Cooking 🍲
My favorite hobby!
Cooking, also known as cookery or professionally as the culinary arts,
is the art, science and craft of using heat to make food more palatable,
digestible, nutritious, or safe. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary
widely, from grilling food over an open fire to using electric stoves,
to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting local conditions. Types
of cooking also depend on the skill levels and training of the cooks.
Cooking is done both by people in their own dwellings and by
professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food
establishments. Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique
to humans. Archeological evidence of cooking fires from at least 300,000
years ago exists, but some estimate that humans started cooking up to 2
million years ago. The expansion of agriculture, commerce, trade, and
transportation between civilizations in different regions offered cooks
many new ingredients. New inventions and technologies, such as the
invention of pottery for holding and boiling of water, expanded cooking
techniques. Some modern cooks apply advanced scientific techniques to
food preparation to further enhance the flavor of the dish served.
