Encyclopedia
Cooking or cookery is the art, technology and craft of preparing food for consumption with or without the use of heat. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world, from grilling food over an open fire to using electric stoves, to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions and trends. The ways or types of cooking also depend on the skill and type of training an individual cook has. 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. It may have started around 2 million years ago, though archaeological evidence for it reaches no more than 1 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 water, expanded cooking techniques. Some modern cooks apply advanced scientific techniques to food preparation to further enhance the flavor of the dish served. — Wikipedia
Culinary arts, in which culinary means “related to cooking”, is the art of the preparation, cooking and presentation of food, usually in the form of meals. People working in this field – especially in establishments such as restaurants – are commonly called “chefs” or “cooks”, although, at its most general, the terms “culinary artist” and “culinarian” are also used.
Expert Culinarians are required to have knowledge of food science, nutrition and diet and are responsible for preparing meals that are as pleasing to the eye as well as to the palate. After restaurants, their primary places of work include delicatessens and relatively large institutions such as hotels and hospitals.
The Culinary Arts is said to be the only medium of art which stimulates all five senses. — Wikipedia

Rice Crispy Treats
by Sarah Jampel on December 11, 2019 at 5:00 pm
Rice Krispies Treats meet sesame halva in these savory-sweet six-ingredient bars (salt doesn’t count!). Use whatever brand of crispy brown rice cereal you can find, avoiding the “puffed” varieties, which have a tendency to be more squishy than crunchy. For the sturdiest bars, be sure to really compact them and keep them in the fridge so they stay firm.

Lobster Pasta
by Amiel Stanek on December 11, 2019 at 11:00 am
This recipe is no small amount of work, so be sure to make it for the people you really, really like. The pro move is to break up the process over two days—that means cooking the lobsters, picking the meat, and infusing the cream on the first day, which leaves cooking the pasta and heating everything back up to serve on the second. And no, you can’t just buy already picked lobster meat; you need the shells to infuse the sauce with tons of flavor. You can, however, ask your […]
