The principal point of this method is the review of cooking method to create new flavors and improved dishes from the gastronomic point of view; cooking is often done without a flame. Alternative methods,basedon the studyofmodificationof themoleculesof food,to create new flavors,but evenmorethey canoffernew andmoreadvantageousfeaturesof dishes,including itsdiet.For example it's possible cook fish in a mix of cast sugar , without oil and discovered that with this mixture halves cooking time, retainingthemoistureof thefish.
The first type of cooking has appeared with the discovery of fire and consisted inroasting directly on coals. Next method is boiling food, but not directly on the fire but in some water which was closed in animal skin, that was placed in a hole filled with hot stones. The our boiling are introduced with the invention of crockery hot resistance (about IX sec. a.C.).
The cooking on the stove was born at 3000 a.c., when Egyptians were developing the method for makeing bread.
Last method is frying, thanks to the discovery of metal crockery.

October 2010 , "La stanza del gusto" in Napoli organized an event dedicated to the Raw and Cooked of Lévi Strauss. There are four events: from raw milk cheeses, organic vegetables to meat and fish. It starts from raw to learn to appreciate the flavors do not corrupt, after you proceded with slow cocking.

Scientists have upgraded their opinion of Neanderthal cuisine after spotting traces of cooked food on the fossilised teeth of our long-extinct cousins.
The researchers found remnants of date palms, seeds and legumes on the teeth of three Neanderthals, uncovered in caves in Iraq and Belgium. Among the scraps of food embedded in the plaque on the Neanderthals’ teeth were particles of starch from barley and water lilies that showed signs of having been cooked.
The Ice Age leftovers are believed to be the first direct evidence that the Neanderthal diet included cooked food as plants and meat obtained by hunting wild animals.
1) He knew he was cooked when he saw his boss standing at the desk. (Cooked is caught or responsible for wrongdoing, as if prior to being caught, one is raw or unfinished.)
2) She had a raw talent for music. (talent is only potential, and must be devoloped)
Almost everybody in Italy, knows one of the best-known italian singer and songwriter, Fabrizio De Andrè. The success of this unconventional intellectual is due to some of his dreamful songs as “La canzone di Marinella”, “La guerra di Piero”, “Geordie” and many others. One of the peculiarity in his artistic activity was to rediscover the traditional italian dialects, a heritage of italian culture.
This song, “A çimma”, comes fron Faber’s repertory, and the lyric is written in Genoese dialect, the language of his hometown.
We choose to publish this song because it’s a “sung recipe”, a song consacrated to his favourite dish, the italian (and Genoese) “Tasca”. It’a a delicious dish, made with meat stuffed with ham and vegetables.
Here you can find the original lyric of “A çimma”, with the italian translation of this sung recipe.
Ti t’adesciàe ‘nsce l’èndegu du matin

Ti sveglierai sull’indaco del mattino
quando la luce ha un piede in terra e l’ altro in mare
ti guarderai allo specchio di un tegamino
metterai la scopa dritta in un angolo
che se dalla cappa scivola in cucina la strega
a forza di contare le paglie che ci sono
la cima è già piena è già cucita
Cielo sereno terra scura
carne tenera non diventare nera
non ritornare dura
Bel guanciale materasso di ogni ben di Dio
prima di battezzarla nelle erbe aromatiche
con due grossi aghi dritti in punta di piedi
da sopra a sotto svelto la pungerai
aria di luna vecchia di chiarore di nebbia
che il chierico perde la testa e l’asino il sentiero
Pasteurization is a process of heating a food, usually liquid, to a specific temperature for a definite length of time, and then cooling it immediately. This process slows microbial growth in food. The process of heating wine to preserve it longer was known in China since AD.1117, but the modern version was created by the French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur, after whom it is named. The first pasteurization test was completed on April 20, 1864. The process was originally conceived as a way of preventing wine and beer from souring.
As usually, from an innovation somebody else can reinvent new solutions, not always as clever as the starting innovation. If heat is good, then more heat must be better, or so the theory goes. Ultra-pasteurization is just that: heating the milk to an even higher point. This effectively increases the shelf life and stability of milk, like up to 60 days! However, it also destroys the taste, some argue...
A microwave oven, or simply a microwave, is a kitchen appliance that heats food by dielectric heating. This is accomplished by using microwave radiation to heatpolarized molecules within the food. This excitation is fairly uniform, leading to food being more evenly heated throughout (except in dense objects) than generally occurs in other cooking techniques.
The first personal microwave was introduced in 1967 by the Amana Corporation.
Basic microwave ovens heat foods quickly and efficiently, but, unlike conventional ovens, do not brown or bake food. This makes them unsuitable for cooking certain foods, or to achieve certain culinary effects. Additional kinds of heat sources can be added to microwave packaging, or into combination microwave ovens, to add these additional effects.
Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure. Because the boiling point of water increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the cooker allows the liquid in the pot to rise to a higher temperature before boiling.
Pressure is created at the beginning with boiling liquid, such as water, inside the closed pressure cooker and the trapped steam increases the internal pressure and temperature, which is maintained throughout cooking time.
An early pressure cooker, called a steam digester, was invented by Denis Papin, a French physicist, in 1679. Large pressure cookers are often called pressure canners in the United States, due to their capacity to hold jars used in canning. A version of a pressure cooker used by laboratories and hospitals to sterilize materials is known as an autoclave.
