Revision of 1998 title by Abgrall and Misner
Microwave ovens are safe to use for defrosting, reheating, and cooking food. However "cold spots" can occur in microwaved foods because of the irregular way the microwaves enter the oven and are absorbed by the food. This article provides information on how to cook food evenly and safely in microwave ovens.

Abstract:
This study came about in response to the interest in, and concern about, domestic cooking and cooking skills that has arisen in recent years. It critically reviews the current state of thinking about cooking and cooking skills, provides a critique of both popular and academic discourse and proposes new opportunities for policy and future research. With little existing empirically acquired knowledge and no theoretical convention for the study of cooking and cooking skills, the primary research was designed to be exploratory and to provide systematically researched insights and understanding. It took a qualitative approach in order to provide intricate detail about people's domestic cooking practices, the skills they use, and their beliefs and opinions about cooking in the home and a systematically researched understanding of these aspects of cooking. The findings revealed that "cooking skills" could be seen specifically as the skills of domestic cooking (as opposed to those of professional cooking) and as either "task centred" (the skills involved in a particular task) or as "person centred" (the skills of an individual carrying out a task in a particular context). They also revealed that the informant's (domestic) "cooking skills" consisted of many different types of perceptual and conceptual skills as well as mechanical skills and academic knowledge. The findings revealed that the informants had very individual approaches towards domestic cooking but that there were many beliefs and opinions that they shared. The research also found that there was a complex "interrelationship" between the informants' domestic cooking skills, their approaches towards domestic cooking and their domestic cooking practices and food choice. The findings of this study provide an additional and different perspective of the relationship between domestic food provision, cooking and cooking skills allowing the development of relevant debates and concerns. They clarify that cooking skills are an influence on food choice but show that this influence is complex. They challenge current theoretical explanations of the impact of technology on domestic cooking and food provision, for example, and the deskilling of the domestic cook.

Wang, Hong. "Study of Chinese household cooking practices : energy and cooking fumes." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/43499/.

Abstract:
First, this research has attempted to identify the underlying reasons for high Chinese family cooking energy consumption. Second, this research has tried to identify ways of reducing Chinese kitchen cooking fume pollution. The literature review indicated that, although cooking energy takes one of the largest proportions of residential building energy consumption, previous studies in this area have not been enough. The published knowledge found indicates that urban residential buildings takes 1/4 of the national building energy consumption (excluding heating). This portion has grown continuously since 2001 in terms of energy consumption intensity (kgce/m2). Among household energy (excluding heating), cooking, home appliances and lighting are the three largest energy end users. Although the increase in cooking energy is low, partially attributed to wide adaptation to gas cooking fuel instead of coal fuel in China, it still takes the largest household energy consumption: 31% in 2011. Many research papers report different results based on field measurements of household energy end users, some of which show conflicting results. However, the literature review has confirmed that in China cooking energy consumes the second-largest amount of household energy after space heating. The literature review also pointed out that, although compared with Western counterparts, Chinese residential buildings consume less national energy, cooking takes a large percentage of household energy. A further literature review showed little valuable information underpinning the reasons for high cooking energy use in Chinese households. Some overseas research papers give hints regarding cooking energy and cooking techniques, cookware, and occupant behaviour. However, the difference in food culture traditions has led to a greater difference between Western and Chinese cooking techniques. Compared with Western countries, Chinese hot dishes require a greater number of cooking techniques. In order to find out more details of cooking energy and fume generation in real Chinese home kitchen conditions, the author used a series of research methodologies to measure and test home energy and cooking fume concentration. The results reconfirm that cooking energy is the second-largest home energy end user after space heating, along with other findings. These other findings include: • The four largest energy end users in northern Chinese households are space heating, cooking, hot water and entertainment. • Hot water, lighting and entertainment energy consumption have clear seasonal characteristics i.e., daily consumption is low in summer and high in winter. This is because of the colder weather in winter (demanding more energy to heat water) and longer nights in winter (with a longer indoor entertainment time and a greater requirement for lighting in the evening). • Daily cooking energy consumption in a given family is almost fixed, although the difference between different families is large. This could lead to further study on the underlying reasons for the difference between families. The most important finding in the research is the discovery of the relationship between home cooking energy and family life cycle. A strong relation was observed between these two factors. This was confirmed by the measurement of the test families as well as the survey of 70 random selected families. The relation is, therefore, denoted as the CookEUI (cooking energy use intensity) of the different family life cycles. Following the data analysis and survey, it was also found that the cooking energy for a certain family life cycle was constant, i.e., locked in an FLC stage until the stage changed. Finally, a database was built into the IES energy simulation using figures found in the research. This represents significant progress in home energy study. Before discovering cooking EUI, cooking energy in most pieces of energy simulation software was treated as a process load with a constant figure. A literature review of a large number of research papers concluded that cooking fumes have an adverse impact on people’s health. In China, a typical housewife spends about 4 hours in the kitchen every day, preparing and cooking meals. A comfortable and healthy cooking environment is critical for cooks’ health. It was also found that COF emissions in Western and Chinese kitchens differed largely in mass concentration. Cooking method, cooking oil and cooking temperature all contribute to the difference. Many other researchers have investigated the details of hood systems and their construction features in order to understand their efficiency in removing cooking fumes. However, most of the research has been based on commercial kitchen application. There is very little research on home kitchen hood efficiency. Research also points out that natural ventilation in the kitchen space has a certain amount of influence on the capture efficiency of an exhaust system. For example, opening the door is more efficient than opening a window. In this research, the measurements of kitchen PM2.5 and PM10 were carried out in real home kitchen cooking conditions. The relation between PM2.5 and PM10 emissions and different Chinese cooking methods was measured. It was found that deep frying and stir frying discharged the most PM2.5, while boiling emitted the least. A typical PM2.5 discharging pattern in Chinese cooking was observed. The pattern showed a sharp increase in PM2.5 concentration in the beginning at breath level with a drop afterwards because of the using up of cooking oil or the rising of water steam to a higher level. A small sub-surge was observed after the first selection because the downward flow of cold air brought high-level PM2.5 down to breath level. A very interesting finding observed when using tracer gas to measure kitchen cooking hood efficiency was the large difference between the airflow rate listed on the kitchen fume hood nameplate and the airflow rate measured in real kitchen conditions. On the nameplate of the cooking hood, airflow was rated as 800 m3/h at medium speed, while in the tracer gas testing the flow rate was a maximum of 175 m3/h when all the kitchen windows and the door were open. This finding reinforces the experiment conclusion by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for the seven representative devices they tested, whereby, according to Chen (2012), the capture efficiency varied from less than 15% to more than 98%. Identifying the airborne moving characteristics of PM2.5 can be used to help redesign ventilation systems for Chinese home kitchens. The traditional way of enhancing cooking fume removal efficiency is to increase the fan discharge pressure head. This leads to increased energy consumption. It also has less effect on removing PM2.5 particles, since, unlike PM10, PM2.5 is affected by airflow rate more significantly than air velocity. The proposed new ventilation system is intended to treat PM2.5 and PM10 separately. PM10 will be removed by the filter in recirculation devices and PM2.5 will be exhausted by a direct venting fan with replacement air. In this way, less energy is used and the system is more efficient at removing kitchen PM2.5.

Abstract:
Graduate school has been a time of travel through experimentation. The journey has almost always been a search for materials and sources that match my need for working with the self-referential narrative within the framework of a process. Repeatedly, I would venture out and turn back, only to venture out again, packed with new materials and image sources, in search of a complete process. In retrospect, there have been no dead ends, only quenched curiosities that sometimes cleanly, often clumsily, lead one to the other. What is left is a series of explorations from which I can pluck similarities, clues to my core interests and methods. In the end, I believe I have found a place of clarity, where interests and process converge.

Abstract:
This report studies the importance of solar cooking when moving towards a more sustainable and egalitarian future. The problems regarding its implementation, in fact, technological, social and economic problems, are presented. A historic overview is offered as well as the theory behind the technology. After studying the current situation concerning cooking, different devices have been analysed and considered, from small ones suitable for households to bigger ones for institutions. Furthermore, several backup systems are also proposed aiming to obtain an ideal Integrated Solar Cooker (ISC). Possible hybrid systems have also been evaluated during the work. Furthermore, state-of-the-art technology in Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is also commented and taken into account for the most efficient combination of technologies. Several photovoltaic kitchens are mentioned in this report as well. Two main conclusions have been drawn: trying to solely rely on the sun is a mistake and the ideal and universal ISC does not exist. Other factors besides the income are determinant when choosing an energy source, therefore, a thorough investigation in every particular case is completely necessary for a successful implementation of an ISC. However, the countless devices available make the adoption of solar technology possible in every situation, helping to achieve some of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Oates, Christopher G. "Soya/alginate interactions in extrusion cooking." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 1988. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/11161/.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous work has shown that following the inclusion of alginate high in mannuronic acid there is a reduction in the viscosity of soya melt during extrusion, this work attempts to identify the mechanism for this effect. The effect of water content and hydrocolloid inclusion on the denaturation behaviour and water binding properties of soya protein has been investigated, mainly by the use of differential scanning calorimetry. Of a range of parameters investigated, transition onset temperature and enthalpy, change in specific heat function and coopertivity of the transition all show a dependence on initial moisture content. These parameters are all changed if soya is heated in the presence of a high mannuronic acid alginate. With the exception of changes in enthalpy these effects are not seen to the same extent with other added hydrocolloids. These changes have been attributed to the production of water during heating. Measurements of freezable water and sorption isotherms suggest that alginate addition increases the water binding ability of soya isolate after denaturation. When heated at high temperatures only soya and gluten (out of 7 proteins tested) produced measurable quantities of additional water. In the presence of 2% Manucol DM the formation of water was markedly increased in the soya and gluten samples but not in the other proteins. Production of increased amounts of water after alginate addition was demonstrated to be dependent on the quantity of mannuronic acid in the alginate. The dependence of this effect on water activity suggests that it is the result of browning or condensation reactions. Glutamic acid was implicated with the specific reaction between soya and alginate, though in heated soya both loss of lysine and serine were found. Differential rates of degradation were found between a high mannuronic acid alginate and a high guluronic acid alginate after heat treatment. The alginate high in mannuronic acid was shown to depolymerise to a far greater extent. Various estimates for the molecular weight of the heat treated samples were obtained and no correlation could be found between increased reducing capability of the sample and extent of depolymerisation. Furthermore the production of volatiles that may be expected from sugar ring degradation were not found. Increased brown colour formation and water production and concomittant decreased glutamic acid content were found in soya samples extruded in the presence of 1% Manucol DM. It was concluded that the chemical reactivity of glutamic acid with alginates rich in mannuronic acid explains the well established effect of this type of polysaccharide in extrusion processing.

In this thesis, we present BakeBot, a PR2 robot system that interprets natural language baking recipes into baking instructions which it follows to execute the recipe, from mise en place presentation of the ingredients through baking in a toaster oven. We developed parameterized motion primitives for baking. The motion primitives utilize the existing sensing and manipulation capabilities of the PR2 platform and also our new compliant control techniques to address environmental uncertainty. The system was first implemented as a static finite state machine, which was tested through 27 baking attempts, 16 of which successfully resulted in edible cookies. The system was then implemented as a dynamic state machine, in which the robot estimated the world state and planned sequences of motion primitives to follow the baking instructions inferred from the natural language recipe, which was tested thorough five baking attempts of two different recipes, all of which resulted in edible cookies.

Abstract:
College students gain weight due to unhealthful food availability on campus, snacking, eating due to stress/boredom, and alcohol-related eating. The Mediterranean diet has been proven to reduce risks of chronic diseases and help with weight maintenance. The purpose of this study was to teach interactive cooking classes with recipes inspired by the Mediterranean diet to college students to give the students the knowledge of how to cook foods in healthy ways. The hypothesis is that the students who attend the cooking classes would increase the number of meals they cook on their own, as well as have improved diet quality. Participants answered a pre-survey and then attended 3 interactive cooking classes that had a theme (olive oil, whole grains, and fish). After the classes, participants answered a post-survey and 2 months later they answered a follow-up survey. 25 participants were recruited (n=10) and females (n=15), ages 18 to 28 years. 14 participants answered the post-survey and 10 answered the follow-up survey. Average meals that participants prepared each week increased from an average of 10 to 11 for post and follow-up. Although there were no significant changes in preparing their own meals after attending cooking classes, all of the participants reported that they would like to cook more of their own meals in the future.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyse solar cooking projects in Tanzania regarding their adoption and impact on development.

Biomass is a traditional source of energy in Tanzania which counts for 90 percent of the total energy use. The high use of biomass is claimed to have negative environmental, economic and health impacts. In this way, Solar Cooking seems to present an alternative solution since it does not require the use of firewood or charcoal, which prevents people from cutting trees, and particularly women from spending hours for fuelwood collection or even from spending money to buy it. In addition, Solar Cooking does not pollute the environment since it does not produce smoke. However, several studies showed that decades of efforts to implement and improve solar cookers for developing countries have not helped to achieve the breakthrough of this technology.

The specific objectives of this thesis are to find out which factors limit/enable the adoption of solar cookers, to investigate why people decide to use/ not this technology, and to find out in which way the use of Solar Cooking could be increased. In addition, the study investigates the ways in which Solar Cooking contributes to a development. The discussion of these objectives is based on the Capability Approach and the Innovation- Decision Model according to Rogers. The study focuses on three solar cooking projects in Tanzania.

 

 

I argue that Solar Cooking is adopted to a certain degree in Tanzania but that the wider success is influenced by different factors including economic affordability, technology, social/cultural values, sustainability, infrastructure, information and the area where the solar cooking projects takes place. In addition, the study shows that solar cooking leads to an improvement of women’s perception of their own health and a considerable time gain which is mainly used for income generating activities and domestic work.

Full text
Abstract:
The Western regional magazine Sunset has been published under a series of owners and publishers since 1898. In 1928, Sunset was purchased by Lawrence Lane, a Midwestern magazine executive who transformed it from a failing turn-of-the-century, general interest publication about the West, into a successful magazine about living in the West for the Western middle-class. Sunset had always been a magazine for men and women, and one that appealed to both male and female intellectuals at the time Lane purchased it. Lane and his editors attempted to interject more rigid middle-class ideals into a magazine that had espoused ideas that were progressive and less structured. Lane's new strategy to compartmentalize Sunset's content into its four categories—gardening, the home, cooking, and travel—resulted in a magazine that was conventionally gendered. Tension due to this shift played out in the publication's new cooking department. This thesis traces the development of Sunset's cooking department between 1928 and 1938 under the direction of its creator and founding editor Genevieve Callahan through the examination and analysis of Sunset cooking features and oral histories. The original department, structured to model a middle-class domestic ideology, did not accommodate all of Sunset's readers. The Western intellectualism of pre-Lane readers and their tendency to be less bound by conventional gender roles in the kitchen carried over into Sunset's cooking department via reader recipe contributions. These Western cooks included men and women whose foodways deviated from that of the typical middle-class housewife. Callahan experimented throughout the cooking department's first decade by shifting its editorial framework and softening her home economics rigidity to create a department that was inclusive of women and men who cooked both inside and outside the kitchen. The changes made to the department over that decade illustrate how editorial experimentation reconciled a new middle-class-oriented cooking department to accommodate Western cooks less apt to model traditional gender roles.

Full text
Abstract:
Cooking is a universal activity which all humans can relate to on some level. Historically, cooking has continued to connect people across cultures and time, simultaneously providing nutritive sustenance as well as socio- and psychological benefits. Medical and mental health practitioners only in recent years have utilized cooking in a therapeutic process, and most of those cooking activities available tend to focus on cooking from an occupational and nutrition-education stance. A gap in the literature pertaining to cooking and its therapeutic applications exists around the relational nature underlying the cooking process, especially as it pertains to couples. While marriage and family therapists have used a number of creative experiential modalities in therapy for years, such as art and music therapy, cooking has been especially underutilized in comparison, despite its therapeutic and relational applicability. Therefore, this study was conducted to offer a foundation for understanding how the interactions in a kitchen can highlight relational elements between people. Eight couples (16 participants) who have lived together for at least two years and who cook together often were interviewed in their homes. A constructivist grounded theory methodology was used for this study, and subsequent to data analysis, a three-part theory describing the relational components of couple’s cooking interactions emerged, called The Couple’s Cooking Triad. The theory is made up of Relationship Skills, Emotional Connections, and Languaging. Results from this study, organizing the complex interactions of couples in a kitchen, indicate further use by marriage and family therapists in an experiential therapeutic capacity.

The nutrient profile of meat and meat products make them a major protein and minerals source for non- vegetarian human beings. However, their high fat content and the saturated fatty acid profile associate them with increased risk of lifestyle diseases and occurrences of cancers. Researchers have focused on fat replacement and fatty acid profile modification without compromising the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of meat products. Leaner ingredients are expensive hence the use of low/non-calorie adding ingredients such as water, vegetable oils and oat bran. In this study, three pineapple dietary fibres (PDF), NSP 60, NSP 100 and NSP 200 with water binding capacities (WBC) of 1: 8; 1: 7.4; 1: 7.8 (g/g), respectively, were assessed for their WBC in species sausage at levels 0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%. Water was added in accordance to the specific WBC capacity of the fibres, replacing pork back fat. The WBC of the fibre in the meat emulsion was assessed by extracting the loosely bound fluid by centrifugation. Fibres NSP 100 and NSP 200 proved to be of better water binding than NSP 60 which had the highest total expressible fluid (TEF) at all levels. Although differing significantly in WBC at all levels, all the fibres excellently bound water at 1% level. The three PDF (at 1% level) were then assessed with regard to chemical, physical, and textural attributes in species sausage. Proximate analysis showed that the control sausages (no fibre), differed significantly from the sausages containing PDF. Emulsion stability analysis was based on TEF, cooking loss and purge. Sausages containing NSP 200 PDF did not significantly differ to the control in terms of TEF and cooking loss. Sausages containing NSP 100 had the lowest cooking loss although not significantly different to the control and NSP 200 containing sausages. NSP 60 PDF performed significantly poorly in terms of TEF and cooking loss. The control had a significantly lower purge comparing to sausages containing which were not different. The pH value of the control was significantly higher than the samples containing fibres which also differed from each other. Inclusion of fibre in the species resulted in a significant increase in lightness, hue and chroma as compared to the control. Textural parameters for the control were significantly higher than the fibre containing sausages, except for cohesiveness which was similar for all sausages. This study concluded that NSP 100 could be the most suitable for use in species sausage, followed by the NSP 200 and lastly the NSP 60. Addition of PDF, in combination with water to a species sausage can be a viable way of cutting costs since the formulation cost of all the fibre containing sausages was lower in comparison to the control. Fibre and water addition can be a positive means of reducing the lipid fraction in sausages and other meat products, increasing the dietary fibre component and hence improving the health status of meat product consumers.

Abstract:
This work explores the complex relationships between women, food, and power. Engaging the literature of feminist food studies allowed me to record the narratives and examine the experiences of women living in the United States. I take a close look at how women solidify and strengthen their social relationships to family and community through the use of food, or compromise and weaken these relationships through the denial or refusal of food, in the form of cooking or eating. I also consider both local and global contexts for understanding food, in terms of consumption and chores. Finally, I demonstrate how imagery of food allows women to participate in processes of commodification and fetishism.

This is a Critical Design project that focuses on E-number additives in food. The aim is not to criticise the use of these additives, but rather to encourage consumers to question the industries that use them. This project is based on research in the purpose and manufacturing of additives. The research has been collected and used as a base for a cookbook. The book is a collection of fictional recipes and descriptions of additives based on industrial production of E-number additives. Chemistry, contrast and structure are the key focus in the graphic design work. The resulting publication is a conceptual work and will need further development before it can be considered complete.  Detta är ett Critical Design projekt som fokuserar på tillsatser i mat. Målet är inte att kritisera användningen av tillsatser utan att uppmuntra konsumenter att ifrågasätta dessa. Projektet är baserat på forskning kring användningen och tillverkningen av tillsatser. Denna information har samlats och används som underlag för en kokbok. Boken är en samling av fiktiva recept och beskrivningar, baserade på industriell produktion av E-ämnen. Kemi, kontrast och struktur ligger som fokus för det grafiska arbetet. Den resulterande publikationen är ett konceptuellt arbete och kommer att behöva ytterlig utveckling innan det an anses färdigt.

Abstract:
Cooking fume have been found to be a significant component of ambient particulate matter and also to contribute to high concentrations of aerosol indoors. A linkage of individual exposure to cooking emissions with adverse health effects has been found and thus has led to the need for further understand the composition of this source of particulate matter. This study was concerned with gaining further insights into the chemical composition of aerosol generated from typical styles of cooking and the understanding of trends of the formation of particles among different culinary methods. Cooking source profile for African, Chinese, Western and Indian styles was obtained in a specially designed laboratory based kitchen. These profiles were used as input in a Chemical Mass Balance model where ambient data collected in Birmingham, UK were analysed in order to apportion the quantity of organic matter from cooking sources in the location sampled. It was found that cooking generated a significant mass of aerosol with the particle sizes largely within the respirable size range. The Chinese style of cooking was found to generate the highest concentration of particles with PM mass of 21.61µg/m3. The source profile from cooking obtained from the study were found to correlate well with each other with Indian and Western profiles exhibiting the highest correlation. When used for the CMB model runs, these two profiles provided the best output with the model runs apportioning 16% of the Organic Carbon to be from cooking, with traffic, wood smoke and soil debris contributing 44%, 18% and 24% respectively.

Learning by cooking är ett projekt inspirerat av aktionsforskning, och sammansvetsas med Kurt Lewins modell för aktionsforskning från förstudie till det praktiska arbetets slut. Projektet genomfördes på ett fritidshem under våren 2016, och under fem veckor förvandlades fritidshemmet till en restaurang. Under dessa veckor, två dagar i veckan, serverades mellanmål till många hungriga fritidshemsbarn. Personalen i restaurangen bestod av studenten själv i egenskap av köksmästare samt kockar direkt hämtade från barngruppen. Fokus var att skapa en trivsam måltidsmiljö som varierade från dag till dag, både rumsligt och måltidsmässigt, men berörde även frågor kring fritidshemmets uppdrag och fritidspedagogens yrkesroll, samt matlagning som ett pedagogiskt verktyg. I projektet upptäcktes många dolda talanger inom det kulinariska området, vilket visade sig i god mat, gott samarbete och mycket glädje. Projektet skulle leda till att restaurangen skulle leva vidare efter avslutat projekt, och bli en del av de övriga aktiviteterna som fritidshemmet erbjuder.

Abstract:
Those who eat share a relationship with design. The Museum of Gastronomy, a museum located at the Washington D.C. National Mall, would dedicate a space to a full-sense experience pursuing a relationship between food, culture, and design. The National Mall is a symbolic setting dedicated to U.S. heritage via museums, memorials, and the honoring of legacies accessible to the public. As the U.S. is a melting pot of different nationalities, this museum would fill an open niche devoted to celebrating the cultural heritage of cooking throughout the cycle of food consumption. As consumers, regardless of notice or intention, we have an intimate relationship with food as means of survival. Cooking, the method for preparing this vital element, is also an expression of culture, style, and use of available resources. In essence, cooking is an everyday design: a crucial aspect of our very survival. Therefore: food - cooking - design - survival - food - cooking. Similarly, it is the architectâ s mission to reach an effective design with available â ingredients,â forces, or kit-of-parts within a project. In the Museum of Gastronomy, the architect would become the unifying source between a relationship literally built between food, people, and design in an interactive experience. This would result in a space dedicated to showcasing and combining the concept of â cooking is designing.â Incorporating these components into a museum located at the National Mall would personify an experience of the cooking processes as a building block of every-day observation of design.

Abstract:
In 2012, 40% of Scandinavian households had only one occupant and this trend continues to grow. Daily, these households face the challenges of cooking for one: shopping and preparing small portions while trying to minimize waste; motivating yourself to spend the time to cook and then eat alone; attempting not to eat the same leftovers for too many days in a row; resisting the temptation of consuming convenient ready-meals or going for take-away. Since 1980, the amount of home cooked meals has dropped from 72% to approximately 50%. But what if there was an alternative to ready-meals that had the same convenience while providing you with the freedom, variety and quality of traditional home cooking? What if cooking for yourself could be a convenient and enjoyable experience?

Full text
Abstract:
Since the 1990s, Turkey has started to develop an extensive interest in its Ottoman past. The view of the Ottomans as "backward" and "pre-modern" that once held sway has given way to a view that grasps the Ottoman past as "open," "tolerant," and "cosmopolitan." Food is one of the areas in which Turkey's Ottoman past is negotiated. This dissertation attempts to trace the revival of Ottoman cuisine through experiences of production, representation, and commodification in Istanbul. It seeks to understand multiple discourses involved in the relationship between the past and the present, within a context where history implicates both continuity and novelty. Ottoman cuisine has developed not only as the foundation of traditional Turkish cuisine, but also as its "other." This dissertation examines the revival of Ottoman cuisine through an analysis of diverse sources, such as cookbooks, media, culinary institutes, cultural and social organizations, the cultural policies of the state, and mainstream restaurant and festival venues. Finally, it asserts that the revival of Ottoman cuisine in particular seems to feed multiple discourses of cosmopolitanism. The turn back to the Ottoman period is both nationalistic and cosmopolitan, such that cosmopolitanism is turned into a national image and a national cultural asset. As a result, the past becomes a utopian project for the future, and cosmopolitanism of the past haunts Turkey and Istanbul as a progressive image for the contemporary world.

There are many rural area in the world where cooking fuel is very scarce. One solution to this problem is to use solar energy to cook food. However most people around the world like to cook large meals at night, when the sun is not shining. The objective of this thesis was to design and build a thermal battery that could store thermal energy from the sun during the day and retain that heat until it was needed for cooking. The final battery design was a large block of concrete with a system of copper fins running though it. Three main tests were conducted. The first two utilized an array of infra red light bulbs to heat up the array, and did store enough energy to cook with. However in the third test the battery was heated using a hot plate, and after the storage period still retained enough heat to boil 20 cups of water. This is enough usable cooking energy to feed most families.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of two television cooking shows (healthy and unhealthy) among students at California State University, Long Beach. Specifically, the study evaluated the effects cooking shows have on food preferences for side dish, entrée and dessert options before and after viewing each show and by type of show viewed.

Participants were selected from students at California State University, Long Beach through convenience sampling. Willing participants completed two online surveys, each containing a different television cooking show episode along with an array of food images to select from. The cooking show episodes and the food images used in the survey were categorized as healthy or less healthy based on the nutrient profiling system, Model WXYfm.

Fifty-nine and 56 survey responses were included in the final analysis of the healthy and unhealthy cooking show, respectively. Food preferences were determined through the selection of food images in the surveys and analyzed using Chi-square tests. The results of this study show that television cooking shows promoting healthy and unhealthy foods have the potential to impact food preferences, particularly due to food exposure. Significant differences were found for five out of the nine hypotheses.

Meneses, Romero Mariana. "Women cooking art : hospitality and contemporary art practices." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2017. http://research.gold.ac.uk/20638/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the notion of hospitality in light of contemporary food-based artistic practices created from 2000 to 2015 by female artists Sonja Alhauser, Mary Ellen Carroll, Leah Gauthier, Ana Prvacki, Alicia Rfos, Jennifer Rubel I, Miriam Si mun, and Anna Dumitriu, and the experimental food artists Sam Bompas and Harry Parr. The aim is to make sense of how food practices, art, and feminism intersect, especially in light of the gendered history of the food system, including cooking, when opened onto a philosophically developed notion of hospitality. I explore the intricacies of hosting the "other", considering the multiple levels in which the relationship between the host and the guest develops. Hospitality is examined as a continuous cycle of relationships where dynamics and discourses of power and of generosity are constantly rehearsed. I focus on four main stages within the food system: 1) the gathering of edibles; 2) the cooking process; 3) the moment when food is shared and ingested with others; and 4) the digestive process. Throughout this thesis, I consider hospitality as an open structure that sheds light on the understanding of the encounters between human and non-human species-including animal, vegetable, and microbial-in the food chain. My analysis is situated within contemporary debates of gender studies, cultural studies, food studies, and philosophy of hospitality, in particular, Jacques Derrida's ethics of the other, and the imperative that "one must eat well". Eating is discussed as the literal and metaphorical assimilation and incorporation of the other, and incorporates feminist theoretical engagements which highlight Western thought as being structured by a series of gendered dichotomies, including those of nature-culture, male-female, mind-body, object-subject. I argue that the philosophical notion of hospitality and feminist theory enable a critical approach to the food system as a continual ethical imperative for and to the other.

There have been major shifts in the dietary patterns of people in the United States in the last four decades. People eat fast food more frequently, eating more convenience food products, and highly processed food. On the other hand, the practice of cooking from raw ingredients or cooking from scratch has been declining. The lack of cooking skills is one of the barriers of cooking from raw ingredients. Cooking skills are one of the important determinants of food choice. People who have higher cooking skills tend to choose healthier food options. There are many programs that aim to increase cooking skills and nutrition knowledge. One of them is done by EFNEP. Over the years, EFNEP has been helping the low socioeconomic population to reach nutritional well-being. Evaluation is an important component of EFNEP. There are evaluation tools in EFNEP including behavioral checklist and dietary recall that are administered pre and post program. However, these tools do not specifically measure participants’ cooking skills. A proposed short self-reported questionnaire is designed to measure cooking skills of EFNEP participants in Kansas. The questionnaire comprises of seven questions and has been tested to a representative group.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a comparative study into contemporary mainstream cooking programmes on British, French and German television, which explores how food and cooking are represented. Since food is an expression of identity (Corti 2012; German 2011; Montanari 2006; Scholliers 2001) this study argues that food representation on television is influenced by national culture. Cooking programmes have become increasingly popular in many countries, and recent years have further seen the emergence of a variety of formats, the characteristics of which also influence how food and cooking are represented. This study applies a multi-method research approach which explores the influence of country of production and format on food representation. While a qualitative grounded theory analysis focuses on the key functions and characteristics of the food, the cooking and the chef, a quantitative analysis explores the food groups represented in the programmes to establish a sense of healthiness. The quantitative analysis has found that 'fruit and vegetables' and 'non-dairy protein' are the largest food groups in the majority of programmes across all countries of production and all formats. The qualitative analysis highlighted that country of production is a determining factor on how food and cooking functions are represented, as the three countries feature considerable differences in these areas. The data further revealed three kinds of chef, as well as a mixed chef scenario each using one of three instruction styles. The analysis showed that the format determines the type of chef presented as well as their instruction style. It further confirms that some programmes are highly instructional, whereas others focus more on celebrity and entertainment. This study thus contributes to our understanding of food representation in contemporary British, French and German cooking programmes and its cultural significance.

Abstract:
Many environmental organisations are trying to counter the negative effects of climate change. The film- and television industry are increasingly becoming the focus of attention, because, although it repeatedly advocates sustainability, it often gets lost in its own productions. The presentation of sustainability is often not visible or clearly recognizable by the viewer. Cooking shows are often criticised by the public for being environmentally friendly in terms of food waste.The goal of this research is to determine how sustainability is presented in cooking shows in Germany and the USA. For this purpose, the following research question is asked: How is sustainability framed in the television cooking series MasterChef US and Germany? And is there a difference between those two countries?The theoretical framework is presented by the framing theory of Erving Goffmann (1974), with the use of this approach sustainability was framed in TV shows and used for the analysis and its results. To answer the research question, a qualitative content analysis was carried out, which analyses both the German and the American version of MasterChef in 2018/2019. The research was divided into indirect and direct events. The results of the study show that the German MasterChef included significantly more sustainable topics than the American one. This confirms that there is a significant difference in the cooking shows between the two countries.

Full text
Abstract:
Prehistoric and traditional ceramics contain a wide range of tempers (non-plastic inclusions), including sand, sherd (grog), sponge spicules, phytoliths (siliceous bark ash), diatomite, organic fibers, shell, calcite, mica and asbestos. The use of these materials in traditional and archaeological ceramics and their association with cooking pottery and thermal shock resistance are examined. The thermal shock parameters that are relevant to low-fired ceramics are identified and tested. The primary factor in the thermal shock resistance is identified as fracture toughness. By increasing the amount and size range of temper additions, and by selecting tempers that are platy and fibrous, fracture toughness can be enhanced. Secondary factors include porosity, thermal expansion and relative strength. These parameters are tested employing fracture energy and thermal expansion measurements, and quench tests.

Abstract:
Glutograph ?E? was designed to determine the stretch and relaxation properties of wet gluten. Usage of this equipment to evaluate the cooked pasta texture has not been reported and thus is the goal of this research. Procedure development involved the evaluation of the number of impulses, relaxation time, the number of spaghetti strands, and the number of tests per sample to give a reliable treatment mean. Different impulses settings affected the magnitude of strain, time and percent recovery. Traditional spaghetti required less time to reach 800 B.U and had greater percent recovery and strain values than did nontraditional spaghetti. Glutograph results were compared with firmness results obtained using a texture analyzer (TA-XT2) with a pasta blade or with a Modified Ottawa Cell. Compression type probe parameters were positively correlated to glutograph stretch time. Glutograph E can be used as potential equipment to detect differences in texture of cooked pasta.
