Cooking means not only the ability to follow a recipe, thereby producing a successfully cooked dish, but also the ability to select materials, a knowledge of the ways in which to prepare them, an understanding of their value for the persons for whom they are prepared, and ingenuity in serving food attractively and in making the best use of food that may be left over from the previous meals, so that there will be practically no waste.
