I have been thinking about what to write in my blog other than recipes, then I realised that there is much more about food then just recipes. In fact it is in itself a separate field of knowledge & learning. As it fulfils one of the elementary needs of human being, culinary science evolved from the times when species began to exist.
Foundation of food science were established much before fire was discovered or wheel was carved from wooden log. In fact it won't an exaggeration to say that culinary science is the mother of all sciences, every other science evolved from this basic form.
Every nation has its different & diverse culinary history which has evolve over a period of centuries. This evolution is base on type of agricultural practices, topography, climate, cultural factors, sociopolitical factors & availability of other raw materials like fuel. Just like other science it is also dependent on experiments by local cook & keeping the record of their recipes.
Precise measurement, adequate temperature, exact time are some of the factors that make food science like other sciences.
