Whole milk can be enjoyed chilled as a beverage on its own. It is also a fundamental component in baking, providing moisture and richness to cakes, cookies, and breads. In savory cooking, it forms the base for creamy sauces, soups, and gravies. It can be blended into smoothies for added body and a smooth finish. For some recipes, it is heated gently to prevent curdling, especially when combined with acidic ingredients.
