Im Handumdrehen Kochen - Ohne Je Zuvor Ein Ei Gekocht Zu Haben
by Prasenjeet Kumar Samanta ZubrzyckaKurzfassung Sie haben noch nie ein Ei gekocht, möchten aber die Kunst des Kochens erlernen? Dann sollten Sie das Haus nicht ohne dieses Kochbuch verlassen. Das Buch von Prasenjeet Kumar, erzählt auf humorvolle Art und Weise über die Erfahrungen des Autors während seiner Studentenzeit in London. In dieser Zeit musste er sich damit auseinandersetzen, in der Stadt Essen zu finden und die Abenteuer der wundersamen Welt des Kochens auf sich zu nehmen. Das Buch ist einzigartig, da es anders als seine anderen Bücher, dem Motto nachgeht, dass keine Frage als "dumm" angesehen werden kann. Das Buch ist logisch strukturiert und die Lernstufen steigern sich von Kapitel zu Kapitel. Sie beginnen mit Grundkenntnissen wie dem Aufschlagen, Pochieren, Braten, Kochen und Schälen eines Eis (ja, das Schälen gehört ebenfalls zu den Grundkenntnissen!). Sie lernen mit Hähnchen, Gemüse und Fisch umzugehen und steigern sich zu komplizierteren Rezepten wie Käse-Omelettes, Gemüse-Gratins, gebackenem Hähnchen oder französischer Zwiebelsuppe. Die Steigerung der Fähigkeiten erfolgt Schrittweise. Sie lernen beispielsweise zuerst ein Ei zu kochen, dann ein Eier Sandwich zu machen und steigern sich dann dazu, ein Sandwich mit gegrillten Eiern zu machen. Ebenso lernen Sie zuerst Hähnchen zu kochen, dann die Zubereitung von Hühnerbrühe und schließlich die Zubereitung von Hühnersuppe mit Mais und paniertem Hähnchen ala KFC. Einzigartig ist auch das Konzept der "Planung und parallelen Bearbeitung", welche vielbeschäftigten Menschen die Zubereitung eines drei bis vier Gänge Menüs in weniger als 30 Minuten ermöglicht. Das Buch ist nett, unterhaltsam und leicht zu lesen. Alle Bilder wurden vom Autor selbst, bei Tageslicht, ohne zusätzliche Requisiten aufgenommen. Sie sollen dazu dienen, sich ein Bild vom dem Gericht zu machen, das zubereitet wird. Ob es also ein Kochbuch für eine gesunde Ernährung, alleinste

The text is accented throughout with food facts, history and lore, and science.

Blending her experience as the mother of four with results from a survey of nearly 5,000 teens, Dr. Diane Neumark-Sztainer shows you how to respond constructively to "fat talk," counteract negative media messages, and give your kids the straight story about nutrition and calories, the dangers of dieting, and eating right when they're away from home. Full of examples illustrating the challenges teens face today, this upbeat and insightful book is packed with great ideas that will help kids everywhere feel better about their looks and make healthier choices about eating and exercise.

Image Based Computing for Food and Health Analytics: IBCFHA
by Rajeev Tiwari Deepika Koundal Shuchi UpadhyayIncrease in consumer awareness of nutritional habits has placed automatic food analysis in the spotlight in recent years. However, food-logging is cumbersome and requires sufficient knowledge of the food item consumed. Additionally, keeping track of every meal can become a tedious task. Accurately documenting dietary caloric intake is crucial to manage weight loss, but also presents challenges because most of the current methods for dietary assessment must rely on memory to recall foods eaten. Food understanding from digital media has become a challenge with important applications in many different domains. Substantial research has demonstrated that digital imaging accurately estimates dietary intake in many environments and it has many advantages over other methods. However, how to derive the food information effectively and efficiently remains a challenging and open research problem. The provided recommendations could be based on calorie counting, healthy food and specific nutritional composition. In addition, if we also consider a system able to log the food consumed by every individual along time, it could provide health-related recommendations in the long-term. Computer Vision specialists have developed new methods for automatic food intake monitoring and food logging. Fourth Industrial Revolution [4.0 IR] technologies such as deep learning and computer vision robotics are key for sustainable food understanding. The need for AI based technologies that allow tracking of physical activities and nutrition habits are rapidly increasing and automatic analysis of food images plays an important role. Computer vision and image processing offers truly impressive advances to various applications like food analytics and healthcare analytics and can aid patients in keeping track of their calorie count easily by automating the calorie counting process. It can inform the user about the number of calories, proteins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients provided by each meal. The information is provided in real-time and thus proves to be an efficient method of nutrition tracking and can be shared with the dietician over the internet, reducing healthcare costs. This is possible by a system made up of, IoT sensors, Cloud-Fog based servers and mobile applications. These systems can generate data or images which can be analyzed using machine learning algorithms. Image Based Computing for Food and Health Analytics covers the current status of food image analysis and presents computer vision and image processing based solutions to enhance and improve the accuracy of current measurements of dietary intake. Many solutions are presented to improve the accuracy of assessment by analyzing health images, data and food industry based images captured by mobile devices. Key technique innovations based on Artificial Intelligence and deep learning-based food image recognition algorithms are also discussed. This book examines the usage of 4.0 industrial revolution technologies such as computer vision and artificial intelligence in the field of healthcare and food industry, providing a comprehensive understanding of computer vision and intelligence methodologies which tackles the main challenges of food and health processing. Additionally, the text focuses on the employing sustainable 4 IR technologies through which consumers can attain the necessary diet and nutrients and can actively monitor their health. In focusing specifically on the food industry and healthcare analytics, it serves as a single source for multidisciplinary information involving AI and vision techniques in the food and health sector.
