Baking is
defined as cooking food in an enclosed space, usually an oven, with dry
heat. Over time the term baking has come to encompass those items made
with flour i.e. breads, cakes, cookies, etc. The term 'roasting' is used
when cooking meat and poultry. Some countries, such as France,
have further divided baking into "breads" and "sweet and savory
pastries". Boulangerie, in French, means baker. It is the place where
breads are manufactured and sold. The name P?isserie refers not only to
sweet or savory pastries and cakes and the art of the pastry cook, but
also to the establishment where they are made and sold. The P?issier,
or pastry cook, makes hot and cold sweet things and this includes sweet
and savory pastries, cakes, sugar and chocolate work (confectionery).
