What is so great about baking

Think about it. You get together a collection of bizarre ingredients, most of which you would never want to eat by themselves: flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, butter, raw eggs, bittersweet chocolate. But you combine them in the right amounts, in the right order, and you get something utterly irresistable and delicious. There are all kinds of scientific principles going on of course: oils, proteins, the application of heat changing molecular structures. To me, it is less like art, and more like magic, every time.
YUM.
