Most anthropologists think cooking was discovered between 250,000 and 300,000 years ago, most likely by chance. Being scavangers mostly, they would come across singed plants and animals near sites of previous wild fires and eat them.
Serendipity probably played a role likewise with foods accidentally dropped in fires used for light and protection humans wouldn't waste the food and eat this "cooked" food also.
Early humans began to make the connection that fire makes food easier to eat (tough plants/meats) and makes them tastier as well. It also made them last a bit longer as well, which is good if you're always on the move.
Eventually, humans got the idea to perhaps stick some meat, plant or both on a sharp stick or bone and cook it. The idea would take off from there.

I would like to know why the potatoes and mushrooms sank at first and then floated after cooking.
