Cooking, cookery, or culinary arts is the art, science, and craft of
using heat to prepare food for consumption. Cooking techniques and
ingredients vary widely, from grilling food over an open fire to using
electric stoves, to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting local
conditions.
Types of cooking also depend on the skill levels and training of the
cooks. Cooking is done both by people in their own dwellings and by
professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food
establishments.
Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans. It may
have started around 2 million years ago, though archaeological evidence
for the same does not predate more than 1 million years.
