 What Is It
Basic Cookery Concepts

Cooking or cookery is the art, technology, science and craft of preparing food for
consumption. Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans. It may have
started around 2 million years ago, though archaeological evidence for it reaches no more
than 1 million years ago. (Cooking - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Cooking)

Theory of Cookery explains the techniques and technologies involved in cooking food.
It explores cooking as a chemical process that involves the blending of various ingredients in
the right proportions to produce a finished product, namely a dish that is ready to eat.

Cooking food properly helps to avoid food poisoning. Most raw foods feature food-borne
pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites and viruses that can seriously harm and kill a
human being. Cooking ensures that all the micro-organisms are destroyed, which make food
safe for human consumption (www.paranetinfo.com › learn-the-importance-of-cooking)
Career Opportunities in Cooking
The culinary arts offer a wide array of career opportunities for people with an interest in
cooking. Although training and certification adds credibility to those entering the field, it is not
essential. Numerous successful chefs and culinary professionals do not hold a formal
credential and entered the field as entrepreneurs or through apprenticeship programs. Those
with an interest in obtaining professional designations can get certified through culinary
associations. (https://careertrend.com/career-opportunities-in-cooking-13637584.html
Types
Chefs work in the hospitality industry and hold specialty positions such as executive chef,
Sous-chef and pastry chef.

Restaurant chefs can break into the business without attending school through on-the-job
training. Many restaurants and hotels offer entry-level apprenticeship opportunities where
trainees can gain hands-on experience and learn the latest cooking techniques.

In addition to pursuing apprenticeship programs, entry-level chefs can enhance their

qualifications by obtaining their certification from accredited institutions. The American
Culinary Federation Certification Program Awards Certified Culinarian designations to
qualified candidates.

numerous cooking scholarships and a certificate program for culinary instructors. ACF offers
14 certification programs including apprenticeship programs for its members.
Alternatives

Individuals with an interest in food and culture can work as food historians, in research
and travel related fields. Food historians investigate the trends and transformations in food
production and the culinary arts. They work as freelancers or consultants, and use archival
materials to recreate new recipes. Food researchers can work as curators at museums or
teach at educational institutions. Other career opportunities include working as travel guides
by taking tourists to interesting culinary destinations around the world. The International
Association of Culinary Professionals welcomes the membership of food
historians.(https://careertrend.com/career-opportunities-in-cooking-13637584.html)

What Is a SWOT Analysis?
SWOT analysis is an incredibly simple, yet powerful tool to help you develop your
business strategy, whether you’re building a start-up or guiding an existing company.
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.

Strengths and weaknesses are internal to your company—things that you have some
control over and can change. Examples include who is on your team, your patents and
intellectual property, and your location.

Opportunities and threats are external—things that are going on outside your
company, in the larger market. You can take advantage of opportunities and protect against
threats, but you can’t change them. Examples include competitors, prices of raw materials,
and customer shopping trends.
Purpose of a SWOT Analysis

The purpose of a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats framework is to

get managers thinking about everything that could potentially impact the success of a new
project. Failure to consider a key strength, weakness, threat or opportunity could lead to poor
business decisions.
What are examples of opportunities?
Opportunities refer to favorable external factors that could give an organization a
competitive advantage. For example, if a country cuts tariffs, a car manufacturer can export
its cars into a new market, increasing sales and market share. Threats refer to factors that
3
 have the potential to harm an organization.
How to Do a SWOT Analysis
1. Determine the objective. Decide on a key project or strategy to analyses and
place it at the top of the page.
2. Create a grid. Draw a large square and then divide it into four smaller squares.
3. Label each box.
4. Add strengths and weaknesses. ...
5. Draw conclusions.
What is the most difficult part of the SWOT analysis?
Opportunities – This tends to be the most difficult part. It is easier for some start-ups as it was
an opportunity that caused them to start. But for a going concern, this can be a challenge.

A SWOT analysis can help you identify opportunities that your business could take advantage
of to make greater profits. ... Conducting a SWOT analysis will help you understand the
internal factors (your business's strengths and weaknesses) that will influence your ability to
take advantage of a new opportunity.

Summary
Cookery is an art and science of preparing food for consumption by using heat.
Cookery is an age-old practice. A primitive human must have found a piece of meat or
vegetable cooked in the bushfire by chance. He must have found it edible, chewable and easy
to consume. Probably, he even must not have cooked deliberately until he knew how to create
fire.

Theory of Cookery explains the techniques and technologies involved in cooking

food. It explores cooking as a chemical process that involves the blending of various
ingredients in the right proportions to produce a finished product, namely a dish that is ready
to eat.

The culinary arts offer a wide array of career opportunities for people with an
interest in cooking. Although training and certification adds credibility to those entering the
field, it is not essential. Numerous successful chefs and culinary professionals do not hold a
formal credential and entered the field as entrepreneurs or through apprenticeship programs.
Those with an interest in obtaining professional designations can get certified through culinary
associations

Individuals who are entrepreneurial can diversify their skills by working as

caterers. Caterers plan and supervise the food service for parties, banquets or social events.
Caterers generally run their own business and must also be good at administrative duties. In
addition to being responsible for providing a menu, caterers may also be in charge of
decorations and hiring wait staff for an event. Depending on the size of a business, caterers
may prepare food on or off-premises and can specialize in main dishes or desserts.
