Chinese food is •popular, Mrs..
Miller points, out, because it's
stimulating to . the palate,
economical and healthful., The
Chinese, she observes, eat less
than .'halt the meat we do,
considerable amounts of seafood
and poultry and plenty of
vegetables.
"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.'
The . most • 4 unusual method is
