Preparing, Cooking, presenting and serving of food is known as culinary and culinary arts simply means the art of culinary. Cooking previously known as a gender role has been formed into a profession socially accepted for all genders and nationality. It is a respectable job and people can earn a fortune from this industry.
Culinary arts focus on small details and changes in a food. Masters in this art are given Michelin stars. Michelin stars is a rating system which focuses on the hospitality, cleanliness, food and overall changes of a restaurant. (Currently there are only 2,651 restaurants who possess at least one of these stars). These stars are very hard to get and you can lose them if your cooking standards decrease but the people who have a single Michelin star have a great upper hand in the cooking industry. Culinary artists also known as chefs or cooks are responsible for obtaining these stars. Chefs are the people who perform culinary arts as a profession. They are trained individuals and can make anything seem good and delicious. Some of the culinary artists are also celebrities and have their own cookbook, tv shows .etc These cookbooks and tv shows inspire many other young people who want to cook but are unsure if culinary arts is a safe profession to pursue as culinary arts isn't the safest option to pick due to the high increase in competition in this field. In my view anyone can cook if they have the right techniques and ingredients but an individual should have creative thinking and experience to tackle the problem because culinary art is an unexpectable place where the smallest of details matter and people need high amounts of skill and practice to master.
In conclusion, cooking is not a gender role and if we still think it is, we clearly should come out of our stereotypical mindset and learn the fact that cooking is not just a skill but it also is an ART.
