Using tools from physics to create something that is popular but unrelated to physics is enough for the nobel prize in physics?

So, if say a physicist creates a new recipe for the world's greatest potato casserole, and it becomes popular everywhere, and they used some physics for creating the recipe to calculate the best heat distribution or whatever, then that's enough?

Maybe if the potato casserole is exploded in the microwave by another physicist, on his way to start a resonance cascade...

(i'll see myself out).
