There's a lot of chemistry involved in baking. For instance, you might be using yeast and sugar in your dish. Yeast is a type of fungi that is able to convert the sugar you add into ethanol and carbon dioxide via what is known as a metabolic pathway. Metabolic pathways are the concern of biochemistry. I suppose that you're using heat. In order to create a flame, you need a fuel (e.g. liquefied petroleum gas, wood, etc), a heat source (to start things up), and oxygen in order to produce heat, carbon dioxide, water vapor and a host of other products. The reaction itself is the subject of inorganic chemistry (and if you wanted to know how much heat was being produced, you would call upon physical chemistry to work its magic).
