From the history of cooking
There is a legend about a woman who gave the name to the cooking industry. Once upon a time there lived a cook Kulin, who was a faithful assistant to the god of healing Asclepius and his daughter Gigeya. She was the patroness of cookery, which later became known as "cooking." The first paper recipes appeared in Ancient Egypt, Babylon, Ancient China, the countries of the Middle East. Some of them were found by archaeologists. Cooking in Russia began to develop in the 18th century. This is associated with the spread of catering places (cramps, taverns, restaurants).
The first “cookery notes” were compiled by S. Drukovtsov in 1779. They are remembered on Cook's Day as the beginning of the culinary era. Do not forget the works of French deli 19th century: Cremona, Carem, Escoffier. In 1888, a school was opened in St. Petersburg, where they began to teach cooking. The initiative came from Professor Andrievsky I.E. and culinary specialist Kanshin D.V.
Everyone can cook, but only a few can cook well. The cook, who has devoted his profession to his whole life, enjoys the cooking process and offers to admire the unusual flavor combinations of products. Properly cooked food is the key to longevity and good mood, since it is impossible to build cells without food.
So, if you were wondering when to celebrate Cook's Day, then know that the holiday falls on October 20. Do not forget to congratulate all the familiar cooks on this day and be sure to wife, mother, grandmother. After all, every woman is a culinary specialist!
