Cooking method is the basic principle.
Cooking method is the basic principle of cooking, whether it is stewed with fire or cooked carefully, it is inseparable from the application of cooking method and chemical reaction. Knife work and decoration are important, but not as good as cooking methods.
Chemical reaction is the core.
The core of cooking is the chemical reaction caused by "heating". This is not only a macroscopic experience, but also a manifestation of intermolecular interaction. Only by deeply exploring chemical reactions can we truly grasp the essence of cooking.
A recipe is an expression.
If the cooking method is regarded as the basic principle, then many recipes can be regarded as its embodiment. These recipes have their own characteristics, reflecting the personal style and creativity of different chefs. For beginners, these recipes are a shortcut to get started quickly.
