The first man who cooked his food, instead of eating it raw, lived so long ago that we have no idea who he was or where he lived. We do know, however, that for thousands of years, food was always eaten cold and raw. Early peoples who lived in hot regions could depend on the heat of the sun to cook their food. For example, in the desert areas of the southwestern United States, the Indians cooked their food by placing it on a flat stone in the hot sua They cooked pieces of meat and thin cakes of corn meal in this fashion.
The Bible tells us that the Jews were skilled cooks. The Book of Genesis, for instance, relates the story of Rebecca, who put food in a pan and placed it over burning charcoal. The Jews also knew the art of baking at an early point in their history. Carvings left by the ancient Jews show dough being put into a small round oven to be baked.
In the troubled times of the Middle Ages, trade between countries dwindled. People lived on what they could grow in their gardens or bring back from the hunt, and the food they ate was simply prepared. Beans and turnips were the main vegetables eaten in Europe, and honey was used to sweeten food. The manuscripts of the Middle Ages tell us that boiling and broiling were the two most common methods of cooking. Bread was baked in the homes of rich people or in public bakeries, but the common man had no oven in his home. People killed their livestock, hoping to preserve it through the winter by salting it. However, salt was expensive and people did not always use enough of it to keep the meat from spoiling.
It was not until the nineteenth century that the masses of people in Europe changed their ways of cooking. This change took place because the cast-iron cooking stove was invented. Until the stove came into use, fireplaces and spits had been in general use; sometimes a baking oven had been built into the sides of the fireplace. In northern Europe, stoves had been used for several centuries for heating. However, it was a long time before a stove was developed that would cook and bake, as well as heat.
Our methods of cooking have not changed very much in the last century, but we do have better equipment that makes cooking easier and more convenient. With modern standardized measures, we can follow recipes exactly and produce successful dishes more often. [br] Cooking today is simpler because we______.
