One sentence: grammar and meaning of sense

Prepare your food in the same manner as/that you would if you were cooking in the traditional way/ sense.

Which is preferred? as or that?

Does sense work here? How is a form of cooking a sense?

Thanks

End your sentence with tradional way ; usually when you use the expression in that sense you would not be referring to your five sense, instead you would be referring to a point you made earlier in your writing. As works perfectly well as a preposition in this sentence; however, regarding the word that , sometimes its placement in the sentence is just unnecessary as it is in yours if you choose not to go with as. Empty complementizers Some analyses allow for the possibility of invisible or "empty" complementizers.

  • An empty complementizer is a hypothetical phonologically null category with a function parallel to that of visible complementizers such as that and for .
  • Its existence in English has been proposed based on the following type of alternation: He hopes you go ahead with the speech He hopes that you go ahead with the speech Because that can be inserted between the verb and the embedded clause, the original sentence without a visible complementizer would be reanalyzed as He hopes øC you go ahead with the speech This suggests another interpretation of the earlier "how" sentence: I read in the paper <how> øC [it's going to be cold today] where "how" serves as a specifier to the empty complementizer.
