How much team work goes on between chefs and chemists when recipes are put together?


I can’t believe some of these answers…….There is a constant collaboration between chefs and chemists, also know in the food industry as FOOD SCIENTISTS…..They along with the chefs determine things like (I’m going to use a Duncan Hines boxed cake mix for an example)

How much and what kind of leavening should be used in:

A white cake mix
A yellow cake mix
A chocolate cake mix

ALL the above take different amounts and different types of leavening, sugar and sodium levels to ensure that the cakes have a consistent level of accuracy for the home cook……Different mixes require different types of ingredients (like the chocolate cake mix, because it’s made with Dutch process cocoa, they don’t use aluminum phosphate as a leavening, they use calcium phosphate along with sodium bicarbonate………

If chefs and chemists (read: food scientists) didn’t do this stringent measure, NOTHING would ever come out the same…..So, yes, there is a heck of a lot going on with chefs and chemists…..

How come super chefs are not aware of the secret recipes of famous restaurants?

How come famous chefs like Racheal Ray, Giada, Nigella and others can’t figure out the secret recipe of Mcdonald’s or KFC by tasting only??

It’s the Chef Code of Honor that they don’t reveal recipes. I’ve had to sign contracts stating that I would and could not give out any recipe for the Company/ Corporation that I was employed by. This is how they make their money by spending years of testing and research trying to figure out their best recipe to sell to the public. It’s the same for Beer,Wine, Pizza’s,Etc. You might have a chance at getting close to the recipe by looking at the ingrediants, but its trial and error from there on out. It come down to the kind of person you are. If your best friend told you to keep a secret and not to tell anyone, would you?

Olive Tapenade Recipe – What Is Tapenade?

http://www.cookingrecipestv.com/ – When it comes to bread with dinner it is always olive tapenade for me. No Butter. No olive oil (out of the bottle anyway) – tapenade!

Want to know the definition of tapenade? This “how to video recipe” explains what tapenade is and how to make it. Tapenade originates from the south of France where it is used as a condiment often in place of butter or olive oil. Ingredients often include olives, herbs, lemon juice, capers as well as anchovies. My version is simple and easy to make with the help of a food processor and contains only five ingredients:

- olives
- garlic
- Italian parsley
- olive oil
- fresh ground black pepper

Enjoy,
Chef Brian

A Variety of Rewarding Careers in the Food Service Industry

Employment growth in the food service industry will be spurred by increases in population, household income, and leisure time that will allow people to more often dine out and take vacations. In addition, the large number of two-income households will lead more families to opt for the convenience of dining out.

Chefs, cooks, and food preparation workers prepare, season, and cook a wide range of foods – from soups, snacks, and salads to entrees, side dishes, and desserts – in a variety of restaurants and other food services establishments. Chefs and cooks create recipes and prepare meals, while food preparation workers peel and cut vegetables, trim meat, prepare poultry, and perform other duties such as keeping work areas clean and monitoring temperatures of ovens and stovetops.

Chefs and head cooks also are responsible for directing the work of other kitchen workers, estimating food requirements, and ordering food supplies.

Executive chefs and head cooks coordinate the work of the kitchen staff and direct the preparation of meals. Chefs tend to be more highly skilled and better trained than cooks.

The specific responsibilities of most cooks are determined by a number of factors, including the type of restaurant in which they work.

Most fast-food or short-order cooks and food preparation workers require little education or training; most skills are learned on the job. Training generally starts with basic sanitation and workplace safety subjects and continues with instruction on food handling, preparation, and cooking procedures.

Large corporations in the food services and hospitality industries also offer paid internships and summer jobs to those just starting out in the field. Internships provide valuable experience and can lead to placement in more formal chef training programs.

Some chefs and cooks may start their training in high school or post-high school vocational programs. Others may receive formal training through independent cooking schools, professional culinary institutes, or 2 or 4 year college degree programs in hospitality or culinary arts. In addition, some large hotels and restaurants operate their own training and job-placement programs for chefs and cooks. People who have had courses in commercial food preparation may start in a cook or chef job without spending a lot of time in lower-skilled kitchen jobs.

Important characteristics for chefs, cooks, and food preparation workers include working well as part of a team, having a keen sense of taste and smell, and working efficiently to turn out meals rapidly. Personal cleanliness is essential because most States require health certificates indicating that workers are free from communicable diseases. Knowledge of a foreign language can be an asset because it may improve communication with other restaurant staff, vendors, and the restaurant’s clientele.

Workers who perform tasks similar to those of chefs, cooks, and food preparation workers include food processing occupations, such as butchers and meat cutters, and bakers. Others who work closely with these workers include food service managers and food and beverage serving and related workers.

Waiters and waitresses, the largest group of these workers, take customers’ orders, serve food and beverages, prepare itemized checks, and sometimes accept payment. In coffee shops serving routine, straightforward fare, such as salads, soups, and sandwiches, servers are expected to provide fast, efficient, and courteous service. In fine dining restaurants, where more complicated meals are prepared and often served over several courses, waiters and waitresses provide more formal service emphasizing personal, attentive treatment and a more leisurely pace.

Bartenders fill drink orders either taken directly from patrons at the bar or through waiters and waitresses who place drink orders for dining room customers. They prepare mixed drinks, serve bottled or draught beer, and pour wine or other beverages. Bartenders must know a wide range of drink recipes and be able to mix drinks accurately, quickly, and without waste. Bartenders should be friendly and enjoy talking with customers.

Hosts and hostesses welcome guests and maintain reservation or waiting lists. They may direct patrons to coatrooms, restrooms, or to a place to wait until their table is ready.

Dining room and cafeteria attendants and bartender helpers assist waiters, waitresses, and bartenders by cleaning tables, removing dirty dishes, and keeping serving areas stocked with supplies.

Counter attendants take orders and serve food in cafeterias, coffee shops, and carryout eateries.

Food processing occupations include many different types of workers who process raw food products into the finished goods sold by grocers or wholesalers, restaurants, or institutional food services.

Butchers as well as meat, poultry, and fish cutters and trimmers are employed at different stages in the process by which animal carcasses are converted into manageable pieces of meat, known as boxed meat, that are suitable for sale to wholesalers and retailers.

In animal slaughtering and processing plants, slaughterers and meatpackers slaughter cattle, hogs, goats, and sheep and cut the carcasses into large wholesale cuts, such as rounds, loins, ribs, and chucks, to facilitate the handling, distribution, and marketing of meat.

Bakers mix and bake ingredients in accordance with recipes to produce varying quantities of breads, pastries, and other baked goods.

Other food processing workers – such as food batchmakers; food and tobacco roasting, baking, and drying machine operators and tenders; and food cooking machine operators and tenders – typically work in production areas that are specially designed for food preservation or processing.

With the extent of growth in the industry of food service, managers are going to be in high demand. Management positions in the food service industry are diverse. Succeeding in the industry takes drive, ambition, and the desire to please people as the food service industry is about customer service. It also requires a lot of energy, an outgoing personality, and the ability to be comfortable working with a variety of people from a variety of backgrounds. You also need to be a risk taker and have the ability to solve problems quickly.

The college degree gives the foundation on which to build the management career. And, if your course work included financial and management classes it’s even better. Your degree will enable you to start as an assistant manager instead of an hourly employee.

Employers will be looking for evidence that you are interested in the field and understand its demands; experience is your evidence. Ideally, you’ve served an internship or apprenticeship for a food service employer, but summer and part-time jobs as a waiter, hostess, or cafeteria worker will also show employers that you understand the industry.

Recipes For Cooking – 5 Smart Tips To Get The Best From Your Recipes

The phrase “health freaks” is well known. But a new phrase “cooking freaks” can be coined for those immensely in love with their kitchens! Their conversations center round cooking recipes and they are constantly awaiting opportunities to surprise everyone—family members, friends, relatives—with innovative dishes! The praise that follows the consumption of every mouth-watering dish is enough reward for them!

Cooking recipes are very easy to find and hoard. Just take a look around—book stores, stores supplying health food, grocery stores—all of them have recipes in stock. It comes as a boon when you find these recipes in unusual places like gift shops offering special items. But the best place to get cooking recipes is of course, the Internet. There are literally hundreds to be found on different web sites! The one who loves to cook is truly lost for words when being flooded with so many recipes!

If you dislike the idea of having so many loose pages around, just purchase a bound cookbook. Modern cookbooks give illustrations of what a dish will look like after it has been cooked. Generally, the recipes you collect come minus pictures. So there is a certain amount of apprehension when trying out something new, wondering if the dish will really turn out well or not. You need have no such doubts where recipes come with accompanying pictures. You are willing to try anything!

The possibilities of what you can do with all these cooking recipes is endless—

(1) Imagine a time when you want to make a special occasion even more special with a fabulous cooking creation of your own. Your recipes come in very handy then!
(2) You could throw a “Let’s exchange cooking recipes” party where each guest brings the recipe as well as the prepared dish.
(3) A recipe club could be started where members exchange recipes or even demonstrate the preparation of a new dish at a weekly get-together or a monthly get-together.
(4) If you have been collecting cooking recipes over the years, why not think about authoring your own cookbook?
(5) Collecting a favorite chef’s famous recipes can become a hobby, if nothing else. Not only do you possess recipes for all occasions, you improve your own culinary skills by trying out new dishes all the time.

All said and done, should your inexperience in cooking come in the way of trying out the cooking recipes you have collected so far, well, just turn on the television to watch cooking shows and learn. DVDs about cooking are also available. As a last resort, join cookery classes! The choice of wanting to learn alone or with others rests entirely with you!
