How different is the food preparation now from before?

hi neeli, now the tastes of the people are changed every body wants a different tastes in food,(except me)so many varieties are in the market for food lovers...good day

iT IS THE SAME AT MY HOUSE. i STILL COOK FROM SCRATCH like i always have. All those quick things are not as good i don't think & they are alot more expensive.

I first started getting into heavy duty cooking over thirty years ago, and started by self-teaching myself French style cooking. Then as now, I've never used the conveniences of any appliances to prepare food faster. If I made cake batter it would be the old-fashioned way by blending with a wooden spoon or whisk, so no mixer. When I made homemade breads it truly was homemade and no bread mixer. I chop foods by hand, so no blender or food processor. I realize it would be easier to have these convenience type appliances but enjoyed preparing foods by hand

I like the way you can cook today.It is more easier to me.I do not like to cook and the faster way to me is the better way.The faster I can make a meal is what I look for. Have a blessed day.

I think now, you can buy the mixed ingredients in one pack, easy to cook for a new cooker like me.

Almost everyday I cook dinner. Sometimes breakfast and lunches. I recently moved in with my partner last year in June. I am very new to cooking on my own. I had my mother do it, and I am only 17 as well. But thankfully as a child I would spend summers and winters at my grandmothers house. We would bake and cook a lot of great very exquisite meals. I loved learning to cook as she loved teaching me her skills she learned from her Mother. But as I grew up we grew apart. Well I have forgotten a lot of what I have learned. So I had to go back in the back of my mind and find what I had learned in the past. Today I prepare meals according to the item I am preparing. I do not use microwaves. I would encourage everyone to quit using them also. It's a nuclear blast cooking meals. That's why they call it the nuker. I wouldn't eat anything after a nuke blast, I am certain you wouldn't either! :P But getting to the point. Sorry, I prepare my own meals by scratch when i cook. But I use electric beaters in the day time and if it's getting late in the night and i want to cook I would go Old School by using a wisk, spoon or fork. I love Barbequing, specially right now. Fire is a very old way to cook so many actually today still use this method! Have a wonderful day!

Yes, your are definitely right. There are a lot of innovations on the way we cook this days. Many equipments for us to use. This has certainly improve the time of cooking. But I have also noticed that there are certain foods that are better cook in the old way. Somehow using some of these modern equipments affect the taste. But well, this is the new trend and life has been so busy so and so that many people tend to be on the fast food lane.

many modern techniques are brought up these days especially in cooking... many devices, for cutting vegetables just makes cooking a very easy process...

Hello neelianoscet, I must be of the old school as still prepare meals from scratch and bake my own cakes. I don't cut corners and purchase ready meals and at the moment have no microwave for faster cooking. One thing I do cut corners on though is buying a pack of frozen pitta breads which only require a quick addition of salt and olive oil before going into a hot oven. We often have them alongside a salad in the evenings or with a tapenade dip. I wouldn't prepare them if I had to make the dough and roll them out so I appreciate the ease of buying these.

Hello neelianoscet this is checkmail and like to cook a lot myself, totally myself. Well i have improved a lot in preparing my meals from my past mistakes done.Normally i used to cook mostly by watching it or by following instructions from receipe book and always had some mistakes done in it.But now I use mine own recipies so there is no mistakes in the preparation of food.The most important tip for preparing food is use less salt while preparation as it can be added afterwards as needed.Happy cooking to all.
