The basic approach to American lifestyle and culture have changed drastically since the second world war. Because of the lack of men due to heavy drafting into the war, women were encouraged to join the workforce. Canning and freezing food became a cultural norm in order to cheaply stock up on food during the war. From the encouragement of both genders in the workforce and the prevalence of processed foods, society has now become accustomed to the ease of less-than-three-minute meals, gradually characterizing cooking as an archaic activity. Michael Pollan, a journalist who frequently contributes to the New York Times Magazine, has attempted to address the trend of processed food over home cooking, particularly in his article “The End of Cooking?”. He expresses the need for the revival of home cooked meals through his argument on how the fundamental views and practices behind cooking has changed since the end of French Chef with Julia Child to the present. Freedman, a journalist who has criticized Pollan in his article “How Junk Food Can End Obesity,” condemns Pollan’s views as glorifying cooking, and presents processed food as the solution to creating a healthier society. He contends that creating healthier processed foods can be the key to ending obesity rather than the praised wholesome foods. Though both make compelling arguments on which type of foods will help end obesity and improve overall health [what compelling argument], neither are willing to make a compromise or

Because of passion with cooking and dream to be a chef, I have read a lot of cookbooks, regional culinary books and books about famous chefs, some of them are interesting but none of them was attracted to me the most. Normally, I just found some my favorite recipes in such books. However, “Letters to a young chef”, a book contains a collection of letters which Chef Daniel Boulud wrote to Alex Lee whom worked alongside Daniel for ten years as a passionate young cook, truly brings me desire to make my dream come true as much as help me to broaden my knowledge about culinary arts.

Food is at the heart of every civilization’s culture. It brings people together and unites those of feuding factions. 14th century cuisine, played a similar role in uniting members of different estates.The type of food one ate, like many other aspects of society depended on one’s social class. For example, due to the cost, those of the second estate or the nobles would consume more meat and fish than the peasants of the third estate (History notes 1).

The upper estates often had large feasts filled with endless delights, while the members of the lower class were lucky to receive their daily ration of bread. It is interesting to note, that even though the majority

the whole novel: “the linguistic pattern of choices realizes a primitive pattern of cognition, which in turn is the key to the tragic vision of the novel.”(Leech & Short, 2001: 32) Halliday being the widely acknowledged precursor of functional stylistics, the eminent German linguist-critic Leo Spitzer (1887-1960), is likewise father of literary stylistics. In his insistence that the smallest detail of language can unlock the “soul” of a literary work, he maintains the task of stylistics is to provide a hard-and-fast technology of analysis: I would maintain that to formulate observation by means of words is not to cause the artistic beauty to evaporate in vain intellectualities; rather, it makes for a widening and deepening of the aesthetic taste. It is only a frivolous love that cannot survive intellectual definition; great love prospers with understanding. (Leech & Short, 2001: 2) A question which is often asked in this connection is “At which end do we start, the aesthetic or the linguistic?” The image used by Spitzer of the “philological circle”, the circle of understanding, however, seems to suggest there is no logical staring point. Spitzer argues that the task of Linguistic-literary explanation proceeded by the movement to and fro from linguistic details to the
