French language Q&A Forum

Mildly thrown off, and it's actually only related somewhat, but one of the questions I was asked was "You were going to make soup, but then..." and what threw me off was I attempted to use cuisiner instead of faire, as I thought that's what you used in regards to making food, but the answer used faire? Or is that just specific dishes and general types of food use faire?

Are we supposed to use definite articles with adorer,Aimer, detester and préférer verb instead of partitive articles?

J'aime les fruits 

J'aime des fruits 

Which one is correct?
