appearance is very important. Of course, an haute cuisine dish must taste wonderful, but that is not enough.
An haute cuisine dish must also look beautiful. Another very important part of haute cuisine is wine. Chefs
and customers always try to select a wine that is a perfect match for their meal. The wine that people drink
with haute cuisine is often very rare. You will not be surprised to hear that haute cuisine dishes are almost
always very expensive.
Haute cuisine is traditionally French, but other countries have similar concepts of food. People often
compare Japanese kaiseki to haute cuisine. Kaiseki is another very complicated, very high level kind of
food. In Japan, kaiseki is also considered a kind of art. When Japanese chefs prepare kaiseki, they don’t just
consider the taste of the food. They also consider the food’s texture, colour, and appearance. Chefs even
match the colour of the food to the colour of the plate and the chopsticks. Of course, although haute cuisine
and kaiseki share many similarities, the food itself is quite different.
If you ever get the chance to try kaiseki or haute cuisine, remember one thing: You are not just having a
meal; you are enjoying a very special kind of art.
