Cooking techniques vary widely and I'm *not* disputing that. For instance, Wikipedia also points out that cooking can occur by application of chemical reactions, such as with ceviche.\r\n\r\nAs for your hour-long salad, if I'm taking an hour to prepare a salad with 25 different ingredients, chances are more than likely that *some* of those ingredients are cooked, ergo, I did *some* cooking. But generally speaking, salads *aren't* cooked. Salads tend to be prepared raw, maybe with some added cooked ingredients, like boiled eggs or grilled chicken or beans. Does that discount the effort put into preparing it? No. But I would never say, \"I cooked a salad.\" ^(I mean, that one guy grilled some lettuce on Kitchen Nightmares, but he, uh, he forgot to clean it first...)\r\n\r\n(Also, holy heck, I went to Amazon to see if my memory was correct about a cookbook I had seen in a bargain bin back in college and I was blown away by how many microwave cookbooks there are now...
