    • 7 Ways Cooking and Baking Have Changed Over the Years7 Ways Cooking and Baking Have Changed Over the Years
      Cookie BakingYou must have heard from your mother how wonderful your grandma or even great grandma used to cook and bake. People have been cooking and baking delicious meals for years. Even today, some of the shops use traditional recipes for cooking and baking. Things have changed over the years and here we will discuss these changes.  Recipes You can find many new ingredients now which you can add to your recipe to make the cookie or any other food more delicious. You can now add different flavours to your cookies and cakes and add variations. In the past, we learned from our parents and grandparents how to cook or bake. Now you can find recipes online. While looking for inspiration and new recipes, you can also have some fun and play some exciting online casino games like slots on sites like Royal Vegas. Appliances and equipment for cooking In the past, people used to use their hands or normal spoons to measure the ingredients. Now there are measuring cups and kitchen scales so that you can take the measurements correctly. There are mixers, electric ovens, and other things to help you bake and cook perfectly and conveniently. Cooking classes In the past, the only way to learn cooking was to learn from other family members. Now there are institutions for cooking. You can learn to cook in different culinary schools. You can also get online cooking and baking tutorials which will help you to learn from home. There are thousands of YouTube videos on cooking and lots of cooking blogs from where you can learn. Cooking books Previously, there weren’t many cooking books available. Now you can get many cooking books in the bookstore. You can find cooking books containing recipes for different types of food. You can get a single book on one type of food as well, like baking cookies. Food habits The eating habits of people also changed. They are more cautious about the food they eat. They choose the ingredients carefully to be healthy. People who have diabetes cook sugar-free food. Those with heart problems avoid food containing too much fat. Now you get alternative ingredients also so that these people don’t miss out on anything. For example, diabetes patients can eat a cake made with stevia or another sweetener instead of sugar. Buying food You can now get baking items and other food online. You no longer have to visit a baking shop which is far away from your house to order a cake for your little boy. You can find lots of online baking stores who will deliver the cake right at your door. Cooking businesses In the past, there weren’t many homemakers who turned their cooking hobby into a money earning source. But now people who have the talent open up their baking or other food shops online. They have taken cooking to a new level. Cooking and baking are not just something necessary, it is a form of art. Professional bakers today use the cake as their canvas and stuns everyone with their creativity.  Now you know how cooking and baking have changed over the years. It is now very easy for people to cook even if they don’t have any previous experience.... Read more...

      Cookie Baking / Cookie ShopsYou will find many home bakers turning their passion for cookie baking into a business. If you are one of them then you must ensure that you have fool proof recipes to impress your customers. If something goes wrong with the taste or texture, then the customers might not buy them. Mixing the butter Butter is one of the basic ingredients of cookie baking. You should first let the butter soften; however, it should feel cold to the touch. You should mix it with sugar using a mixer for 3 to 5 minutes till you don’t feel any sugar grain when touched. The mixture should be light and fluffy. Adding eggs You should always add eggs one at a time; otherwise, the eggs will not emulsify properly with the butter to provide a perfect dough. Each egg should mix properly with the butter and sugar. Add flour in batches You shouldn’t pour all the flour into your dough mix at once. You should add flour in batches so that the dough doesn’t become hard or lumpy. If you pour everything at once it will be difficult to mix the dough. Measurement You should measure each ingredient correctly using measuring cups, spoons or a kitchen scale. If the measurement is not right, then the cookies won’t come out well. When you use measuring cups to measure the amount of sugar or flour, make sure that you level it off with a knife to get rid of the extra bits so that the measurement is perfect. Parchment paper You shouldn’t skip using parchment paper as it has a lot of benefits. You must place parchment paper on the baking tray so that it prevents the cookies from spreading. The parchment paper acts as an insulator between the direct heat and the cookies which will make the cookies soft. It will also prevent the cookies from sticking. Your baking tray will be easy to clean if you use parchment paper. These tips will help you make the perfect dough for your cookies. Make sure that you use the right temperature to bake the cookies.... Read more...
