1. Food and Cookery
(еда и кулинария)


Cooking is the art and science of preparing food for eating by the application of heat. The term also includes the full range of culinary techniques: preparing raw and cooked foods for the table; final dressing of meats, fish, and fowl; cleaning and cutting fruits and vegetables; preparing salads; garnishing dishes; decorating desserts; and planning meals.

The origins of cooking are not very clear. Primitive humans may first have tried roast meat by chance, when the flesh of a beast killed in a forest fire was found to be easier to chew and digest than the customary raw meat. They probably did not deliberately cook food, though, until long after they had learned to use fire for light and warmth. Then they started to use shells, skulls, or hollowed stones to heat liquids. Later pottery began to be used.

Culinary techniques improved with the domestication of animals and the cultivation of edible plants. Now milk and dairy products were on the menu. The cooking techniques of boiling, stewing, braising, and perhaps even primitive forms of pickling, frying, and oven baking were added. Early cooks probably had already learned to preserve meats and fish by smoking, salting, air-drying, or chilling.

The discovery of America has profoundly influenced worldwide cooking and brought to European use such products as chocolate, vanilla, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, peppers, and many other foods unknown elsewhere before the late 15th century. More recently, science has seriously influenced food technology. Now at our kitchens we have pressure cookers, microwave ovens, frozen foods, convenience foods, and use food additives, substitutes, and extenders. We also like to go out to canteens, cafes and restaurants for a meal. Fast-food chain restaurants are also considered to be food service systems.

Modern food service systems usually prepare whole meals in a central facility, package them in such a way that they remain fresh for the necessary period of time, and distribute them to dining rooms. Recipes are standard; and the preparation of the food itself takes place in assembly-line fashion, using sophisticated, sometimes computerized, pressure cookers, fryers, grills, and ovens. Preservation techniques include fast freezing, precooking, and dehydrating.

The phenomenal growth of fast-food chains since the 1950s is in large part the result of the same new technologies. All of food is sent in a ready-to-cook state: hamburgers and fish are already portioned and shaped, potatoes are ready-cut for frying, portions of pie are packaged in containers for special microwave ovens.

No matter what technological advances have been made, cookery today is basically what it has been since Neolithic times. People still roast, grill, and bake their foods, using dry-heat techniques known for countless millennia. They still saute food in small amounts of fat, fry food in deep fat, boil food in liquids, and stew and braise food in lesser amounts of liquid, as people have done since the invention of pottery.
