First, my thanks go'to the Research Coordinating Unit Director of the Pennsylvania Department.of Education''s Bureau of Vocationl EdUcation, Dr. Carroll A. Curtis and his staff. And particu- . w a lar thanks also go to the.RCU's Dr. Clarence Dittenhafer, who endured' . a long series of efforts to conceptualize this project.,He did so with patience, offering many useful insights' and a willingness to hear . t . with some initial wrong turns. Without the added encouragement and support of Miss Capline Kratz, Senior Program-Specialist in Home ' Economics at the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and her staff, this effort would almost certainly have .been impossible, John on,.wilo provided the project with editorial assistance, managed to bring this volume together without friction within time constraints that would have made weaker men cringe. His is the major 4 merit for clarity in presentation; given the difficulty of the subject ,matter,the cannot be blamed if some of us seem a brit plodding. His volke shaped the concept of the project and its continuation, just as his hand shaped this final product. encouragement, too, came from the food Arvice professionals who agreed to help with this project: Dick Benefield, President of the Pennsylvania Hotel and Motoc,Inn Association; William Lapitsky also 4%, of the Association; Ms: Jane Armstrong, Vice President for Consumer .

It isn’t a word often used in businesses, but it is a word often used about businesses. Whether a customer loves your brand, loves your menu, loves your servers or loves your culture translates into whether your business will thrive. Love is a word businesses should get comfortable with. The annual Consumer Picks special report from Nation’s Restau- rant News and WD Partners is a measure of restaurant brand success from the eyes of their guests. Surveying customers to the tune of 37,339 ratings, Lincluding specific data points on 10 restaurant brand attributes like Cleanliness, Value, Service and Craveability, Consumer Picks ranks 173 chains on whether or not their guests are feeling the love. In this year’s report, starting on page 10, there is valuable analysis on top strat- egies to win over the customer, from the simplicity of cleaning the restaurant to the more complex undertaking of introducing an app to provide guests access to quick mobile payment options. Some winning brands relaunched menus and oth- ers redesigned restaurants. It is very clear through this report’s data and operator insights that to satisfy today’s demanding consumer, a holistic approach to your brand — who you are, what you stand for, the menu items you serve, the style in which you serve it and the atmosphere you provide to your guest — is required. This isn’t anything new.

  • I UG Food Preservation
    Dr Ambedkar Government Arts College , Vyasarpadi, Chennai - 39 I B.Sc - Home Science - Nutrition , Food Service Management and Dietetics (UG) 2020-2021 Major paper FOOD PRESERVATION AND PROCESSING Unit - I Nature of harvested crop • The quality of harvested crop is dependant on the conditions of growth and on post harvest treatment. Storage condition of a crop is dependent on the function of composition, resistance to attacks by microorganisms, external conditions of temperature and gases in the environment • The most important characteristic of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is that they are alive and respiring. • Ripening rendering the produce edible; as indicated by by taste. During ripening, starch is converted to sugar. When respiration declines, senescence (it ends at the death of the tissue of the fruit) develops in the last stage. • Maturity is indicated by skin colour, optical methods, shape, size, aroma, fruit opening, leaf changes and firmness. • Low temperature also disrupt the complex sequence of biochemical reactions taking place in plant tissue and cause a disorder known as chilling injury. • After harvesting decline in the rate of oxygen uptake and Carbon dioxide evolution to a low value is followed by a shark rise to a peak, terminating in pest- climacteric stage. The peak to minimum ratio tends to increase with temperature. this ratio varies among fruits. the slope of the rise varies with species maturity, temperature and the oxygen and Carbon dioxide of the storage chamber. Plant product storage Fresh fruits and vegetable maintain life processes during storage. As long as they are alive, they are able to resist the growth of spoilage organisms to some degree.

  • Kitchen Curiosities KITCHEN CURIOSITIES 2
    1 Authors: Anna Gunnarsson and Jenny Schlüpmann Kitchen Curiosities KITCHEN CURIOSITIES 2 Conceptual introduction The teaching unit ‘Kitchen Curiosities’ plays in two different settings: the school yard (→ page 38) and the kitchen itself (→ page 43). If you want to know what can be found in a kitchen you can head for the vocabulary corner. [1] In the story, the children are introduced to the origin of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. The Hindu-Arabic numerals are compared to Roman and ancient Egyptian numerals. The children also learn about different kinds of bread and baked goods: 5 chapatis from India, Afghanistan and East Africa 5 naan taftoon from Iran, Pakistan and Northern India 5 pita bread from Syria, Lebanon and Greece 5 focaccia from Italy 5 scones from Great Britain Except for the chapati dough, all these doughs contain yeast or baking powder: dry yeast in naan taftoon and pita bread, fresh yeast in focaccia and baking powder in scones. The children are asked to decipher bread recipes in Arabic, Hindi and Persian. This puts children from countries with Latin writing in a situation in which they are confronted with a text they cannot read – a common situation for children who are not yet familiar with Latin writing. The kitchen is a perfect place to experiment with yeast and dough. In the first experiment (→ page 48), the children investigate the effects of dry yeast and learn how to handle experi- ments with several independent parameters. The second experiment (→ page 50) is about how the different doughs float or sink. In the third experiment (→ page 52), cabbage juice, lemon juice and baking soda are used to change the colour of the dough.

Some utensils such as the Dutch Pot continue to be a popular in Jamaican Coal Stove households. Others such as the yabba are waning The coal stove is a small charcoal fuelled cooker in popularity and are considered to be heirlooms with a basin-like top covered by a flat metal grill rather than cooking tools.
