Fresh water, which can be eaten, is especially appreciated all over the world. The share of fresh water is no more than 3% of the entire world ocean. Its reserves are found in rivers and freshwater lakes. But most of the fresh water is concentrated in glaciers and polar massifs.
What are the Types of Water?
In cooking, only fresh water is used, but it is also different. If we talk about cooking, then boiled, filtered, melted, bottled, mineral and others are used. Dishes such as soups, broths, sauces, pickled and stewed products, most desserts and side dishes are impossible without it. Water is the basis for any drink. It is used for cooking, stewing, steaming, pickling, soaking and other active actions in the kitchen.
How to use Water in Cooking?
Regardless of the fact that the formula of water is the same everywhere, each variety differs in its own chemical composition. Many cooks prefer to defend water. If the water will stand for about 8 hours, then all harmful substances will settle from below, and only 30% of the water is used in cooking. Filtered water is considered to be the most useful, but do not forget to replace the cleaning system in a timely manner. There are salts in bottled water, and therefore it is perfect for use in domestic conditions. Distilled water is not used in cooking, as it is “empty” and has no useful properties.
What Does the Water Taste Like?
Pure water has no taste, however, there is almost no taste in nature. Thus, the taste of water is given by various impurities that are part of the water. The specific taste will depend on the source and the area of water extraction, and it may also have a different degree of severity. In addition, the taste of water depends on the state of the body.
This bread in Scotland used to be baked on the eve of the feast of St. Michael, on September 29, when all the grain was removed. Bread was traditionally baked by the eldest daughter in the family from the grains of the fresh harvest. A mixture of different grains was used for “Struan”: rye, oats, barley, wheat. The grains were pre-ground and soaked in water or milk. Then they baked bread, and in the morning they carried it to the church to receive the blessing of the priest, who asked St. Michael for a plentiful harvest.

I’ve never been abroad. But, of course, I would really like to. However, in the light of current events, we can only dream, and also sit in front of the TV and do “zyring”. I.e., travel together with the hosts of culinary programs from different countries (by the way, everything is bad for them too). And you can also travel through the pages of books! This is much more useful. And the first place we will go is to Alsace. A historical region on the border of three countries-Germany, Switzerland and France. Today, this territory belongs to France and is part of the administrative region of Grand Est. Little Red Riding Hood brought us here, or rather, a well-known fairy tale. Well, we load our guns and go to the forest to scare the wolves. And at the same time we will take the treat to Grandma.
I offer another quick-to-prepare dessert of bananas and white chocolate – in two versions – with strawberries and blueberries. It is radically different from the previous one: both in taste and appearance. It is not necessary to beat anything, everything is mixed with a spoon.
