Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide for the application of project management tools and techniques to kitchen activities. Project management is one of the hottest topics in the business world because it is through project management that organizational goals and objectives are pursued and accomplished. The same rigorous tools and techniques of project management used in the corporate world are the same that can and should be applied in the kitchen. Everything is a project. A project is everything to the success and welfare of human kind. Nowhere is this more aptly true than in a culinary kitchen. The basis of human existence is food as a source of nourishment. The primary product of any kitchen is food. Whether the kitchen is formal or informal, commercial or charitable, public or private, corporate or personal, the same desired end product is food. It does make sense that we dedicate ourselves to how to prepare food in any kitchen as a project execution within time, quality, and budget constraints. Happy cooking projects to all!

Book excerpt: This book goes a little beyond being just another recipe book. It is a recipe book with a unique twist that delves into the fun and fellowship aspects of food preparation in the kitchen. Unlike most conventional recipe books, Kitchen Physics: Dynamic Nigerian Recipes takes readers through an intellectual path of cooking popular Nigerian foods. Food and recipes bring people together. Immigrants residing anywhere in the world connect with their original homelands through their continuing connection with their respective ethnic foods. No matter how long an immigrant has lived outside his or her home country, the excitement of relevant ethnic foods still persists. Even second, third, and fourth generation immigrants still connect with their parents original home countries through the appropriate ethnic foods. This fact is very much applicable to Nigerian immigrants anywhere in the world. The purpose of this book is to provide an avenue of connectivity to the ethnic origins of readers. He or she who is connected to the food is connected to the ethnic affiliation of the food. Not forgetting home means connecting with foods from home. Food and fellowship go hand in hand in the African culture. There are facts and fallacies of food all around the world, but it is often fellowship that gels everything together.
