The relative nature of these differences will increasingly promote cultural exchanges between East and West, and Western food culture has also contributed to the continued integration. The globalization trend of the crosscultural munication makes a variety of culinary culture constantly plementary and patible.

The initial motivation of eating is to sustain human survival and development. Protein, fat and vitamins are the basic materials of life to maintain normal metabolism of people. So, in the design of food products, we should adopt a scientific attitude, reasonably equipping human body with all the necessary nutrients. Whether Western or Chinese food, we must achieve this point, especially in making Western food.(2) We should achieve a perfect bination of the dining environment with the diversification of food products. China’s tourist hotels in the development of food products should pay attention to bine the Chinese and Western food cultures. As far as the restaurant is concerned, there should be Chinese and Western restaurants, style halls, banquet halls, as well as selfservice restaurants, which offer a variety of dining establishments. Dishes listed in the menu should also be diverse to meet the different needs of Chinese and foreign guests.
