Personally, I don’t* but I was curious what others think.

*some sandwiches excluded like a Cubano or chicken parm; those do require cooking.

I don’t think it’s cooking unless you are applying heat to cause a chemical reaction. So, making a grilled cheese sandwich counts as cooking, but a BP&J does not.

Making ceviche or sushi officially not cooking confirmed - how dare those posers call themselves sushi chefs.

I think of a chef as a “preparer of food” not necessarily “food cooker”

So sushi chef is still accurate to their opinion, disclaimer I agree with them so I could always be rationalizing it.

Some of the constituent ingredients have to be cooked, but ceviches and sushi rolls aren’t cooked any more than salads or burritos. They’re assembled or prepared.

You’re ignoring the chemical process in ceviche.

Ceviche is said to be “cooked” with acid, even if that’s not the most accurate term. And most forms of sushi are made with cooked rice, at minimum, and not uncommonly with other cooked ingredients. So those things kind of muddy the waters for your point. But a clearer example may be something like beef tartare, a garden salad with a vinegarette, or sashimi. Those things are “prepared”, not cooked, because no cooking is involved in their making. Cooking is specifically the preparation of food utilizing heat. Chefs prepare plenty of dishes that do not involve the act of cooking.

Just because it’s preparing food and not cooking doesn’t mean that it is lesser.

The acid from the lime is doing the cooking in ceviche.

I agree - and it specifically isn’t doing so through an application of heat.

You can cook with a microwave, but if you’re just reheating something that’s not cooking.
