Western cooking by far is considered the more easier than Eastern cooking. This could be attributed to several reasons. In western cooking the ingredients used are available internationally and is generally used across continents and therefore access to ingredients is easier.

Even in terms of cooking itself it is far easier as relevant electrical appliances are easily available, as well as it is easy to use. Use of such appliances is certainly not a tedious task and is virtually at the push of a button. Of course certain amount of care will have to be taken in the use of any appliance but in general use of electrical appliance has become a way of life in the western world rather than an exception, due to the unsophisticated nature of using the appliances.

In western cooking culture, the vegetables are usually available world wide. Preparation of such vegetables are common to chefs in most parts of the world. Western dishes can be prepared in any part of the world to the same standards as where it originated from.

Eastern cooking culture is somewhat complex due to several reasons. One of the reasons is some of the ingredients are not available easily. However due to the diverse nature of ingredients the Eastern food is considered exotic. The varied climatic conditions ranging from the topics to the alpines, has helped to broaden the availability of aromatic ingredients Further in the East the food is so diverse that not only is there regional and country differences but also differences within the country itself. India is a very good example where there food that is consumed in the South is so very different to the food that is consumed in the North. In the North the main diet is wheat based and in the South it is rice based. In most cases, food is a marker of social and religious identity. Some embraced vegetarianism, due to Hindu philosophy and ahimsa and with the advent of Buddhism, this practice gained more popularity.

Preparation of Eastern food is also more time consuming as the masala which is a combination of spices is made by grinding them together and making a mixed powder. In the rural areas where people are not economically stable they grind manually which is time consuming as well and is also a little tedious. In the urban areas people will use grinders to make this mix.

Cooking of vegetables or meats takes much longer than it would when making western dishes.

Most chefs are comfortable in making western food but when it comes to eastern food they are skeptical as they are not able to produce the same quality of the dishes due to the reasons given herewith.
