  Growing up as a little boy I’ve always wanted to become a culinary arts top chief. That’s because I’ve been in the kitchen helping/working with my mother preparing a lot of different meals, and I found that really enjoyable that I can cook. I think that cooking/culinary arts would be a good career for me because I enjoy being in the kitchen and learning new thing about what’s in the kitchen. Another things is that I think I would be able to grow up and be able to teach other students in culinary what I’ve learned and what I’ve been taught in the culinary arts classroom.

Baking, the process of cooking food using dry heat, is one of the oldest methods of cooking. The ancient Egyptians are credited with building the first known ovens, which were shaped like beehives and made of clay from the banks of the Nile River. Later cultures introduced various technological improvements, including the Roman cylindrical oven. By the middle of the second century B.C., there were professional bakers in Rome, and ordinary people could buy bread instead of having to make it themselves. The first mechanical dough mixer, powered by a horse or donkey walking in circles, was built by the Romans. In European cities during the Middle Ages, bakers formed associations called guilds, which carefully regulated how bread was made and how bakers were trained. Outside of cities, however, most baking was done at home or in a single village
