I love cooking. Do you like to cook?
I do like to cook, but prefer great restaurants like Chez Panisse.
Oh I have never heard of that place.
It is located in Berkeley, CA and originated the "California cuisine" term.
Oh thats cool.
The cuisine uses locally fresh ingredients and creates fusion dishes.
Thats cool. I would rather cook for myself because then I know every ingredient used.
I agree.  Early colonists introduced a lot of ingredients that Native Americans had never heard of.
I didn't know that. I guess there are a lot of different influences on modern cooking style.
Yes, and it continued with the increase of immigrants in the 19th and 20th century.
