Kitchen, cooking, nutrition, and eating have become omnipresent cultural topics. They stand at the center of design, gastronomy, nutrition science, and agriculture.

This development is accompanied by crisis of eating behaviour and a philosophy of cooking as a speculative cultural technique. This volume investigates the dimensions of a new culinary turn, combining for the very first time contributions from the theory and practice of cooking.

Book Description
The Fixer: The Beginning The Fixer is a series that follows Mark Farmer in a new life. This action-packed story follows Mark as his life as he knows it falls apart and is reborn. Mark, a Special Forces soldier known to his brother soldiers as TK, The Killer, has his world turned upside down while deployed overseas. His fiancée, Katie, is kidnapped, raped, and killed by a serial killer. He comes home to find the police have a few leads but no hard evidence against the guy they believe to be the man that did the crime. In his outrage, Mark tracks the guy down only to find another girl dead. He becomes the man the military trained, TK. The cops are close, and TK has the man down in a field beating him to death. In the last moment as police approach, he shoots the rapist/murderer three times in the chest. He himself has now crossed from victim to murderer and finds himself in prison for life. Prison doesn’t go well for Mark. He won’t join the skinhead group that immediately takes notice of him. He just wants to be left alone. Shortly, he finds himself fighting for his life. With each prisoner TK kills, his sentence gets longer. All seems to be lost for Mark as he recovers from the latest fight in the prison hospital. Until a State Department guy walks in and offers Mark a new life. This mystery man, Troy Place, offers Mark a new job as a fixer. Mark refuses life as an assassin at first, but Troy quickly explains the job is much more than just that. The job is protecting America from its worst enemies, the untouchable ones. The twist with Mark’s missions is that they need to look like anything but an assassination. They can’t look anything like an American-sponsored hit. Mark leaves prison that day with a new career and freedom. He soon finds that his job will not be dull. The world is full of people that hate America and want to hurt its people and its way of life. His first mission sends him to Libya to track and kill a guy financing terrorists seeking to destroy Washington, DC. What seems to be a simple task soon turns to chaos. The series jumps from one crazy mission to the other. Each book putting Mark (TK) into dangerous situations and almost impossible missions. Mark proves himself cunning and valuable each time. Every mission has two objectives, kill the enemy and make it look like something else. It takes every bit of Mark’s training and imagination to do the job well. As he goes along, he finds friends to help him and unexpected allies when he needs them the most. Enjoy the stories.
