cuisine: the food cooked in a particular way and very good, especially in a restaurant or hotel

备注：这里的''seeing''做连词，近义词是''since''。

There's not much we can do, seeing that they've already made their decision.（既然他们已经决定了，我们就无能无力了。）
Seeing as you've met my family, don't you think I should meet yours?（既然你已经见过我家人了，难道我不该见见你的家人？！）

1. We all say that if you hadn't quit, you'd be running the place by now. So... How's domestic life? Don't you just love being a mom?

''cuisine''还可以表示“烹调方法”、“菜系”，如：

Italian cuisine.（意大利饺子是一道传统的意大利菜。）

总结：看来''cuisine''比''food''来得复杂些、高大上些。Andrew很烦妈妈把吃饭搞得这么复杂，难怪他说只做些''food''就好了。
