COOKING ART OR SCIENCE ?

COOKING AS AN ART..It is always said that “eye eats first” which means that when the food is well presented, there is an appetite for consumption. The presentation effect gives the first impression of the food. A food well presented and nicely garnished attracts the customer or the guest, and there lies the skill of the chef as to how good the can be delivered. As an artist uses his paint brush on the canvas and explores his skill of creativity, similarly a chef does the same with different ingredients available in the kitchen making sure that the dish looks brilliant when presented.

COOKING AS A SCIENCE..Cooking involves a lot of scientific method.Boiling, freezing, smoking, etc, are used at various stages in cooking, which relate to science. A good knowledge of food safety policies and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is required by food handlers to control over the pathogenic micro – organisms thus preventing food spoilage. A good chef knows the action of heat on proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, etc, and the subsequent change in their properties. A chef not only cooks good tasty food but also sees to keep intact the nutritional value of the food. To cook the most important factor is fuel, which is gas, electricity or solar.Today it is beyond imagination to have a kitchen without the modern equipments. Ovens, Bratt pans, Boilers, etc are the most versatile kitchen equipments which helps to make food more conveniently and fast. Microwave and solar cookers can be considered
