Cooking or cookery is the art, technology and craft of preparing food for consumption with the use of heat. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world, from grilling food over an open fire to using electric stoves, to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions and trends. The ways or types of cooking also depend on the skill and type of training an individual cook has. Cooking is done both by people in their own dwellings and by professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food establishments. Cooking can also occur through chemical reactions without the presence of heat, most notably with ceviche, a traditional South American dish where fish is cooked with the acids in lemon or lime juice.

Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans. Some anthropologists believe that cooking fires first developed around 250,000 years ago, although there is evidence for the controlled use of fire by Homo erectus beginning 400,000 years ago.

The expansion of agriculture, commerce, trade and transportation between civilizations in different regions offered cooks many new ingredients. New inventions and technologies, such as the invention of pottery for holding and boiling water, expanded cooking techniques. Some modern cooks apply advanced scientific techniques to food preparation to further enhance the flavour of the dish served.

I know it’s only been open a month, but this is one of the best restaurants in Toronto. At $89, a complete steal compared to the similar other high-end options in the city. Elegant but relaxed atmosphere, flawless service, and beautifully plated dishes that don’t compromise on taste.

This was my first visit to Toronto and the locals told me about Alo. Let me tell you, I am a foodie from Dallas, Texas and this place was amazing!

Definitely five-star dining. Amanda, John, Christopher, Q, Thomas and Toni. Just to name a few of staff presented the best personalities I’ve haven’t seen in a long time. The chef Patrick Kriss has truly opened up a fabulous restaurant where sophistication meets the culinary swag. I can’t say enough about this place.
