Actually, it is better to cool hot food fast. So you can not cool it too fast necessarily. When cooling a food you want to minimize the time that the food is "warm" (neither hot or cold), because it is at this temperature that bacteria can appear the quickest. So through cooling it fast, it minimizes the time that the food is warm, making it safer in the long run.

Hot food will cool down as a result of heat radiating away from it, as a result of touching a cooler plate, or as a result of evaporation,

(when moisture evaporates from a source it will remove some of the heat from that source)
