Chemical changes very often happen when you prepare a meal. For example, when cooking a cake, the yeast reacts and the cake rises. Whenever something changes and you cannot reverse that change, it is a chemical change whereas if you can change it back, it is a physical change!
Food energy is used for heat and motive energy (muscle contraction).
food these days are made with chemicals anyways.
Cooking food (including frying it) does produce chemical changes.
Chemistry is related to food because of the chemical compounds found in all of our foods. Everything we eat is made up of Oxygen, Nirtogen, Hydrogen, and Carbon. The only difference is how these elemets are organized in different foods which also affects how certain foods are digested and metabolized.

Animals get energy from the food they eat. Their body transforms chemical energy in the food into kinetic energy, thermal energy, and other chemical energy

Both of those processes are parts of cooking. It depends on what you're doing. If you're melting or freezing its a physical change. If you're changing it into another substance then its chemical. A chemical change is when a substance is changed into another entirely different substance. This happens when an event occurs that changes the composition of the substance. Examples of chemical changes are color changes, absorbing energy, releasing energy, odor changes, producing gases, producing solids, and can't be easily reversed. A physical change is when there is a change is physical properties. This happens when an event occurs that doesn't change their chemical. Examples of physical changes are changes in the texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, and density.
