Do Me A Flavor
Cooking is all about the science of physics and chemistry within the context of indigenous cooking. Over the centuries, humans have learned how to exploit the natural phenomenon of energy transfer through heat for the purpose of transforming food from one form to another form to facilitate the experience of food consumption, particularly where food, fun, faith, and fellowship intermingle. The Nigerian cooking and eating phenomena are typical of what food is all about. Thermodynamics is the science of heat transfer between two objects. Heat and steam provide the beat, to which molecules of ingredients dance to create gastronomical delights for dining tables around the world. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics play direct and intertwining roles in our existence and activities, including gastronomic pursuits. To galvanize ingredients to create a marvel for the nose and the palate is, indeed, a testimony to the inner workings of science, fueled by fire, steam, and molecules. The transformation from solid to liquid and then to vapor makes physics in the kitchen fun and gratifying. This book on "Do Me A Flavor" celebrates flavorful cooking in the Nigerian culture, just like other indigenous cultures around the world. Enjoy the texts and sights of the book's contents, even if the food aroma cannot emanate from the pages of the book.

Eat: Easy, Affordable, Tasty
EAT is the antithesis to the never-ending competition for the most elaborate, expensive, complicated, and shocking dishes showcased both on tv and social media. While you might recognize Frankie from Struggle Meals, he started his career with the goal to help people who felt overwhelmed cooking at home. For a dish to be featured in this book, it must meet three simple criteria: 1) Each dish must be easy, which means nothing takes more than 20 minutes of hands-on cooking time. 2) Each dish must be affordable, meaning there aren't any fancy specialty ingredients, and what is used, is used fully. 3) Each dish must taste great; classic ingredient combinations play the nostalgia card that readers identify with. Dishes like these have become part of Frankie's repertoire of family meals that can be made over and over again and never go out of style. Frankie has put his spin on classic American dishes, dove headfirst into practical trends, and provided the context of the culinary techniques that take these dishes to the next level.

From Lady Ralston's Kitchen
Lady Carolyne Lederer-Ralston is a creative cook by nature. She rarely uses cookbooks, preferring to develop her own original, no-waste recipes inspired by diverse sources and cultures, particularly European foodstuffs. Documenting her process with meticulous handwritten notes, some dating back decades, she recreates dishes later in her 'spirit-filled kitchen'. She keeps copious handwritten notes while she cooks so she can return to the notes promptly to recreate the recipe in proper printed form. Some of her original recipes go back to the 1970s, long before "Gourmet" became the buzzword it is today.A natural multi-tasker, she balanced a demanding full-time career with preparing full homemade meals daily. Planning and organization (mise en place) are vital to her approach, as is a well-stocked pantry. She includes practical hints within her recipes, and readers often say they feel she's right there with them in the kitchen - a compliment Lady Ralston cherishes.
Smart Yogurt
Yogurt is the quickest and simplest of all the fermented foods you can make at home -- or it SHOULD be. More recent methods tend to complicate the process or make it less efficient. "Smart Yogurt" strips away unnecessary steps and identifies the most practical equipment, so your prep takes no more than a few minutes.But maybe you have special needs or goals for your yogurt. For those who want to go beyond basics, "Smart Yogurt" presents a wealth of possibilities: -- Improving taste and texture without adding to prep time.-- Adding natural flavors and colors before incubation, without interfering with firming.-- Making your own lactose-free yogurt to increase tolerance. -- Boosting your yogurt's probiotic value by starting it from scratch -- without any yogurt starter, dried "heirloom" culture, or probiotic tablets. -- Making your own non-dairy yogurt without thickeners or stabilizers.Whether you want to simplify your yogurt making, explore new options, or just understand all the ways milk can be turned into one of the world's most popular foods, "Smart Yogurt" is your guide./////////////////////////////////////////////////Mark Shepard is the author of two popular books on sourdough, "Simple Sourdough" and the revolutionary "Smart Sourdough," among others. He has made fermented foods-yogurt, sourdough, pickles, and more-for much of half a century. Mark now lives in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife and fellow author, Anne L. Watson. /////////////////////////////////////////////////"Slim but thorough . . . This valuable guide's explanations and examples will inspire both new and veteran yogurt makers." -- Kirkus Reviews, June 20, 2025/////////////////////////////////////////////////CONTENTSGetting StartedYogurt Facts and FictionsMinimizing PrepOptimizing OutputImproving Taste and TextureAdding Natural FlavorsReducing IntoleranceBoosting ProbioticsAppendix: The Non-Dairy Option/////////////////////////////////////////////////GETTING STARTED (excerpt)Let's handle a few basic questions up front.Why eat yogurt? It's a tasty food that's both healthful and satisfying. It has all the nutrients of regular milk and more, in a form that may be digestible even for those who cannot otherwise tolerate dairy. Most yogurt also contains live bacteria that can be beneficial to gut health.Why make your own? One reason might be saving money. The cost of homemade yogurt could be as low as a quarter of the cost of store-bought. And it's never likely to rise above half, even if you splurge on premium milk. Another reason might be to avoid commonly added ingredients like thickeners and stabilizers. You might also want a specialized yogurt that's hard or impossible to get commercially -- a yogurt with even richer taste, or with lactose more heavily reduced, or with greatly strengthened probiotics.Why not make your own? There are good reasons here too. Most home recipes are exacting and time-consuming. And in the end, you may wind up with a product you like less than commercial yogurt, with little or no added health benefit. I stopped making my own yogurt for years, because it didn't seem worth the effort. Eventually, though, my experiments convinced me otherwise -- and led me to write this book. Here I hope to put to rest your reasons against and strengthen your reasons for, while also exploring possibilities that might be entirely new to you.

After all, if you're serving food outdoors, portable and handheld things like burgers and sandwiches are the utmost in casual, laid-back convenience.
