– Desperately needed standardization across Category:Culinary terminology, no reason to have four or five ways of disambiguating the exact same parent topic, mostly seems like a result of people creating different articles all at different times without any of the coordination usually needed to come up with the right disambiguators.
I didn't want to add the newname parameters to the temp due to the scale of the proposal, however to start the conversation I'll say "culinary" would be the obvious worst option as its an adjective rather than an actual topic-noun; "Cuisine" feels the best to me as its both the most encyclopedic and can cover a few edge cases where a topic relates to food without "using heat to make food more palatable, digestible, nutritious, or safe", though I'd also find "cooking" largely unobjectionable per COMMONNAME.
Browning (partial cooking), Curing (food preservation), and Proofing (baking technique) can all theoretically stay as their disambiguators are that much more specific, but I would argue they aren't actually necessary, they are only disambiguating from non-culinary topics and not from other techniques in the same category. I also wasn't sure what to do with Toast (food) as it can refer to both the technique and the resulting food item, a printworthy redirect from toasting (cuisine) may be the best option instead.
