Cooking
Cooking is the process of preparing food by applying heat, selecting, measuring and combining of ingredients in an ordered procedure for producing safe and edible food. The process includes a vast range of methods, tools and combinations of ingredients to alter the flavour and digestibility of food. Factors affecting the final outcome include the variability of ingredients, ambient conditions, tools, and the skill of the individual doing the actual cooking. The diversity of cooking worldwide is a reflection of the myriad nutritional, aesthetic, agricultural, economic, cultural, social and religious considerations that impact upon it. Applying heat to a food usually, though not always, chemically transforms it, so changing its flavour, texture, consistency, appearance, and nutritional properties.
