The art of cooking is as old as men’s need to eat. The first cook was a primitive man who having a chunks of meat very close to fire, which he had lit to warm himself, discovered that meat heated in this way was not only tasty and had flavor, but was easier to masticate as well. From that movement, in unrecorded history involved the art of cooking and has reaches the present day level of sophistication.
