23) [line 35] OCHEL NEFESH
(a) The Mishnah states that the only difference between Shabbos and Yom Tov is that the preparation of food is permitted on Yom Tov. This is learned from the Pasuk "Ach Asher Ye'achel L'chol Nefesh Hu Levado Ye'aseh Lachem." - "Only that which is done so that everyone will be able to eat, only that may be done by you." (Shemos 12:16). This verse excludes food preparation from the prohibitions of Yom Tov.
(b) All Melachos of Shabbos are prohibited on Yom Tov even if they are done expressly for the purpose of food preparation, except for the Melachos of Hotza'ah mi'Reshus li'Reshus (transferring objects from one domain to another) and Hav'arah (transferring flames), which are necessary for food preparation. Since these Melachos were permitted for the purpose of food preparation, they were also permitted for any purpose. (RAMBAM Hilchos Yom Tov 1:4)

24) [line 35] MACHSHIREI OCHEL NEFESH - actions performed as preparation for cooking food on Yom Tov (or for any other Melachah necessary for food preparation)
