GENERAL CULINARY ART
In ancient times,Hunters and fishers of the woods inhabited our world. They were, faced with spoilage and stability problems.For hundreds of thousands of years the evolving human race ate food raw, but at a certain point in time between 1,400.000 BC and in 500.000 BC, they applied fire.
Today, there are evidences concerning their arrow points and the fish traps used to catch them. For the hunters, fishers and gatherers, plant food and fish were important part of their daily diet. The ancient people had good knowledge of edible roots and fruits .Their settlements give evidence of seeds of fruits. Raspberries (Rubus idaeus), dewberries (Rubus caésius), and wild strawberries and apples were rich in vitamins.
The ancient people ate wild strawberries and wild raspberries. Growing corn and keeping livestock emerged ,later in our human development and adopted world wide. Millets, peas, onions and tomatoes were commonly used.
Today, we survive on foodstuffs that are more sophisticated. Will Keith Kellogg founded the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906 thus, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.

Food is the means by which people discover the culture of other people. What people eat and drink, how people obtain it, how and who prepares the food, who sits at the table and how people arrange themselves on the floor or on the table ,define the culture of people. Who shares the food amongst them, and who prays before eating are, important factors defining culture. What do people eat with?, hands, chopsticks, folk and knives or something else?. People often carried their own knives and spoons .Forks were not considered standard utensils in Medieval European culture. On the whole, the foodstuffs enjoyed in sixteenth-century England were almost the same as those of the medieval period. Roast or boiled meat, poultry, fish, bread, ale, wine and to a much lesser extent, fruit and vegetables. These, formed the basis of the diet of the upper classes. Today, every culture enjoys fruits and vegetables. The culinary art of Italy during the Renaissance was one of innovation. It was said to have been a complicated time.
Martino is said to have been one of the first cooks to use sugar in large quantities to make dishes that are specifically sweet, such as fritters, almond paste cookies, and sugared apples, rather than treating it as a seasoning.
His most remarkable talent was his subtle ability to combine old and new ingredients. It was the most noticeable aspect of his art, an individual characteristic which made him the first personification of a modern culinary cook. He demonstrated sophisticated artistry, to know when one drop of oil added flavour but ,two drops ruined a dish, and also that different cuts of meat manifested textural differences that required specific methods of cooking. He maintained that closeness to regional sources was often synonymous with quality. He advanced a theory that when one is in Rome one should cook the unusual varietals of Roman broccoli; when in Lombardy, the unique species of pike found in Lake Garda. Salt, pepper, mustard, relish, or a similar substance added in small amounts to food, usually at the table, improves or adjusts its flavour than when they were in their natural state.
