Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors-it's how you combine them that sets you apart. "Wolfgang, Puck, American Chef, Restaurateur, and Occasional Actor"
Cookery is the art and science of preparing food for consumption by using heat. Cookery is an age-old practice. A primitive human must have found a piece of meat or vegetable cooked in the bushfire by chance. He must have found it edible, chewable, and easy to consume. Probably, he even must not cook deliberately until he knew how to create fire. The simplest method of cooking was holding a piece of meat or vegetable in the fire directly, which is still in practice, with a little sophistication. From the age-old cooking practices to cooking for fine dining, cookery has come a long way with the evolution of humans, their skills, diverse cultures, and equipment. Today, cookery is an inseparable part of our lives that rules our tongues and hearts.
