The increased risk was separate from other traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as smoking or high blood pressure. Sitting in front of the TV isn't the only concern. Any extended sitting â such as behind a desk at work or behind the wheel â can be harmful.
A chef is a highly trained and skilled professional cook who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation of a particular cuisine. The word chef is derived (and shortened) from the term chef de cuisine (French pronunciation: â[ÊÉf.dÉ.kÉ¥i.zin]), the director or head of a kitchen. Chefs can receive both formal training from an institution, as well as through apprenticeship with an experienced chef.
A cuisine (/kwÉªËziËn/ kwi-ZEEN; from French [kÉ¥izin], in turn from Latin coquere to cook) is a style of cooking characterized by distinctive ingredients, techniques and dishes, and usually associated with a specific culture or geographic region. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. Religious food laws, such as Hindu, Islamic and Jewish dietary laws, can also exercise a strong influence on cuisine.
