Principles Of Cooking And Food Preparation

Akopọ

Cooking is not just applying fire to food. It is a piece of everyday science that decides whether a meal is safe to eat, easy to digest and a pleasure to swallow. The same pot of soup can come off the fire nourishing or ruined, and the difference is not luck. It is whether the cook understood what heat was doing to the food all along.

In this lesson you will learn the real reasons we cook at all, the three ways heat travels from a flame into your food, and what that heat does to protein, starch, sugar, fat and the delicate vitamins inside. You will meet the simple rules that separate a clean, economical kitchen from a wasteful one, and the small habits that let you serve a plate of vegetables that still carries the vitamins nature put there.

A young caterer in Ibadan boils a big pot of ugu leaves for half an hour to be sure they are soft, then pours the dark green water down the drain and serves the leaves proudly. They look cooked. What she does not see is that most of the vitamin C the ugu contained has been destroyed by the long heat and washed away in the water she threw out. She has cooked the food and cooked away its value at the same time. Cooking is the daily science every caterer practises, and a cook who understands why we cook, how heat reaches the food, and what heat does once it arrives will make meals that are safer, tastier and more nourishing than a cook who simply waits for the pot to boil. This lesson gives you that understanding.
