PERSONAL HYGIENE
Apart from the history imbued in these garments, each item in this professional uniform
also serves a specific purpose in protecting and assisting the chef as they perform their
job. Nothing is overlooked from design to fabric to button choice.
CHEF’S COAT: The chef’s jacket has a number of important features and they all center on
functionality.
• Material is made from a heavy cotton material for breathability and to insulate the chef from heat and any
splashes of hot liquids.
• Sleeves: chef’s uniforms traditional have either short or longer sleeves. While longer sleeves assists in
protecting arms from burns and cuts, shorter sleeves keeps the uniform out of the way, avoiding these
hazards.
• Knotted buttons: plastic or metal buttons have a tendency to chip or fall off, which is dangerous in a
professional cooking environment. Knotted cloth buttons circumvent this. They are also much easier to undo
should the chef need to remove their jacket quickly in the event of an accident with hot oil or fire.
• Double-breasted & reversible: the double layer serves two functions. It provides an additional layer of
insulation against heat or burns. But it can also be quickly reversed should the jacket become stained,
enabling chefs to continue with their task, rather than having to stop and change. It is also handy if they are
required to present to dining room to speak with patrons.
CHEF’S HAT: More than any other piece of clothing, the toque blanche (French for ‘white hat’) is
the most recognizable item in a chef’s uniform. When one says the word ‘chef’, the image of a tall,
rounded, starched hat with pleats often comes to mind. From a historical perspective, the toque
blanche indicates the chef’s status within a kitchen (their seniority level, knowledge and authority).
But it also serves a functional purpose in preventing hair from falling into the food as it is prepared.
APRON: Although not considered a part of the traditional chef’s uniforms, the vast majority of chefs
today wear an apron as an added protection against heat, flames and stains. A high-quality chef’s
apron should be made out of a heavy-duty, flame retardant material. Some chefs also prefer large
pockets to enable the safe storage of essential tools they need as they cook.
SHOES: Comfort and safety are the two biggest factors to consider when it comes to chef shoes.
Expert chefs are on their feet for 10 – 12 hours a day so shoes must be well fitted and possess
good shock absorption. For safety’s sake, it is imperative they are non-slip and have steel or
reinforced toes to protect against falling pots or a spillage of hot liquids.
TEAMWORK
If you have completed assigned task, find someone who is not, and help. As a team, everyone should work as one,
not as individuals.
Kitchen should demonstrate a smooth flow of service. And this can only happen when the team performs their roles
and putting guest as the focus at all times. It will not matter who gets the credit as long as the guest orders are taking
cared of.
As a team, everyone should focus on guest needs and wants. One should be prompt in producing quality at all times,
in all stations. Watch out for specs and time standards as any mistakes would longer the time to deliver to the guests.
Restaurants operate on a system of organized chaos, so teamwork is an important ingredient to maintaining some
order.
Working together is a big factor in delivering uncompromising freshness and quality, thus, creating a dining
experience that is memorable…for the right reasons.
THE FIVE (5) BOH FLOW OF GOODS
Quality starts from the time you choose the raw ingredients. Then, it flows up to serving to guest.
We define quality as our “specifications”.
In order to maintain quality, it is important to focus on managing the “Flow of Goods” as defined below:
ORDERING
You should order only from the approved suppliers. Correct pars should be established by monitoring the product mix and adjusting as needed.
RECIEVING
We need to make sure that the items we received from the back door is according to specs and quality standards. It is imperative to measure and
check deliveries for accuracy. Remember, whatever comes in the backdoor comes out of the dining area.
Freshness in, Freshness out. Immediately store on their proper storage, don’t leave it waiting nor lying on the floor.
STORING
No matter how great your deliveries are, it’s the way you store it that maintains the freshness of each of our products. Make sure that all our
equipment are on the correct temperature settings. A “grocery stack” system should be adhered to in every shelf for easy check.
FIFO system (First IN, First OUT) should be followed to avoid wastages and maintain food cost
PREPARATION
Make it to the recipe. The only message when it comes to the preparation of our menu. Each plate should be well presented according to our
specifications. Also, it is important to follow food safety guidelines in preparation. Quality food starts with food safety.
SERVING
This is the last part. Everyone is trained to do quality assurance and should never let any food pass out of the kitchen without the
“SFC Group Seal of Approval”. What the guest gets in the table is what makes the restaurant.
Hot food should be served Hot, Cold food should be served Cold. Do not serve the food that you wouldn’t be proud!
CLEAN AS YOU GO
POLICY (CLAYGO)
As the saying goes.. “If you have time to lean, you have time to
clean.”
Clean
▪ Ensure that proper handwashing and cleaning of
all f ood contact surf ace. Sanitize the high risk
areas that is use f or f ood preparation every af ter
use.
Separate
▪ Separating raw f ood to cook f ood as well as
f ollowing standards in organizing tasks when
preparation protects our f ood f rom being
contaminated.
Chill
▪ Ref rigeration should be monitored. Chilled
temperature should be 5 C and the f rozen
temperature should be -18 C
Cook
▪ Cooking process kill bacteria. Target temperature
should have internal temperature of 70 C when
f ully cooked and 63C when in hot cabinet.

FOUR (4) STEPS
IN READING A RECIPE
1. Read ALL - all of it, carefully. Make sure that you have all the ingredients in the ingredients list.
Make sure that there aren't any ingredients required by the text of the recipe that aren't mentioned
in the ingredients list
2. Read INGREDIENTS. Look at how the different ingredients need to be prepared. Do the onions
need to be chopped, diced, irradiated with alpha particles, the difference between halved tomatoes
and diced tomatoes can make or break a dish. How you prepare your ingredients is half the battle.
3. Read MEASURING TOOLS. look on the measuring tools. It is important to use proper tools as
per the recipe to get the consistency of the product.
4. Read COOKING PROCEDURES. Exactly, follow the exact cooking procedure method as per
recipe book. Do not do shortcuts, it will ruin the quality of your product
FOOD PREPARATION
This is a very important point in a restaurant operation, not only to avoid wastage or not to run
out of food during service, but also to practice FIFO – First In, First out. You should use the
first product that comes in the kitchen and arrange your storages accordingly to avoid
mistakes.
It is imperative that you know how much food you will need for each different day and what
sells most to be able to identify the amount of food you need to prepare.
It is needed to check out item shelf life as well as maintaining equipment to hold on to the
correct temperature requirements.
What to do always?
1. Clean and sanitize the food contact surface.
2. Use different tongs for raw and cook food.
3. Temp the all cooked food.
4. Serve Hot food at 165°F.
5. Use proper container for cooling food.
6. Use proper ice bath.
7. Separate small for cooling.

GUEST COMPLAINTS &
RECOVERY
❑ Any actions we do to turn dissatisfaction to making the guest happy is called “Recovery”. There are two (2) types of
guest recovery as follows:
✓ Proactive Recovery occurs as soon as the manager or team member realizes that a standard is not being
met. Almost all of our recovery situations can be resolved before the guest even realizes there is a problem.
✓ Reactive Recovery: Reactive recovery occurs when the guest has to bring it to your attention that their
expectations have not been met. Once the guest has alerted a team member the manager must immediately
react..
❑ When we fail to meet our guests’ expectations, changing that negative experience into a positive one is the number
one priority of the entire team. This is recovery! The goal of any recovery situation is: do what’s right for the guest
so they leave the restaurant happy.
RECOVERY BEHAVIORS
1. Listen to the complaints
2. Do not argue
3. Do it with care
4. Prioritize it.
5. Follow exactly the guest demands
6. Do not do shortcut
7. Ensure that food is cook.
8. Complete with garnish
9. Give to the manager for final check.
HANDLING GUEST COMPLAINTS
Among the countless interactions we have with our guest, the least we would like to
have is handling guest complaints. Follow the steps below during your recovery.
STEP #1
L ISTEN
When a Front of the House comes to you for a complaint, he is doing it for the guest.
It is important to listen attentively to avoid mistakes to happen for the second time.
STEP #2
E MPHATIZE
The best way to understand is “to put your feet on the guest shoe”. Your reaction will
express understanding and caring towards guest needs.
STEP #3 A CCEPT
Accepting responsibilities means that you will do everything to turn a dissatisfied guest
happy. There is a time that you will have to explain to the Front of the House the better
way of solving the complaints.
RESPONSIBLITIES
STEP #4
S OLVE THE PROBLEM
ACT NOW! The focus is to recover with the complaints in the shortest possible time. It
is important to focus on the solution and carry it out at once.
STEP #5
T HANK THE FOH
Thank the FOH for bringing the matter to your attention. Stay with them to ensure that
the guest leaves happy.
“ The Basic Culinary Principles”
QUALITY IS ABOUT PASSION AND
PRIDE.
YOU SHOULD NOT SELL ANYTHING OUT OF THE
KITCHEN THAT WOULD NOT BE PROUD TO SERVE TO
THE ROYALTY.
WHAT IS CULINARY?
• Bhuno
it is a combination of sautéing, stir frying and stewing.
• Dum
dum literally means steam. It is a method of cooking food on very low flame,with the help of steam entrapped in a
sealed containers.
• Baghar
baghar is known as tempering in english. And also known by different names in different parts of country – tarka,
chowkna or ghee durust karna. This is basically a process by which the aroma and flavour of spices and herbs is
imbided in the oil which, when mixed with the dish makes it delicious.
• Balchao (pickling)
a goan specialty, influenced by the portuguese, where vegetables like eggplant or seafood like prawns are "pickled"
in sugar, vinegar and spices for a day or two before eating.
• Tawa cooking
a tawa is a round, thick iron griddle, and is slightly concave in the center. It is used when very high temperatures are
needed and is mostly used for indian unleavened breads called chappati or rotis. It is also used for cooking some
unique dishes which require fast cooking with the outer rim is used to keep the dish warm. Popular in indian street
food- especially pav bhaji, is a typical tawa dish and needs to be constantly stirred to avoid burning. It is served
straight out of the tawa and eaten immediately on sour dough bread. Besides fast food a number of main courses like
tawa chicken, tawa vegetables and others are also very popular in this category.
• Talna (frying)
it is the process of cooking food by immersing it in the dip pan of hot oil. It is also know as frying. It could be shallow
fried also.
BASIC COOKING METHODS
• Loab /rogan
it refers to the final stage of cooking when the oil used during cooking, rises to the surface, giving the dish a
finished appearance. This happens when slow cooking of gravy dishes is involved.
• Gunana/guthna (kneading)
this is a process by which a flour or a mixture of flours and other ingredients are combined to form a dough.This
also refers to a process by which a mixture or dough is made smoother, softer and more elastic. Doughs are
generally kneaded on a board by applying a gentle pressing and stretching action with the hand.
• Fetna (beating/whisking)
this is a process by which the consistency, appearance or colour of a mixture or a substance is modified by a sharp
stroking movement.The operation is carried out in many ways according to the nature of ingredients, utensils used
and the purpose.
• Baste
to moisten meat at intervals with a liquid as melted butter, fat, or pan drippings especially during cooking especially
used in grilling and roasting and other meat preparations where the meat is over heat for extended periods of time,
basting can flavor the meat and keep it moist. Meat needs to be basted several times during cooking.
• Bind
this is to press moistened flour or other ingredients into a sticky ball using the fingers e.G. Stuffing samosa etc.
• Balna (boiling)
this is to cook ingredients in liquid with the liquid kept at boiling point 100 degree centigrade so that the surface
of the water bubbles and turns over continually. There are different degrees of boiling from gently boiling to
fast boiling with the surface changing from just gentle bubbling to fairy violent turbulation.
INDIA PALACE KITCHEN SET UP
Kitchen is divided into different section depending on the items in the menu that needs to be
produced and is divided into the following stations:
1. Prep Station
2. Tandoor Station (Grill Section)
3. Curry Station (Fry/Pizza Section)
4. Pantry Station
5. Expo Station
6. DMO Station
7. Prep/Butchery Station
Each of the station has a devoted “Cook” and a Culinary Manager or Head Chef is assigned
every shift to ensure the following points:
In some restaurants, preparation is not a separate station. The Chef on the specific
station prepare their owh production items. However, all stations need to a=have a
complete quality check before starting a new production item.
Recipe Books
Each station have every standard recipe necessary to prepare each of the items on our menu. There are separate recipe books for
Tandoor, Curry, Pantry and Prep. Every time you prepare an item, you must follow the specifications as outlined in the most current
cookbook. This practice not only ensures product consistency, it also helps control food cost by minimizing waste and increasing
efficiency.
***NEVER modify or change a recipe even if it may seem faster or better at the time. Following the recipe ensures the guest receives
the same quality consistency every time in every restaurant!
Prep list
A prep list is available every morning on the portal. This list ensures that the restaurant has the proper amounts of food each day. The prep
list needs to be completed throughout the day. A restaurant may have a designated team member complete the prep list or require the
entire BOH team to accomplish the task.
The prep list works by projecting the amount of each item that will be used each day. This is known as a par. The par is not an exact
science and will not account for unexpected changes in restaurant volume. The par should be used as a guide and not an absolute
certainty. To create a prep list, a manager or team member must record the amount of prepped product that is currently in the restaurant,
including items on the line (on hands) and subtract this from the par. The number that is left is the amount that needs to be prepped that
day. In order to maximize efficiency you can also subtract your on hands from the max prep column. This number will be the maximize
amount that you can prep based on shelf life and will save you time on prep the following day
WORKING WITH TANDOOR
o Traditionally, spices are used both whole and ground; cooked or raw; and they
may be added at different times during the cooking process to produce
different results. The main spices found in most curry powders of the indian
subcontinent are coriander, cumin, and turmeric; a wide range of additional
spices may be included depending on the geographic region and the foods
being included (fish, lentils, red or white meat, rice, and vegetables).
o Dishes called 'curry' may contain fish, meat, poultry, or shellfish, either alone
or in combination with vegetables. Additionally, many instead are entirely
vegetarian, eaten especially among those who hold ethical or religious
proscriptions against eating meat or seafood.
WORKING AT THE PANTRY STATION
2. Space out firelighter cubes on the bottom of the clay oven via the side
oven door. Place 2 lbs. of charcoal loosely on and around the
firelighters. Light the firelighter cubes with a long match through the
open side door of the tandoor.
3. Place additional charcoal on top of the lit charcoal so that you have a
total depth of 2 to 3 inches. Close the tandoori oven's side door after
an hour, or when all of the charcoal is aglow. Begin cooking when the
charcoal no longer produces any flames.
5. Cook meats and vegetables for half the time that's required of a
conventional oven. Remove the skewers from the oven using oven
mitts. Slice open a piece of skewer meat or vegetable with a knife to
make sure the food is cooked all the way through.
6. Always use the white cloth for the bread, when baking in the Tandoor.
Guest should see how safe and clean your products are.
BAINE MARIE
❑ Food should be cooked or heated in a bain marie when you want to avoid
direct contact with the heat source. You can use a bain marie both in the
oven and on a stovetop.
In the oven:
1. Add the ingredient or food that you want to cook into a mold or ramekin.
2. Place the molds in a baking dish.
3. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it is no more than ½ the way up
the side of the molds.
4. Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 300°F.
5. Cook for the time indicated in your recipe.
1. Pour oil to a deep pot, but fill it no more than half full. Generally
the walls of the pot should rise at least 10 cm / 4 in above the oil
so that there are no spillovers. This also helps contain splattering
and makes cleanup easier. Use enough oil so that you can
submerge a small batch of food completely.
3. Pat food dry with paper towels before frying. The presence of
external moisture on foods can cause oil to splatter violently. Use
long tongs, a slotted deep-fry spoon, or a frying basket to insert
and remove foods gently.
4. Once food enters the hot oil, things happen fast. Just 30 seconds
may be enough when you don’t want to cook the interior of the
food further (for example, when deep-frying food after cooking it
sous vide).
1. Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface (i.e., do not place on carpeting or other soft
FOOD PROCESSOR – surfaces).
AN ELECTRIC KITCHEN APPLIANCE
2. Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
USED FOR CHOPPING, MIXING, OR
3. Wash and dry all components thoroughly
PUREEING FOODS.
4. Assemble chopper components by placing the blades onto the pin in the chopper bowl.
Chopper blades are extremely sharp; never touch the cutting edge of blades. Use the
plastic spindle to position the blades in the bowl. Do not use wet or slippery hands when
handling the blade assembly
5. Clean and wash the food to be used.
6. Add food ingredients to the chopping bowl, distributing them evenly. When chopping
larger foods, pre-cut them into pieces of an even size, approximately ½ inch to ¼ inch
pieces.
7. Place the bowl cover onto the chopper bowl. NEVER OPERATE THE CHOPPER
UNLESS THE COVER AND BOWL ARE CORRECTLY POSITIONED.
8. Plug the appliance into the power outlet.
9. Start the chopper by pushing the speed buttons intermittently. Press the button and the
chopper will operate; release the button and it will stop. Try chopping on the lower
speed first. If that is not adequate, try the high speed.
10. If the chopper is laboring, turn off the unit, unplug it, remove some of the mixture and
continue to process in smaller batches.
11. A spatula can be used to scrape ingredients toward the center of the bowl, but only if the
unit is unplugged first and the blades have stopped.
12. Hard ingredients such as coffee beans and ice will damage the blade. Do not use the
food chopper for hard ingredients.
13. The chopper does its work in seconds. Do not operate for longer than 20 continuous
seconds at a time. Stop the chopper and allow it to cool for 1 minute after 10 seconds of
continuous operation.
14. After completion of chopping, unplug the unit.
15. Reverse the above procedure to remove the motor housing, bowl cover blade and bowl.
GAS RANGE
GAS RANGE –
A COOKING STOVE THAT USES GAS AS FUEL.
1. Place your pan or skillet on the burner you want to use. Push the
burner's control knob in and turn it to the "light" position. The flame
should ignite -- if it doesn't, turn the gas off by turning the knob all the
way to the left, and then try again. Stop and turn off the knob if the
flame doesn't light, to prevent gas from accumulating in your home.
2. Turn the knob immediately to the left once the flame is lit (but not all the
way, which will turn it off). Adjust the knob to your desired heat setting
or flame height. The larger the flame, the hotter it is and the faster your
food will cook. Visually check the flame as you adjust the knob.
3. Keep the heat low the first time you use a gas stove and cook with
butter or a cooking spray to avoid burning your food. Gas ranges cook
very quickly, so it's easy to burn your food until you get used to the way
the burners work.
4. Turn off the flame immediately when you're done cooking, by turning
the control knob all the way to the left. Make sure it is as far to the left
as possible to avoid gas leakage

IS A KITCHEN APPLIANCE THAT HEATS AND COOKS FOOD BY
EXPOSING IT TO ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN THE
MICROWAVE SPECTRUM.
2. Place the item (plate, container, mug) containing the food or drink
inside the microwave. If the food or drink is in an aluminum
container, remove and place into something that is microwave
compatible.
3. Close the door and set cook or reheat time as suggested for the
particular food or drink. If no suggestions or recommendations are
given, you may want to start with one to two minutes, depending on
the contents' temperature. If contents are frozen, you can defrost
first before actually cooking.
MINCING MACHINE –
