Food & Cooking

Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry.

Food is made up of… Water, which evaporates when cooked. Fats, which melt when cooked. Proteins Nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals which are destroyed by cooking. Ø Carbohydrates – sugars – starches Ø Ø

You cook food because… Ø Cooking kills bacteria: Some foods cannot be served raw, like poultry. Ø Cooking makes food easier to digest. Ø Cooking changes the taste, aroma and appearance of food.

Cooking methods are the techniques we use in the kitchen to get the results we want. For example, you could boil or poach a steak but that would not get the result you want, which is probably a brown tasty crust with a pink interior. Cooking methods are classified as either: Ø Dry heat methods, which means no moisture is added… Ø Moist heat methods, which involve either water or steam… Ø Combination methods, which involve dry heat and then a moist heat.
