Description

The process of preparing food for consumption through the application of heat to make it more palatable/safe and nutritious, often involving ordered steps referred to as "recipes" where various ingredients and techniques/tools are used for creating specific meals. This process mainly occurs in specialised environments such as kitchens.
The type of cooking depends on the skill level(s) and training of the cook(s). Cooking is done both by people in their own dwellings and by professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food establishments. The term "culinary arts" usually refers to high-end cooking that primarily focuses on the aesthetic presentation and taste of food.
