How is "Elle cuisine" not translated as simply "She cooks", unlike "Elle cuisine la nourriture" which is LITERALLY "She cooks the food"?
Only "elle cuisine la nourriture" is correct. Why are they saying "elle cuisine" translates to "she cooks THE FOOD"?
the word "nourriture" does not sound well in our culture and we are more specific about the nature of the food: "elle fait cuire le repas" or "elle cuisine les champignons".
as to the meaning of "she cooks the food", "she cooks" and "elle cuisine" should be self-sufficient.

I agree with Sitesurf.
For "she cooks the food", we accept the following translations:
-
Elle cuisine. (general idea of cooking, preparing food).
-
Elle cuisine la nourriture. (or: "... les aliments")
-
Elle prépare la nourriture. (or: "... les aliments")
-
Elle cuit la nourriture. (or: "... les aliments")
-
Elle fait cuire la nourriture. (or: "... les aliments")
If you read the whole thread, you will see that "cuisiner" means "cooking" in the sense of "preparing a meal"
