cooking styles
Ways of preparing
Cooking styles are the methods and techniques used to prepare food, distinguished by how heat is applied and ingredients are handled.
Roasting, grilling, sautéing, braising, steaming, and frying represent different approaches, each producing distinct textures and flavors.
The term also encompasses broader culinary traditions: French cooking style emphasizes sauces and technique, Asian cooking styles often feature the wok.
A home cook might develop a personal cooking style—improvisational or precise, health-conscious or indulgent.
