The chef coordinates all kitchen activities, directs training, plans menus and sets the standards ofconduct. The sous-chef supervises and coordinates the preparation of foods. The line cooks aredirectly responsible for preparing food items as directed and may operate one or more stations,such as sauté and broiler.3. Describe the differences in a meal prepared by Carême and one prepared by Point.Carême’s meal would feature showpieces, dozens of courses, foods that are elaboratelypresented, garnished and sauced. Point’s meal would be much lighter, emphasizing naturalflavors and simpler preparations.4. List and explain three technological advances affecting food preparation.Cast-iron stoves: the heat source could be approached and the heat more easily controlledCanned foods: preservation and extended storageTransportation: increased availability, freedom from using only locally produced ingredients5. Discuss the societal changes that have contributed to diversification in the modern foodservice industry.The creation and identification of new consumer groups; the increase in the type of facilitiesproviding food, such as schools, resorts, office complexes; the increase of women in theworkforce brought an increased need for food services and the financial means to use them.6. The newspapers in most large cities as well as national food magazines publishrestaurant reviews. Use the Internet to find restaurant reviews from a city other than theone in which you live. Select one or two restaurants where you would like to dine thenext time you visit that city. Why did you select these particular establishments?Some sources for restaurant reviews include:http://www.usnpl.com/links to the web site of newspapers and other media in each statein the United States.http://gourmetspot.com/restaurants.htmlinks to restaurant reviews from various print andinternet sources.www.gayot.com/provides restaurant reviews for major cities in the United States.7.

Foods can be contaminated in several ways. Explain the differences betweenbiological, chemical and physical contamination. Give an example of each.Biological: Food contains an unsafe number of disease-causing microorganisms, such asbacteria or mold.Chemical: Food is contaminated with chemicals, such as cleaners or pesticides.Physical: Food is contaminated with foreign matter, such as broken glass or metal shavings.2. Under what conditions will bacteria thrive? Explain what you can do to alter theseconditions.Bacteria thrive when provided with food (especially proteins), the right temperature (60° F to 120°F), time, moisture and a neutral pH (acid/alkali balance). Oxygen may or may not be necessary.Temperature is the easiest to control. Keep all potentially hazardous foods out of the temperaturedanger zone (41° F to 135° F). Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.3. What is the temperature danger zone? What is its significance in food preparation?The temperature range, 41° F to 135° F, in which bacteria thrive. Foods must not be within thisrange of temperatures for more than four hours total. So, foods should be heated or cooledquickly, and only small amounts should be removed from refrigeration for fabrication orpreparation.4. Explain how improper or inadequate pest management can lead to food-borneillnesses.7

Rodents and insects carry bacteria on their bodies. These pests then contaminate any surfaceswith which they come into contact. The failure to control pests, preferably by preventinginfestations in the first place, can lead to food-borne illnesses.5. Define HACCP. How is this system used in a typical food service facility?Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points is a system of managing and maintaining sanitaryconditions through a rigorous process of self-inspection. Any food service facility can begin to usethis system by closely examining the flow of foods through the operation, beginning with thedecision to include an item on the menu. Special attention is paid to any point in this flow at whicha mistake could result in the risk of contamination or bacterial growth.6. Visit the websites of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and DrugAdministration. What is the Model Food Code? What types of programs do theseagencies offer for training consumers about food safety?www.usda.govwww.fda.govwww.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/RetailFoodProtection/FoodCode/default.htmis a USDAsite with the online text of the current Model Food Code.7. Half of all food borne illness is linked to fresh produce. What steps should be taken toprevent this.Wash whole produce before cutting to remove field soilClean and sanitize all equipmentRefrigerate produce immediatelyLearning ActivitiesKitchen InspectionIn class, discuss the benefits of health inspections in restaurants. Assign groups of 3-5students to conduct a mock health inspection, one group per each area of your school,including the kitchens, dish areas, walk-ins, dining rooms or any other foodservice areas.Groups will list any hazards or safety violations that they see and then write up aninspection report. This report should detail the hazards they observed, describe theirpotential effects and make suggestions to correct the problems.Web sites for state restaurant associations are good resources for learning more about thehealth inspection process.www.restaurant.org/posts articles from the National Restaurant Association on handlingrestaurant inspections as well as other food safety issues.www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/FoodborneIllness/default.htmis an FDA site withinformation on specific food-borne illnesses.Applying HACCPIn class, share the current menu from your school’s dining room. Assign each student toselect one menu item and create a written HACCP flowchart for it.8

Describe the four types of menus. Can each type of menu offer foods à la carte, semi àla carte and/or table d’hôte? Explain your answer.Static or fixed: The same foods are offered every day.Cycle: The menu covers a set time period and then repeats.Market: The menu is based on the product availability during a specific time period.Hybrid: Combines two or more menu types.All four menu types can offer foods à la carte, semi à la carte or table d’hôte because thesecategories indicate only how items are ordered and priced.2. Discuss three factors in food preparation that affect successful recipe size changes.Equipment: Changing a recipe may require changing the equipment used.Evaporation: A change in the cooking vessel may alter the rate of evaporation, which may changethe cooking time and alter the strength of the seasonings.Recipe errors: Errors that weren’t apparent when small quantities were prepared may become bigproblems when the recipe size is increased.3. Why is it important to calculate the portion cost of a recipe in professional food serviceoperations? Why is the full recipe cost inadequate?Unless the entire recipe is sold as a “portion,” you must calculate the cost per portion in order todetermine an appropriate selling price.4. List several factors, other than kitchen procedures, that a chef should examine whenlooking for ways to control food costs.Food costs may be excessive because of poor menu design, a lack of control over purchasing orordering, a breakdown in proper receiving procedures, improper food storage, inconsistentportion sizes, problems with the front-of-the-house staff or a failure to record sales properly. Mostof these problems can be corrected with proper training and supervision.5. Several recipe costing software programs are available online. Research two of theseprograms. What are their advantages and disadvantages? Why is it important for cooks tolearn to calculate recipe costs without the aid of a computer?11

For example:www.calcmenu.com/www.resortsoftware.com/www.culinarysoftware.com/prod0001.htmhttp://www.chef365.com/Learning ActivitiesMenu Design IIn class, cluster students into small groups and provide a menu from a different restaurantfor each group. Ask the groups to identify the type of menu and to critique the languageand overall design. (If the menus are from restaurants that would not be familiar to thestudents, ask them to describe what they imagine the décor, service and presentationswould be based solely on the appearance of the menu.)During a follow-up discussion on menus, the groups will share their observations.Menu Design IIAssign students to create mock-up menus for their own imagined restaurants that includeeverything from the cover to the item descriptions.Post each menu in the classroom with a comment sheet and ask the whole class toprovide written feedback for revision.Each student will revise his or her menu and submit it for grading.Recipe ConversionAssign groups of three students to design a menu for a three-course wedding supper for500 people. After selecting appropriate recipes fromOn Cooking, each student willconvert one of the recipes and compile them into a group report that will also includeother factors that will need to be considered, including equipment, evaporation, possiblerecipe errors and time.Each group will share the experience of recipe conversion and its challenges in a wholeclass discussion.Purchasing Specification ExerciseUsing the recipes from the exercise above, assign the same groups of students to developpurchase specifications for three of the major ingredients required. Each student willprepare one specification sheet listing the product, menu item, desired brand or grade,product size, count, packaging requirements and any other product characteristics calledfor by the recipe.Each group will share the experience of developing purchasing specifications in a wholeclass discussion.12

Recipe ConventionsHave students review the recipe conventions used in On Cooking discussed on pages xvii– xviii.Restaurant ReviewAssign students to eat at a restaurant of their choice (according to what they can afford)and observe what takes place. Students will present their research in the form of a onepage restaurant review. They may even include a score using stars or other rating system.The review should include the restaurant name, the type of cuisine and style of service.Extra credit can be given for a copy of the menu.Students should observe the way they were greeted, the promptness and quality of theservice and the overall cleanliness of the dining room. Issues they should address includethe quality of the presentation and flavor of the food. Was it delivered promptly? Was itserved appropriately (hot or cold)? Did the menu offer the right amount of menu itemsand variety? Was the quality of the food justified by the price charged? Would theyrecommend the restaurant to family or friends? What would they recommend therestaurant do to improve any faults?Have the students shared their reviews with the class. Students should be encouraged torevisit their reviews at the completion of their studies in order to evaluate their ownunderstanding of the dining experience. Students may want to keep a journal of theirdining experiences while they are taking this course.Supplementary MaterialsHandout: Recipe Costing Form (Blank)PowerPoint Slides13
