Quality Food Preparation Techniques
P. V. Patil
Food is any substance, usually composed primarily of carbohydrates, fats, water and/or proteins, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal for nutrition. Most traditions have a recognizable cuisine, a specific set of cooking traditions, preferences, and practices, the study of which is known as food gastronomy. Whereas study of food is called food science. While some food can be eaten without preparation, many foods undergo some form of preparation for reasons of safety, palatability, or flavour. At the simplest level this may involve washing, cutting, trimming or adding other foods or ingredients, such as spices. It may also involve mixing, heating or cooling, pressure cooking, fermentation, or combination with other food. In a home, most food preparation takes place in a kitchen. Some preparation is done to enhance the taste or aesthetic appeal; other preparation may help to preserve the food; and others may be involved in cultural identity. A meal is made up of food which is prepared to be eaten at a specific time and place. The chapters, which indicate the in-depth coverage of the subject, include: • Introduction • Keep Food Safe, Healthy, and Appealing • Fruits and Vegetables • Meat and Meat Alternates • Cooking Methods • Food Preparation • Modern Food Security • Modern Techniques • Quality Food and Health • Bibliography • Index The book will be useful to Nutritionists, dieticians and all those involved with the hospitality and food industries." ..more

Handbook of Tourism
Yogesh Kumar SharmaPragya Sharma
Tourism as a manifestation of leisure pre-supposes a socioeconomic milieu in which money and time-away-from-work can be accumulated to be spent at will. Tourism as a form of mobility suggests that culturally sanctioned reasons exist for leaving home to travel. Many countries depend heavily upon travel expenditures by foreigners as a source of taxation and as a source of income for the enterprises that sell services to these travellers. Consequently the development of tourism is often a strategy employed either by a Non-governmental organization (NGO) or a governmental agency to promote a particular region for the purpose of increasing commerce through exporting goods and services to non-locals. This book is intended primarily, for tourists, students, educationists interested in planning and planners interested in tourism development and management. The contents includes: • Tourism: An Introduction • Theoretical Analysis of Tourism • Sustainable Tourism Planning and Community Participation • Tourism, Small Enterprises and Community Development • Physical and Economic Development of Tourism • Strategies for Planning and Development in Tourism • Cultural Tourism and Development • Impact of Tourism on the Arts and Crafts • Tourist Studies in Anthropological Perspective • Cultural Constructions and Alternative Tourism • Performance Measurement in Tourism Destination Development ..more
