Bake your way!

Cooking

Cooking is much more than knowing how to make the usual dishes or to be able to feed one self.

This art is much more varied and complex and is always open for innovations and additions.

Cooking or cookery is the art, technology, science and craft of preparing food for consumption. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the planet, from grilling food over a fire to using electric stoves, to baking in various forms of ovens, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions and trends. Cooking is completed both by people in their own dwellings and by professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food establishments. Cooking may also occur through chemical reactions without the presence of warmth, like in ceviche, a standard South American dish where fish is cooked with the acids in lemon or juice.

Some modern cooks apply advanced scientific techniques to food preparation to further enhance the flavour of the dish served.

However, cooking is sub divided into many categories one of which is baking.

Baking

Baking may be a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, normally in an oven, but also can be worn out hot ashes, or on hot stones. The foremost common baked item is bread but many other varieties of foods are baked. Baking is often combined with grilling to provide a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the opposite. Baking is expounded to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is comparable to it of a smoke pit.
Because of historical social and familial roles, baking has traditionally been performed  by women for day-to-day meals and by men in bakeries and restaurants for local consumption. When production was industrialized, baking was automated by machines in large factories. The art of baking remains a fundamental skill and is vital for nutrition, as food, especially breads, are a standard and important food, both from an economic and cultural point of view.

The market

Baking, as a branch of cooking is also rapidly excelling as a profit making business all around the globe.

In Pakistan, we have experienced in recent years that new trend of baking has spread vastly.

Customized cakes, customized cupcakes, new form of breads or variety in the traditional rolls and samosa. People are getting familiar to all these new trends and they are moving from near bakeries to experts.
