Etymology
The word 'cookery' originates from the Middle English term 'cokery', which itself evolved from the Old French 'cuisinier' or 'cuisin', derived from the Latin 'coquinare', meaning 'to cook'. The root of this Latin word is 'coqua', meaning 'a female cook'. The term has been used for centuries to describe the techniques and art of food preparation. Over time, 'cookery' has come to encompass not only the act of cooking but also the array of skills and knowledge required to prepare various types of dishes. Its usage has expanded to include educational contexts, where it often refers to formal training in culinary skills, as well as the sharing of recipes and techniques among home cooks.
