Food Hygiene Training- UK Food Service Standards
od hygiene training is critical to the success of any restaurant or food service career. It doesn’t matter if you are working in a fast food restaurant or if you’re working in a 5-star restaurant, because food hygiene is always going to be an important issue to take care of. People expect to be taken care of when they dine out and it is your responsibility to ensure that you have proper training that will allow you to make them feel comfortable and safe with your food preparation or service. You need to ensure that you have the best possible training for your foodservice operations, whether you are a part time employee or the owner of the business.
Food service standards, like those in the U.S., are always going to be different depending on where in the world you are. Food hygiene training allows you to level the playing field, learn what you need to know, and then move on with your career with a more responsible and educated outlook on things. You will learn techniques that you might not be aware of and learn how food safety affects the every day, which many people also don’t consider. Online training for food safety and hygiene isn’t hard to find, as long as you know what you’re looking for. Make sure that you find a reputable source for training so that you can make the most of your experience every single time. Read more

Crock Pot – Old Fashioned Beef Stew Recipe
During the fall and winter months, I enjoy making hearty soups and stews in my crock pot for my family. I love the fact that I can spend a few minutes in the morning preparing it, put it into the slow cooker and walk away…a few hours later, our dinner is hot and ready to enjoy.
The following recipe was given to me by my 83 year old great aunt about 25 years ago. To this day, I still enjoy making it for my family. If you don’t like okra, you can certainly omit it from the recipe. At times, I have actually substituted the okra with some fresh green beans or green peas, and the stew was just as delicious.
