When we speak of cooking, an array of adjectives comes in into one’smind. Such as hmmm…Yummy! Appealing! Exciting! Fresh! Sweet! Muydelicioso! Cooking / cookery in its technicaldefinition is the art, the technology, the science and craft of preparing foods. It’s a fact that cooking techniques, ingredients, flavouring,garnishing and menus vary widely across the globe.
To date back, cooking started from the streaks of fire discovered by pre – historic men. Thus, the birth of grilling and boiling of foods began.
From an open fire cooking to the usage of gas and electric stove for easy, comfortable fast cooking as of present time.
To be specific, speaking of cooking skills,it is a rule,for the nutritional value of the foods to be considered. Moreover, cooking doesn’t only pertain to skills alone.
It also helps people meet the nutritional guidelines in their daily nutrition supply. Allowing people to make healthy foods choices must also be done.
Another valuable point to talk about is, how crucial both food preparation and meal planning are, in a family’s healthy life style.
Therefore, parents must teach their children the value of correct nutrition, proper, and good food choices aside from teaching them how to cook even simple dishes. By all means these must be everyone’s rallying points.
On the other hand, meal planning is a part of an ideal cooking scheme. Bearing in mind that good health goes along with a good meal plan and wellness isn’t definitely a matter of chance.
In the essence the quality of one’s family health life can be equated with the quality, variety quantity and proportion of foods in their home tables.
Good cooking adds glitz and glitters to any kind of food on hand and in anyone’s kitchen.
You are who you are now because of your food choices!

You are a well sought chef because of your authentic menu/dishes!
Cooking isn’t all about expensive ingredients…its all about cooking with aheart!
