According to the Family Section of Saed News, cooking is a skill and technology used to prepare food. A person who cooks is called a chef or cook. Although cooking is a daily task to provide energy and satisfy hunger, it is also considered an art. It involves knowledge of food ingredients, the art of flavoring (marination), baking, sauces, and more—each of which reflects the creativity and skill of a talented chef.
Cooking and cuisine are a vast part of every culture. Even in large countries like Iran, each ethnic group has its own culinary traditions. Some styles of cooking have roots in cultural history and even warfare—such as the preparation of pizza, which, according to historical records, originated during the wars between Iran and Greece, when food was prepared using available ingredients and rustic cheese on warriors’ shields.
