Food- the love of our life

“ There’s no love sincerer than the love for food” ...and that specifically holds true in the life of all living creatures. I mean, just peek into the life of any middle class households, in India, for instance, and you will find that food is one topic that rules our life. The normal day in the life of a common man begins with “ What to cook for breakfast ?” Then, this is followed by deciding the menus for lunch and dinner.

Food is a requisite of not only the body but also the mind. After all who will disagree with the fact that a good meal, does lighten up bad moods. Chocolates, as we all know are great mood boosters and help fight depression.

Cooking food is itself an art and a divine experience. Cooking, most people think is an easy process, but it is not and involves lot of hard work, patience, and intelligence. One has to have presence of mind and decide upon factors such as amount of heat flow, mixing of spices, deciding upon the favours etc.

Earlier most people learnt cooking either from various recipe books or from the lessons imparted by their elders specifically the women folk.

In the present times, there are many culinary courses in Delhi, for instance, where people can learn cooking following the techniques being taught in national as well as international market.

Professional culinary courses in Jamnagar is another example that apart from the big cities and metros, culinary art has come in vogue in small towns and cities also. These schools offer short term as well as long term courses and apt for the students who want to pursue vocational or professional cooking, respectively.

The professional culinary schools in Kozhikode are at par with the good cooking schools operating in big cities such as ‘The Academy Of Culinary Arts.’ Just like The Academy of Culinary Arts, it is meant for all right from the genteel to the middle income group people.

Survival guide with just 5 ingredients - Chef Shailesh

I think we’re lucky, really lucky because we live in a civilized and urban world where nearly everything we wish to eat can be easily delivered to our doorstep using an app. The saying “No one knows a man better than his grocer” may well have been usurped by “no one knows a man better than his food delivery app”. Consider also that talented chef’s today are experimenting and creating Indian haute cuisine in an attempt to command respect globally. Such cuisine is truly Indian but when presented looks identical to the highest quality French cuisine . Chefs are pushing boundaries and opening boutique restaurants where Indian favourites like butter chicken aren’t even on the menu. At such restaurants, the traditional Indian naan is being served stuffed with blue cheese which at times leads first-time diners to inform the chef that the cheese in the naan is spoiled!

Importance of Cooking and Baking Tools

The saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” is true when speaking of the leading city-state of the ancient world- and nearly as true for the perfect baked food. It takes years of training to become an expert chef who can make yummy pastries and cakes. And while an outstanding baked food doesn’t take as long to be ready as did Rome, the end result can be just as gratifying. As a skilled baker, I take pride in my work. Like people in other professionals, I also use a number of tools to help me bake food that is loved by many. By using my baking tools I provide others with edibles such as bread, cakes, pastries, cookies and a number of other baked foods almost too numerous to list. When I bake, I use tools such as a weighing scale, a whisk, a spatula, a baking pan, measuring spoons and cups, a food processor, a pastry brush, a mixing bowl, a rolling pin and a dough hook. Each of these tools is essential for baking as, without them, I would not be able to make the varie
