Ongoing	Online	Awareness and Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination in the Hospitality Workplace	2
Food Manager Testing, LLC Cost: $29.95 299 Bentley Dr. Longwood, FL 32779 Roy Briggs Phone: 457-802-6604 roy@fmtsite.com Prevention is the best tool to eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace. Employers are encouraged to take steps necessary to prevent sexual harassment from occurring. They should clearly communicate to employees that sexual harassment will not be tolerated. They can do so by providing sexual harassment training to their employees and by establishing an effective complaint or grievance process. Why is this course important? When investigating allegations of sexual harassment, investigators look at the whole record, the circumstances, such as the nature of the sexual advances, and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred. www.foodmanagertesting.com

No matter how carefully a recipe is written, the judgment of the cook is still the most important factor in a preparation turning out well. A cook’s judgment is based on experience, on an understanding of the raw materials available, and on knowledge of basic cooking principles and food science. Ever since Carême began to define the principles and methods that lie behind the recipes we use, professional cooking has been based on procedures and methods rather than only on recipes. In the twenty-first century, chefs have improved their knowledge not just of cooking theory but also of the science behind it. This course deals with basic principles. You will learn about what happens to food when it is heated, about how food is cooked by different methods, and about rules of seasoning and flavoring. It is important to understand the science of food and cooking so you can successfully use these principles in the kitchen. www.chefcertification.com

In this course, you will study the causes of food-borne diseases and kitchen injuries, and you will learn ways of preventing them. Prevention, of course, is the most important thing to learn. It is not as important to be able to recite the names of disease-causing bacteria as it is to be able to prevent their growth in food. Rules of personal hygiene and sanitary food handling were not invented just to make your life difficult. There are good reasons for all of them. Instead of starting this module with lists of rules, we first talk about the causes of food-borne diseases. Then, when we get to the rules, you will understand why they are important. This will make them easier to remember and to practice. The rules presented in this course are basic guidelines only. Local health departments have more detailed regulations. All food-service operators are responsible for knowing the health department regulations in their own city and state. The information presented here is practical as well as theoretical. It should not merely be learned but also put to use systematically. One effective system food-service establishments can use to ensure food safety is the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system. This practical program identifies possible danger points and sets up procedures for corrective action. www.chefcertification.com

Ongoing	Online	Cooking Legumes, Grains and Pasta	5
Ingrain, Inc Cost: $45 For most of human history—and prehistory—grains have been the most important source of nutrients and calories to sustain life, and this remains true today in many parts of the world. For example, in parts of Asia, rice is eaten at nearly every meal. In Japan, the standard words for breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be translated as “morning rice,” “noon rice,” and “evening rice.” In many regions, dried beans, eaten together with rice, are a more common source of protein than meat or fish. Dried legumes are actually matured, dried versions of some fresh vegetables are not immediately thought of as starches. However, they do have a high starch content and, because of their dried nature, are handled much like grains. Pastas and noodles are important starchy foods made from grains, usually wheat, but also rice and other grains. In this course we look primarily at the noodle products inherited from Italian cuisine, but we also learn about noodles from other cuisines. chefcertification.com

This is particularly so in the foodservice industry where issues of labor supply and demand have many chefs and managers scratching their heads, wondering where they are going to get enough qualified staff to support their operations. Seasoned hospitality veterans will be the first to tell you that locating and hiring quality employees is perhaps the most challenging aspect of managing a modern restaurant business today.

To be successful in the food-service industry, cooks need more than the ability to prepare delicious, attractive, and nutritious foods. They also must have a talent for organization and efficiency. In every kitchen, a great many tasks must be completed over a given time and by a limited number of workers. No matter when these tasks are done, they must all come together at one crucial point: service time. Only if advance preparation is done thoroughly and systematically can service go smoothly. Good chefs take pride in the thoroughness and quality of their advance preparation, or mise en place (meez-on-plahss). This French term, meaning “everything put in place,” is an important and often-heard expression in North American kitchens because food-service professionals understand its importance to the success of the establishment. This course deals with the basic concepts of mise en place as well as specific operations that are normally part of the mise en place. www.chefcertification.com

I want to help you, and I want this course to be a resource for you. One thing that I have learned about entrepreneurship and running businesses is that it is always, and I stress the word always, easier if you can learn from the mistakes of others. Learning from the successes of others is great, but learning from mistakes is even better. www.chefcertification.com

Any teacher can fill a bookshelf with books about education. Any teacher can study lists of guidelines, standards, principles, and theories. The best teachers and the worst teachers can ace exams in their undergraduate and graduate classes. The difference between more effective teachers and their less effective colleagues is not what they know. It is what they do. This course is about what great teachers do that sets them apart. Clarifying what the best educators do, and then practicing it ourselves, can move us into their ranks. This course is not meant to prescribe a narrow set of instructions. Instead, it frames the landscape of school from the perspective of great teachers. What do they see when they view their classrooms and the students in them? Where do they focus their attention? How do they spend their time and energy? What guides their decisions? How can we gain the same advantages? www.chefcertification.com
