Question
Saluton, Maria.  My boss, in passing, mentioned he's always wanted to have "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen" translated to Latin as a sort of office motto.

PS - what an amazing resource this is.  Thank you in advance!

Answer
Hello Robert,

"If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen" can be translated into Latin as follows:

-"Nisi  vim fers caloris, a culina abi!".

Please note that:
If =NISI
you can't stand = FERS
the heat = VIM CALORIS
stay out = ABI
of the kitchen = A CULINA

Best regards
Maria
