make the dish vs cook the dish

Both 'make the dish' and 'cook the dish' are correct, but they are slightly different in meaning. 'Make the dish' is more general and can refer to the entire process of preparing a dish, including cooking, while 'cook the dish' focuses on the act of preparing the dish by applying heat. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the overall process of making food or the cooking aspect.
