Cooking is usually associated with the application of heat in order to prepare food. Technically, cooking really refers to non-heated methods of food preparation as all.

A real definition of cooking would be that it is the preparation of food through some manner that changes its texture, flavor, digestibility, or any number of other factors. It is usually done in some planned and organized manner. This may be a very complex and ordered application of various procedures and the addition of various ingredients, or it may be as simple as throwing a hamburger on a grill over an open flame.
