Cookery
Cookery is defined as a ―chemical process‖ the mixing of ingredients; the application and
withdrawal of heat to raw ingredients to make it more easily digestible, palatable and safe for
human consumption. Cookery is considered to be both an art and science. The art of cooking is
ancient. The first cook was a primitive man, who had put a chunk of meat close to the fire,
which he had lit to warm himself. He discovered that the meat heated in this way was not only
tasty but it was also much easier to masticate. From this moment, in unrecorded past, cooking
has evolved to reach the present level of sophistication. Humankind in the beginning ate to
survive. Now also we still eat to survive, however efforts have been made to make the food
more enjoyable like cooking meats and vegetables in different ways to make them more easily
eaten, digestible and to make them more attractive, palatable and to have wider choice. This is
the art associated with the preparation of food.
The story of food service is long and interesting, one dating far back to the very beginning of
civilization. Humans began eating the product of their picking such as mushrooms, roots, and
fruits. Then, they began to kill or catch animals and eat their flesh. In the same time, they used
and then made fire, cooked meat or flesh was first eaten, said the legend, by accident when
someone dropped his share of meat in the fire and discovered it was better. The same happened
with the use of salt when someone dropped his food on a piece of rock where seawater had
evaporated. Later, one was introduced agriculture and both cereals and pulses were grown as
well as fruit trees introduced by the Romans (peaches, lemon, cherries, apricots, walnuts and
plums) from there faraway trips to Eastern countries. Game meat was the almost unique one
eaten until came Geese and Pork breeding. The Romans also taught French how to make bread
and wine, which has remained the French staple diet even today. Cumin and vinegar were the
first spices and condiment used. Onion and garlic the main aromatics. Spices came from Asia
and were highly priced. At the period of III century most of the commodities were used. In a
kitchen, one could find ginger, cloves, chilies, saffron, nutmeg, bay leaf, cumin and turmeric
when the spice road was opened. Soups were served – origin of the word ―Soup‖ comes from
the Old French language where a ―Soupe‖ was a slice of bread. Other says it comes from
Sanskrit words Su (well) Pa (feed) giving ―Supa‖ good food. This detail is taken from the very
first French Cookery Book (―The Master‖) given by Philip VI and Charles V. Guillamme Tirel,
Larder
