Cooking is a real ‘ART’.
Every culture
has a unique food philosophy. The way we cook our food tells a lot about who we
are. Flavours develops, interests originates. Likewise, Factor in the cultural
diversity of India and we could have similar debates played out a million times
over. Palates may be formed by socio-cultural influences, but the act of
cooking itself is a spiritual pursuit. Whether one is cooking daily for loved
ones or preparing prasadam for thousands in a gurdwara or temples donning the
chef's apron occasionally over weekends, cooking can elevate the soul to great
heights. It is precisely for this reason that the experience inside a me could
be heavenly bliss.
Food is a universal necessity. But it is only human beings
who endeavour to transform food into something more. Several archaeologists and
evolutionary biologists contend that cooking was, and still is, crucial to our
evolution. Not only did it stimulate mastery over fire and necessitated
innovation in tool making, but by eating cooked food, we were able to increase
our energy output for other creative pursuits. As primitive hunter-gatherer
societies developed into more sedentary ones, cooking became a social activity.
The preparing and sharing of food came to define relationships within families
as well as in the larger community. Food became central to community
celebrations. What would Deepvali without holige tuppa , Christmas be without
cakes and Eid without kheer.
