Cookery

Cooking involves preparing food using heat methods like baking, boiling, frying etc. The first cooking was done by early humans who discovered meat cooked over a fire was easier to digest. Geography, agriculture, culture and traditions influence eating habits. Cooking kills harmful bacteria through sterilization and allows food to be preserved longer. Economic conditions also impact what food people can afford. The overall aim of cooking is to make raw foods palatable, digestible, edible and nutritious using heat.
