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
encompasses a vast range of methods, tools
and combinations of
ingredients to alter the
flavor or
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 natural polynormal
nutritional, aesthetic, agricultural,
economic, cultural, social and religious
considerations that impact upon it.
