cooking

My favourite hobby

Cooking is often called both an art and a science because it combines creativity with precision. On one hand, it’s artistic—you can experiment with flavors, textures, and colors to create something that looks and tastes amazing. On the other hand, it’s deeply scientific, involving chemistry and physics in every step. For example, when you bake bread, yeast feeds on sugar and produces carbon dioxide, which makes the dough rise. Even something as simple as browning onions involves the Maillard reaction, a chemical process that transforms flavor and aroma. What makes cooking truly fascinating is that no matter how much science is behind it, every cook can add their personal touch, turning the same recipe into something completely unique.
