FOOD PRODUCTION
1. An Introduction
Food of an area & region depends mainly on the climatic conditions of that place which
influence the vegetation or cattle farming and the food consumed by the locals. Continental
food, on the whole could be considered as International Cuisine, particularly influencing
British, Australia, New Zealand and American food habits. These places do not have a
distinguished cuisine of their own and are also very similar in some way or the other in terms
of taste, ingredients used, spices used, flavorings, herbs and method of cooking, like baked,
grilled, stuffed and sautéed.
Regional food generally becomes popular or famous when there is appreciation for that
cuisine and then comes the demand for it for example French Cuisine, Cuisines of England,
may all be clubbed as Continental because of the similarity in their styles though they are very
different in their own way.
If ever there has been a classy cooking style, it has been French Cuisine - very old, beautiful in
presentation, may not be simple but very elegant, full of flavors. In Modern days, Continental
Cuisine has probably come to terms with a blend of all these International cuisines together
and all worth a touch of French Class. There are preparations in particulars which use the
'Spiciest of Chilies' also! Continental cuisine, in short can be categorized as cuisine involving
bakes, grills, stews and barbeques, where a lot of fresh herbs are used for flavoring and the
chilly factor is minimal though.
The cuisines of Western countries are diverse by themselves, although there are common
characteristics that distinguish Western cooking from cuisines of Asian countries and others.
Compared with traditional cooking of Asian countries, for example, meat is more prominent
and substantial in serving-size. Steak in particular is a common dish across the West. Similarly,
to some Asian cuisines, Western cuisines also put substantial emphasis on sauces as
condiments, seasonings, or accompaniments (in part due to the difficulty of seasonings
penetrating the often larger pieces of meat used in Western cooking). Many dairy products
are utilized in the cooking process, except in nouvelle cuisine.
Wines play an important role to the Continental dish as well quoted bay Sommelier of ancient
days "Wine accompanies food as graceful as the Lady is accompanied by her Man “The cuisine
itself blends well with wines which are used to cook the food.
Fern and Branded quoted, "The mere smell of cooking can evoke a whole civilization". The
aroma and culture is what we can relate while the food is on the pot. Bon Appétit!
