House Cooking Versus Restaurant Cooking

Name: Kassem Al- Hellani House Cooking Versus Restaurant Cooking “What did you eat?”, “what will you eat?” are the expressions we hear every day, and sometimes people get confused about the options that occur in this field whether about the kind of food or the source of food. Recently, I have had a discussion with one of my friends about house cooking and restaurant cooking. Our discussion was centered on three main points which are the components of food, the duration and cost of preparing food and the atmosphere. The component of food is considered to be the most important factor in each kind of food. The same food whether it is prepared in a house or restaurant has approximately the same component. But each of the two kind of cooking uses different source of these components. For example, restaurant cooking uses any vegetables if they are cheap, and it didn’t care if they are healthy or not. Differently, house cooking doesn’t use any vegetables unless it is healthy and from known source. In addition, if some meat or vegetables stay for a long time, and they started to corrupt, people cooking in the house don’t use them because they will eat these corrupted food, and they will hold the consequences while people cooking in the restaurant use them because they can’t lose money to buy others, and they won’t eat them, and other people won’t know that they are corrupted. To conclude, food components that are the same in both cooking may be also the cause behind the differences between house cooking and restaurant cooking. People's choices of whether house cooking or restaurant cooking depends on the duration and the cost of preparing food. The cost of preparing food is the same in both cooking if they use the same components and the beneficial one. On the other hand, the duration of cooking food differs between house cooking and restaurant cooking. In the house preparing food need a lot of time because only one or two persons are working in it while in the restaurant food can be prepared in short time because there is a whole staff working in it. Moreover, house cooking requires a lot of efforts while restaurant cooking can easily prepared because some restaurants use modern machines for cooking. For example, if some kinds of food require a lot of efforts and time, people prefer to have them in arestaurant to save time, and it will be the same cost. According to these factors which are cost and duration of preparing food, people choose the suitable cooking for them. Next one is the atmosphere. When it comes to home cooking, people think of their mother and family. It brings people the feeling of warm and sweet. People prefer house cooking to eat with their parents, wife or husband, or children. Conversely, restaurant cooking gives people the feeling of high class and fancy. In the restaurant, people can be treated as the royalties. There are fantastic meals and great services, which are the main points of restaurant cooking. For example, people who work in business, or people who have meeting use this kind of cooking. As a conclusion, life depends on food and health, and people can’t live without them. For this reason, each of these kinds of cooking gives you different life because each of them has its own characteristics and features. Each one should follow a certain kind of cooking according to his life style.
