   2 '''Cooking''' is the [[art]], [[science]], [[profession]], and [[hobby]] of preparing [[food]] for human consumption.  The term is often used in the narrower sense of applying heat to chemically transform a food to change its flavor, texture, appearance, or nutritional properties.
   3 Heating food has several uses.
   4 It can sterilize the food (depending on temperature, cooking time, and technique used), in addition to softening the food by turning [[collagen]] into [[gelatin]].

   6 Because eating is a universal human drive, cooking is a nearly universal cultural feature. Specific techniques and ingredients are often regional. See [[Cuisine]] for information about the many regional and ethnic food traditions.  Please see [[food writing]] for some authors of books on cookery, food, and the history of food.
