Why cooking matters
Cooking is considered one of the most important skills of humans, and it has helped us to further advance our scientific knowledge[1][2][3]. Cooking has made its way into many laboratories and journals, and researchers have turned the kitchen into a place for serious scientific study[2]. Collaborations between scientists and chefs have helped bring scientific knowledge and technological innovations into fine restaurants and even homes[2]. Cooking interventions have been promoted as a way to improve health, and they have been shown to have positive outcomes related to cooking skills and nutrition knowledge[3]. Recent studies have demonstrated that the method of preparation and cooking can improve the nutritional quality of food[4]. Cooking can also have a positive impact on emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment[5]. In the pursuit of personalized nutrition, it is essential to understand the effect of various cooking methods on nutritional quality and food safety[6]. Therefore, cooking has played a significant role in advancing our scientific knowledge and improving our health and well-being.
