How does the cooking method impact so much on the actual taste of the food?

Obviously I’m not talking about what you add during the different preparations, but just about the way you cook something.

Like boiling VS roasting broccoli. Boiled broccoli smells and tastes like death and despair, but the second you roast them they’re absolutely delicious.

Or eggs, hard boiled eggs taste completely different from when they are cooked in a pan.

Or again meat, roasted meat is completely different from boiled meat even if you add little to no other ingredients during the cooking process.

Also in regard to boiling vs roasting/frying: Different cooking methods will result in foods either being more or less hydrated. Boiling something will cause it to soak up water, while roasting it will dry it out.

Different methods of cooking will also affect things like how much fat remains in the food. If you grill burgers, for example, they’ll drip a lot of fat as grease out into the grill. If you smoke them, they’ll maintain most of that fat (I’ve learned to use different %fat meats when I’m smoking burgers vs. grilling them).
