Chefs cook up high attrition at 5-stars
Sunday, May 13, 2007
Another major reason is that a number of standalone speciality restaurants that are sprouting up offer chefs double the pay they earn in a 5-star hotel. These hotels offer five-star fine dinning at much affordable prices, which is what attracts the masses, says an industry expert.
Many senior chefs are themselves turning entrepreneurs. "When chefs turn entrepreneurs they have with them the vast knowledge of customer tastes and preferences, and also the knowledge of how to run a kitchen successfully. This is what gives the restaurant an edge over competition," says Nimish Bhatia, regional executive chef-South, The Grand Ashok & Intercontinental.
Besides, the availability of skilled chefs is minuscule. "The quality of graduates coming out of catering colleges is very low," says Venkatesh Bhat, corporate chef and CEO of South Indies restaurant in Bangalore.
What is organic?
Monday, May 7, 2007
Its standards for what is organic state, in part, that "organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation."
In addition, watch for labels.
A seal that says USDA Organic indicates that a food is at least 95 percent organic.
Food made with at least 70 percent organic ingredients can be labeled as such.
Food with less than 70 percent organic ingredients may say so but can't claim to be organic.
Food products can specify organic ingredients for example, cereal with organic fruit.

Go organic or not?
The American Dietetic Association's stance is: "Although organic foods generally are grown with lower levels of pesticides, no scientific evidence shows that these foods are healthier or safer than conventionally grown foods."
"Everyone approaches this from where they make their living or from their philosophy on what they feel is the right answer," says Millie Mattfeldt-Beman, head of nutrition studies at St. Louis University.
Nutrition
Regardless of whether you eat conventional or organic, if you eat more fruits and vegetables and watch portion sizes, you'll be healthier, says Connie Diekman, head of nutrition for Washington University and president-elect of the American Dietetic Association.
Consumers spent $13.8 billion on organic food in 2005, says a study at the University of California at Davis. And sales have been growing by about 20 percent a year.

1,700 Indian cooks working in Tokyo!
Japanese warm to real curries and more
It's happening all over the country: Gourmands are ripping apart freshly baked naan bread and using it to mop up fiery-colored curries containing wicked concoctions of true Indian spices. Yes, authentic Indian food is now widely available all over Japan.

According to A.P.S. Mani, who heads Indian Community Activities Tokyo, "there are 1,700 Indian cooks working in the Kanto region (Tokyo and surrounding areas) and 500 in the rest of Japan, while there are at least 800 Indian restaurants in the country."
But this is surely the tip of a chilled lassi (Indian yoghurt drink) iceberg that includes the widespread availability of Indian spices and ingredients in shops, and growing interest in Indian cookery.
Organic Foods - The next Big thing
Organic food sales have grown at an annual pace of about 20 percent between 1997 and 2005, the most recent data available, according to the Organic Trade Association, a trade group counting growers, distributors and retailers among its nearly 1,600 members.
Organic foods totaled $13.8 billion in 2005 sales, or 2.5 percent of U.S. food sales, the association reported. That's up from $3.6 billion, 0.8 percent of all sales, in 1997.
Perhaps more significantly, 2005 marked the first year organic sales at traditional independent outlets, such as Pinecrest, fell below 25 percent of organic food sales, Organic Trade data show.
The independents accounted for almost $3.3 billion in sales that year compared to chain supermarkets and other mass merchandisers, such as convenience stores and club stores, at $6.3 billion and natural food chains, such as Whole Foods Market and Wild Oats, at $3.3 billion, the data show.
A December 2005 national survey by the Hartman Group, a San Francisco marketing research firm specializing on health and wellness issues, found that 73 percent of respondents reported buying an organic product occasionally.
Among those organic buyers, Hartman put 21 percent in the "core group" of people who buy organics whenever possible, 66 percent into the mid-level group that buy regularly but less frequently and 13 percent as "peripheral" buyers.
As the organic market has widened, the demographic differences between organic and mainstream food shoppers have disappeared, said Laurie Demeritt, president of the Hartman Group.
A decade ago, organic buyers tended to have higher income and education levels, Demeritt said, but that's no longer the case. Neither can organic buyers be restricted to an age group.
"Organic has nothing to do with age. It's about lifestyle and perception of health benefits," she said.
