, she says, "have called this the diet of the future and many overweight Americans in their middle years might , find it sensible right now." "-Americans have eaten, Chinese food 'in restaurants for years," Gloria Miller declares, * "but they didn't think themselves capable of cooking it aThome '� - Many, she claims, had the curious notion that you had to be oriental to do s�. "Yet no one ever expected 7 you • to be Spanish to prepare paella or French to whip .up a souffle," she added. • Fortunately, these attitudes, are changing, she notes. • Chinese cooking, the author explaihs, is not very mysterious "once . you understand that it's morp a matter' of method than, of ingredients." • Many . techniques, such as • roasting,.deep-frying and stewing are already familiar, she says.'
