"She cooks the food."

[colinwsmith]

How is "Elle cuisine" not translated as simply "She cooks", unlike "Elle cuisine la nourriture" which is LITERALLY "She cooks the food"?

[Duckies5]

Only "elle cuisine la nourriture" is correct. Why are they saying "elle cuisine" translates to "she cooks THE FOOD"?

[Sitesurf]

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")

Great then! We're all here to learn right?
PS: I didn't know it either :)

[Bee1994]

Elle cuisine is a valid answer. Really?

[Sitesurf]

If you read the whole thread, you will see that "cuisiner" means "cooking" in the sense of "preparing a meal"
