Cooking, or culinary preparation, is both a skill and a technology for providing food. A person who cooks is called a chef. Although cooking is a daily activity essential for human energy and satisfying hunger, it is also considered an art—drawing on knowledge of ingredients, the craft of seasoning (marination), baking, sauces, and more. Each of these elements, when mastered, reflects the creativity and artistry of a skilled chef.
Cooking and cuisine form a vast part of every culture. Even in large countries like Iran, each ethnic group has its own unique culinary traditions. Some cooking styles are deeply rooted in culture and even in historical conflicts—for instance, the preparation of pizza. According to historical accounts, during the wars between Iran and Greece, pizza-like dishes were cooked on warriors’ shields using available ingredients and local cheese.
