Managing Frozen Foods

Author: Chris Kennedy

Based on work with more than 30 industrial and academic organizations, including Nestle, Unilever, and Danone, this book provides a unique overview of the entire supply chain. Noting the key quality factors at each stage of production, distribution and retail sales of frozen food, this book will demonstrate why quality is a fundamental advantage in this multi-billion dollar industry. Frozen Foods are no longer the "step-child" of the food industry. Bland basic staples have given way to a new line of items containing high-quality ingredients that not only are tasty, but nutritious, too. Managing Frozen Foods traces the roots of frozen food from Clarence Birdseye to the present and explains what made tonight's dinner reality—and what will make tomorrow's even more safe and delicious. This book will serve as an invaluable resource for technicians and engineers within the frozen food industry, as well as a useful reference for students of food science and technology.

My Favorite Cookbook: A Collection of Recipes

Author: Theresa M Cross

Great cooking begins with a passion for great food! This cookbook is a "romance" novel for those who are passionate about the food they serve to those they love.

The meals are not complicated; however, the majority are somewhat exotic, flavorful, and delicious. The recipes are derived from the award-winning author's eclectic background in French, Moroccan, Italian, and Spanish cuisines.

Each of the 200 recipes is preceded by a short history or story of the recipe which entices the reader even further. Examples of recipes include: patй mousse with bacon, potato enchiladas with chipolte cream sauce, lamb tangine with prunes and almonds, pork tenderloin with rosemary cream sauce, cinnamon bread custard pudding, and three layer lemon pie, just to name a few. The book includes recipes for appetizers, beverages, soups, salads, meats, poultry, seafood, breads, rolls, pies, pastries, desserts, cakes and cookies. It also includes helpful hints, cooking tips, nutritional information, and much more.

My Favorite Cookbook is small and spiral bound, therefore, following recipes is convenient and simple. It is beautifully designed & illustrated and includes washable covers and section dividers.
