KITCHEN ORGANIZATION & DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITES

Hierarchy of  kitchen: Classical brigade: Chef Augustus Escoffier introduced a system known as brigade in a professional kitchen. Following are the key points related to the classical brigade in a professional kitchen- ·           A professional kitchen operates with a very distinct rank just like army of soldiers , probably this is why Escoffier called it a brigade. ·           Each member of the kitchen has his/her role to play for the success of a team. ·           It was based on the various sections of the kitchen (for ex. Pastry, butchery, bakery etc.) ·           Every section was named in French. ·           Every section featured a head of department, with cooks, helpers and porters working under him/her.

FOOD THICKENING AGENTS Thickening agents, or thickeners, are substances which, when added to an aqueous mixture, increase its viscosity without substantially modifying its other properties, such as taste. They provide body, increase stability, and improve suspension of added ingredients. Examples of thickening agents include: polysaccharides (starches, vegetable gums, and pectin), proteins (eggs, collagen, gelatin, blood albumin) and fats (butter, oil and lards). All purpose flour  is the most popular food thickener, followed by  cornstarch  and  arrowroot  or  tapioca.  All of these thickeners are based on starch as the thickening agent. Cornstarch  -- Cornstarch is actually a flour. It is the endosperm of corn kernels that has been dried and ground. Corn starch is used as a thickening agent in soups and liquid-based foods, such as sauces, gravies and custard. It is sometimes preferred over flour because it forms a translucent mixture, rather than an opaque one.  Potat
