=== Cooking Techniques ===

'''Sautéing:''' Cook food quickly in a hot pan with a small amount of oil. Common ingredients include vegetables and thinly sliced meats.

'''Boiling:''' Submerge ingredients in boiling water until they're cooked. This method is ideal for pasta, rice, and vegetables.

'''Roasting:''' Cook food in an oven at high temperatures. Roasting enhances flavours and textures, making it great for meats, poultry, and certain vegetables.

'''Baking:''' Use an oven to cook dishes like casseroles, bread, cakes, and pastries.

'''Grilling:''' Apply direct heat from below to cook food. Grilling works well for meats, vegetables, and even fruits.

'''Searing:''' Cooking the surface of ingredients at a high heat until a brown crust develops.
