What is cooking?

Cooking is the daily used words that everyone come across more than a couple of times on their daily life. But what does the real meaning of cooking?
The basic idea of cooking is preparing food for human consumption. The cooking process involves using a variety of methods and tools to prepare a set of ingredients so that they are digestible and have flavour. The process uses a form of scientific method and so the quantities of different ingredients and the conditions in which the food is prepared influence the resulting product. Heat is often applied to food during the process.
