In chapter thirty-two of the kitchen as laboratory, César Vega and David J. McClements discuss what it means to cook from scratch in the context of modern society. Vega begins the chapter by introducing the topic of the importance of knowing where our food comes from, and how it is modified into the ingredients we know today. Although consumers should know where their food comes from, Vega and McClements claim that the consumers should also educate themselves about the process of how food is transformed to provide a better understanding of their food. The authors cite Michael Pollan, an author who writes primarily about food. Pollan claims that consumers should purchase food with a limited number of ingredients, or ingredients that are easy to identify. The authors disagree with Pollan’s point, citing that some foods are enriched to make people healthier, and if the additives were removed there would be a impact on everyone’s health.

This has contribute in the evolution of food as there were an exchange of knowledge of food production, and the combination of different culture and cooking recipe could have been done.

When I was in High School I attended Atlantic County Institute of Technology (ACIT) studying the culinary arts half my school day, and the other half was spent at Mainland Regional High School (MRHS). I was offered this program due to the fact I was labeled as having ADD at the time. This vignette is not about my ADD or my horrible experience at ACIT, but about about one single month of my senior year English class. The year had whirled by and it was almost summer, but when it was time to read Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet my high school English teacher decided that instead of reading the classic play the class would watch a sub-par movie staring Leonardo DiCaprio instead.

Amanda Watson Schnetzer, a researcher at the American Enterprise Institute, identifies a deep description of the concept in “The Golden Age of Cooking” by stating “Americans today… have never been more obsessed with food, glorious food. At no other time has America enjoyed as many restaurants, touted as many celebrity chefs, published as many cook books and magazines…” (). The list continues as Schnetzer list everything food related that American is crazy for. She also analyzes the meaning of the “new American cuisine” (Schnetzer). This cuisine has been around since colonial days and changes often. There is not a set menu to American food. If a person goes to two different restaurants that both claim to serve American cuisine, they might get two completely different menus. Even though this cuisine is considered American, it pulls elements from cultures all over the world the same way everything in American culture does. This is the true melting pot of

Chefs and restaurant owners goal during the revolutionary war of French cooking was to make new and personalized dishes that were made with combinations that never existed before. Chefs and cooks while getting their professional training were instructed and forced to learn how to cook dishes that were considered standards of cooking and are now called classical cuisine. Chefs began to grow tired of making the same dishes and using the same recipe, these chefs than began to rebel against the establishment of cooking. These chefs started to experiment and tamper with dishes to see what new creations that they can

Major labor-saving technological changes of the 20th century gave rise to the industrial processing of food. In the 1950’s and 60’s we saw a rise of supermarkets and the spread of fast-food eateries. The growth of supermarkets and fast-food eateries gave way to a new method of consumption. No longer was food’s route from the local farm or ranch to the

When I watch Binging with Babish, it’s not just because I am hungry and wish I had a kitchen in my dorm room. I watch his series because I have learned naturally and from this course that food is good to think with. His attention to detail keep oral techniques that were once passed through generations and later passed through cookbooks alive through the internet. It is not just a culinary skill show such as those on the Food Network Channel, but is a way for us to examine how food makes an impact on media and vise versa. From Bourdieu’s capitals, I see Andrew Rea being rich in cultural capital. He knows a lot about a lot of things. By this I am attempting to stress his culinary skills along with his abilities, with some of the recipes, to create a dish from a particular movie or show, and that takes a lot of trial and error, food science, and culinary expertise.

The third chapter of the book called Cuisine and Culture by Linda Civitello, discussed a variety of topics ranging from the Christian diet in A.D. 500-1000, to the diet of Muslims during their Empire regien and concluded with the changes that occurred to people’s food and drink choices as the medieval times approached an end. One major points made in the discussion regarding the food and drink changes in the medieval times was the Turkish culture. Civitello mentions that the “Turkish cuisine is one of the great cuisines of the world, elaborate and specialized” (87). This statement reminded me of all the elaborate and flavorful Turkish foods, I have eaten. Specifically, one of my favorite candies known as the Turkish Delight or Lokum, comes

The Making of a Chef was a fascinating book that alternated my perspective on cooking giving me a clearer view of working through a culinary program. Michael Ruhlman gave readers a glimpse of life within the Culinary Institute of America, which is the most critical culinary school in the United States. Nothing is left to instinct or assumed information, everything is shown whether it is with culinary maths or precisely how you lay out unresolved issues for the ideal stock. Everything was just striven to be excellent, not good, nor O.K., but miraculously perfect.

I have always enjoyed baking and cooking, as a result, I often bake with my family members. This means that I do have some prior knowledge of importance of nutritional values, convenience, safety and shelf life of foods. Food Science has actually been integrated into our everyday lives, and that is what makes it so appealing to me. The food industry is one of the largest industries in the world and I am eager to be part of this important industry, researching on how to produce food that is of better quality. Research that has previously been done by Food scientists have largely contributed to the higher quality of life experienced in many countries today, as compared to that of previous decades. To work with food is a heavy responsibility as people place their trust in those who produce the food they consume. I believe that it would be of great satisfaction for me to see a food

Raymond Blanc, OBE is a French born chef who has made his career in the United Kingdom and has revolutionised modern French cuisine. Blanc was born on 19 November 1949 in Besançon, a city in Eastern France, making him now 64 years old. He began cooking when his father gave him a colander and a vegetable foraging guide for his 10th birthday and whatever he could manage to find in their garden and surroundings, his mother – the inspirational “Maman Blanc” would teach him to cook. His mother believed in cooking healthy, local, fresh produce which was “full of goodness and love” and this inspired both Raymond and his two sisters to follow with this trend. Blanc is completely self-taught and has never received official**l culinary training in any form.
