According to the Family Magazine section of Saed News, cooking is both a skill and a technology for preparing food. A person who cooks is called a chef. Although cooking is a daily activity essential for providing energy and satisfying hunger, it is also considered an art. It draws on knowledge of ingredients, the art of seasoning (marination), baking, sauces, and more—each of which, when executed with creativity and skill, reflects the talent of a master chef.

Cooking and cuisine form a vast part of every culture. Even in large countries like Iran, each ethnic group has its own distinctive culinary traditions. Some cooking styles are rooted in culture and even historical conflicts. For example, according to historical records, pizza was once prepared during the wars between Iran and Greece, cooked on warriors’ shields using available ingredients and rustic cheese.
