1. ORGANIZATION ANDCOLD SHOP EQUIPMENT

The cold shop is designed to produce a wide range of products: sandwiches, cold dishes and snacks, sweet dishes, cold soups and drinks. In the process of their preparation, most products are not subjected to heat treatment, so you need to follow the rules of sanitation and personal hygiene with particular care in the workplace. When planning a cold shop, it should be borne in mind that in summer the temperature in it should be quite low, so it is better to turn its windows to the north. A convenient connection of this workshop with the kitchen and the hall is necessary.

Refrigeration cabinets, collapsible chambers, low-temperature counters, ice makers, as well as special mechanical equipment are placed in the workshop.

To organize the workplace, cooks install modular sections - tables with a refrigerated cabinet and a slide for storing components of cold dishes, with a built-in bathtub, above which a cold and hot water mixer with a flexible hose and a shower head is mounted. Under the tabletop there is an auxiliary shelf for storing dishes and drawers. Convenient table-section with drawers and shelves, designed for installation by connecting the electrical network of small-scale mechanization.

Separate workplaces are organized in the workshop for the production of cold dishes and snacks, sweet dishes and sandwiches. From the equipment they use a universal drive, a vegetable cutter with a set of various knives, bread, sausage and ham cutters, a device for cutting butter, cheese, as well as a variety of notches, knives, dishes and forms. The design of cold dishes and snacks is of great importance, and their attractiveness depends on the form of cutting, color combination and arrangement of products, and, of course, on the qualifications of the cook. The number of necessary utensils, containers and production equipment. Determined depending on the volume of products, the range of dishes and culinary products.

It is necessary to distinguish between the preparation of meat, fish and sweet dishes. The work front of each cook should be 1/5 - 1/8 m. If tartlet baking is organized in the workshop, then a separate room is allocated for the production table and oven.

Cold dishes and snacks are prepared as they are sold, but all semi-finished products must be prepared in advance. Jellied and gelled dishes should be prepared on the eve. Vegetables, herring are processed in the morning and stored cut and whole at a temperature of 4-8 degrees Celsius. Green onions, parsley, lettuce are sorted, washed and put in the refrigerator in trays. Meat gastronomic products (sausage, ham, cheese, etc.) are cleaned earlier, and cut only when on vacation. Fish gastronomy is cut and cleaned from bones without removing the skin; cut as needed. Salads and other cold dishes are seasoned and decorated just before serving. The shelf life of unseasoned vegetable semi-finished products at a temperature of 5-6 degrees is no more than 12 hours, so it is necessary to know in advance the time of receipt of dishes in buffets and culinary shops and their quantities. The bartenders daily submit an application to the workshop and receive products 1-2 times a day.

The number of cooks in the cold shop is determined by the capacity of the enterprise. The range of cold dishes and snacks requires highly qualified workers of 4-6 categories. Chefs perform a certain amount of work, which ensures their uniform loading during the working day. The foreman of the workshop organizes the systematic release of products for the main production and its branches.

ECONOMIC SECTION

Place and role of public catering enterprises in the modern economy

Public catering is a dynamically developing branch of the economy. Due to the fact that it affects the interests of almost the entire population (both residents of the territory and visitors), public catering quickly responds to market needs.

Public catering is a branch of the social sphere, the quality of functioning of which largely determines not only the level of satisfied demand of the aggregate consumer, but also the nature of the solution of many social problems within the framework of the social policy of the state.

Public catering is becoming more and more investment attractive for foreign partners interested in the development of the restaurant business in our country.

Currently, most catering enterprises should be classified as diversified enterprises, since they satisfy not only the basic, physiological needs of visitors, but also communication needs, the need for conducting certain forms of leisure, as well as for obtaining certain cultural benefits.

In recent decades, many catering enterprises have included cultural and entertainment programs in the content of their economic activities, the supply of a certain type of cultural and leisure services. At the same time, public catering business entities act as a kind of structural subdivisions of large entertainment complexes, casinos, clubs of the so-called "leisure and entertainment" specialization. Therefore, in this context, we are talking about the interaction of the food sector with the cultural and entertainment complex.

The sphere of public catering closely interacts with the health-improving (recreational) complex. The promotion and implementation of the idea of ​​a healthy lifestyle in practice involves the organization of dietary nutrition, "special tables" for visitors suffering from various forms of diseases, vegetarian food, etc.

The services of catering establishments form the corresponding demand within the framework of a wide tourist infrastructure. Public catering closely interacts with the tourist and excursion complex and at the same time acts as an important factor in the formation of tours. In this case, we are talking about tourists using catering services. This, in turn, creates conditions for integrated territorial development through the multiplier effect through an increase in the business activity of the region and its investment attractiveness. By creating new jobs in the industry, expanding the tourist infrastructure and increasing the efficiency of its functioning, public catering solves both economic and social functions.

Thus, modern public catering enterprises can closely interact with various industry complexes:

food, trade and marketing, tourist and excursion, recreational, cultural and entertainment complex of social protection of the population.

At the same time, public catering can perform the functions of both collectively organized catering and individually organized catering. Collectively organized catering is understood as the service by the restaurant business of wide social strata of consumers who have a common place for consuming other services and (and) collectively perform strictly defined social functions.

The role of the public catering industry in the processes of interpenetration of national cultures is also great. Catering enterprises act as a kind of conductors of national culinary art, national cuisine, national traditions of cooking and eating food. We are talking about solving strictly defined global social problems at the planetary level. Initially, forming outside the sectoral economy, these tasks are transferred to the level of specific enterprises.

Thus, summing up, it should be concluded that the public catering sector plays an important role in solving many global socio-economic problems of the country and the region as a whole.

To prepare vegetable caviar from zucchini or eggplant, prepared zucchini is stewed, and the eggplant is baked in the oven, after which the skin is removed from them. Tomatoes are scalded with boiling water and the skin is removed. Onions are sautéed in vegetable oil, tomato puree is added and sautéed again. Chilled zucchini or eggplant is passed through a meat grinder, combined with prepared vegetables and boiled until thickened. The thickened and cooled mass is seasoned with pepper, vinegar and vegetable oil. Sprinkle with herbs on vacation.

Cold fish dishes include: caviar, salmon, salmon, salmon, natural and minced herring, aspic fish, marinated fish, mayonnaise fish, stuffed fish.

Natural herring is preliminarily cut into fillets, then cut into pieces, placed in a herring tray in the form of a whole fish with a head (without gills) and a tail, decorated with onions, herbs; boiled potatoes are served separately.

To prepare jellied fish, it is cut into a full fillet, cut into portions and boiled. The resulting broth is combined with fish waste broth and filtered. Gelatin, previously soaked in cold water, is put into the hot broth, dissolved, the broth is cooled to 60 °, if the broth is cloudy, a guy is introduced, seasoned with salt and filtered. Jelly is poured on a baking sheet, allowed to harden, put fish on it, decorate with carrots, lemon, parsley. Decorated pieces of fish are poured again and cooled. Jellied fish is served with sauce - horseradish with vinegar.

Marinated fish is often used in hospital nutrition for diets 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15. Unlike the conventional method of preparing marinade, it can be prepared by laying food in one go. Shredded carrots are placed in a cauldron, fish broth, tomato, onion, vegetable oil, sugar are added, vinegar or citric acid is added 20-30 minutes after the start of cooking and stewed until the dish is ready. On diet 5 and 10, vegetable broth is taken instead of fish broth, onion is not put on diet 5, and butter can be used instead of vegetable oil. When serving, put a piece of fish on a plate, and top with marinade and sprinkle with herbs.

Meat cold dishes include: boiled and fried meat, poultry, piglet, tongue, jelly, liver pate, jellied chicken or tongue.

Cold fried or boiled meat is served with a side dish of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce.

Jellied meat dishes (veal, tongue) are prepared from meat jelly (transparent broth with gelatin added with a meat brace).

Meat jelly is prepared from beef and pork legs and heads. After the initial treatment, they are washed well, poured with cold water (2 liters of water per 1 kg of offal), brought to a boil, removed the foam and boiled at a very low boil for 4-5 hours. Then the meat is separated from the bones, which are still boiled in the broth for 2 hours removing fat. 1.5 hours before the end of cooking, put onions and roots, and 30 minutes - bay leaf, peppercorns and salt.

The meat is cut into cubes, combined with strained broth and boiled again. Garlic is added at the end of the boil. The jelly is poured into baking sheets and cooled. When served separately give horseradish with vinegar.

Liver pate is prepared from the liver, which is pre-fried or stewed until tender. Onions are sauteed in oil. The liver is passed with browned onions twice through a meat grinder with a frequent grate, then butter, boiled milk, salt are added and the mass is well beaten out. After that, it is shaped, sprinkled with chopped egg, herbs and cooled.

Egg cold dishes include eggs with mayonnaise and garnish and eggs stuffed with herring.

The approaching holiday excites and makes you wait impatiently. Here it is already close, we figure out what will be hot, buy a bottle of wine ... But neither one nor the other will decorate the table and will not give it such refinement as cold appetizers. There is truly scope for creativity for any hostess.

A cold appetizer and a salad decorate the table, they are usually decorated with figures of vegetables or just greens, it is on them that the gaze of a guest approaching the table falls, they are designed to impress all gourmets.

What cold appetizers should be prepared for the festive table?

Let's start with the classics - aspic .

In Ancient Rus', this dish was always prepared on and. It was believed that pork was supposed to be cooked on this holiday, because the pig, the only farm animal, did not come to congratulate the newborn Jesus.

• Pork knuckle;
• pork legs - a couple;
• beef broth - per kilogram;
• salt, peppercorns, bay leaf;
• garlic - 3-4 medium heads;
• carrot.

Rinse the meat thoroughly, cut out everything that you do not like. Cut or chop the bones and rinse again. Peel carrots. Put in cold water and cook on the smallest fire for a long time. If you cook in a pressure cooker, it will be much faster, but the broth will not be as clear!

Carrots are designed to give a beautiful color to the broth, so that when everything is cooked, you can take it out. She is no longer needed here.

Strain the broth very carefully, not even through a strainer, but through a strainer with gauze: otherwise a small bone may get into the finished dish. From the bottom, do not drain into jelly at all, give it to the dog. The animal will be delighted, but he will not care about the bones! We pour two spoons of broth into a saucer and put it in the refrigerator: this is a test - whether it will harden. And we go to disassemble the meat.

The main thing here is not to skip the bones, on the one hand, and not to overfeed the dog, on the other. And then here she is sitting, with all her doomed appearance showing that it will be hard for her to help deal with the contents of the pan, but the dog is a friend of man because he is ready to take a risk ...

The meat is disassembled and chopped (can be passed through a meat grinder), finely chopped garlic, can be passed through a press; put in hot broth. Boil garlic is not worth it, he does not like too high a temperature.

We check if our broth has frozen in the refrigerator. If yes - fine, if not - add a little gelatin, it will help the jelly to harden. Gelatin is now what you will not meet! We read the instructions and act according to it.

If you want, you can somehow decorate the jelly. If you are against such excesses, lay out the meat in forms and fill it with broth. Set to freeze in the refrigerator.

Before serving, depending on your idea and the appearance of the tins, you can take out the jelly by carefully turning the tins on the dish. Or you can submit it directly in the form, especially if the form is beautiful, and the holiday is “for your own”. The most delicious jelly is always obtained from. Don't forget to serve a good horseradish!

Another traditional cold appetizer - diner "Napoleon" .

• Ready puff cakes;
• mayonnaise in a solid amount;
• hard-boiled eggs - 5 pcs;
• ham - about 300 g;
• cheese - 500 grams;
• pickled mushrooms - half a can.

This dish is prepared very quickly, and looks very impressive.

We literally grease the cakes a little with mayonnaise, cover with a film and set aside. They need to soften up a little.

Three eggs on a coarse grater, add grated cheese and mayonnaise to them - so much so that it is not too cool. The mass should be smeared, not molded. Stir and set the bowl aside for now.

You can choose another filling. For example, champignons with onions (lightly fried) and cheese; boiled chicken with cheese and champignons, salted or canned fish, vegetables (eggplant, sweet pepper, herbs) finely chopped and stewed with vegetable oil.

We cut the ham into neat strips, set aside in another bowl. We look through the pickled mushrooms and leave the most beautiful ones to decorate the "Napoleon".

Let's start assembling. Lubricate the first cake generously with egg-cheese mass. On top we put a little mushrooms.

We put the second and press. We grease this one only slightly, then put the ham and level it.

We put the third cake, again we press. Not him - the remains of cheese with an egg. Decorate with mushrooms. Our cake is ready, but it is advisable to keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Prepare such a cake in.

Let's cook some more rollmops And that's it for the classics.

Rollmops were invented by the Germans, adored by Poles, Swedes, Estonians. And we will try to serve them for the holiday as an appetizer for vodka - especially for patriotic people who do not drink wine.

There are over a dozen rollmops recipes. Let's try an assortment of two types.

In essence, a rollmops is a herring roll with a small amount of filling. Rollmops are supposed to be lightly marinated.

• So, herring - 10 fillets;
• carrots - 2 pcs;
• onions - 3 heads;
• garlic - 2-3 cloves;
• capers - to taste;
• pickled cucumbers - 2 pcs (large);
• wine vinegar - 500 ml;
• sunflower oil - 100 ml;
• honey - a tablespoon;
• mustard - a tablespoon;

Carrots should be grated on a coarse grater, chop the garlic, mix them and salt. Heat the oil to a boil, pour a tablespoon of vinegar into it. Pour over the carrots and let it stand until it cools down by itself (or longer).

We will analyze the herring into fillets. We pull out all the bones (you can use a magnifying glass and tweezers). Cucumbers cut into cubes, capers, if they are large - into quarters or less. Chop the onion and lightly sauté. Spread fillets with mustard, and half of them with honey.

Serve, of course, with potatoes and as an appetizer for vodka.

In one filet (without honey), we wrap pieces of cucumber and caper. In others (with honey) - spicy carrots and passivated onions.

Fasten all rollmops with toothpicks or skewers, put in a bowl and pour marinade: wine vinegar, peppercorns, brought to a boil and cooled to room temperature. Sprinkle with onion rings and leave to marinate for about a day in the refrigerator.

If you decide to have a buffet, ordinary snacks will not work. Let's try to cook baskets or vol-au-vents with salad .

Baskets can be bought at the store: messing around with them before the holiday, when there are so many things to do, is irrational.

Flounces do not take long to make yourself. To do this, we slightly roll out a layer of puff pastry, cut out several larger circles from it, and then cut out small circles from half of it with a glass to make “bagels”. Lightly grease large circles with an egg, put a “bagel” on top and bake for 7-10 minutes.

During baking, the dough will rise and you will get dough cups that can be filled with salad.

You can take any salad for filling (look), but it’s better not to be “raw”: from crab sticks, from avocados, from boiled beets. And you can also fill them with caviar, herring, chopped and mixed with butter, and so on. Surprise your parents by cooking rolled on.

To decorate the buffet table, snack cakes are perfect.

crackers

• Butter;
• soft processed cheese like "Viola": creamy and with herbs;
• you can have several slices of cold-smoked salmon;
• tomato paste;
• parsley for decoration.

In the melted cheese with herbs, add a spoonful of tomato, mix thoroughly. If you don't like the color, add a little more tomato.

We fasten the crackers in pairs, layering with butter.

Put a small piece of fish on some cakes, and squeeze beautifully creamy cheese on top with a confectionery syringe. For others - tomato cheese, decorate with parsley.

And as a light snack - stuffed chinese cabbage .

There are a lot of recipes for stuffed Chinese cabbage. We will do the simplest.

• Chinese cabbage (we need inner, softer leaves);
• cottage cheese;
• red sweet pepper;
• greenery.

Finely chop the pepper, mix with curd cheese and chopped herbs.

We will wrap it in Chinese cabbage leaves, as you like: even in envelopes, even in rolls.

And now a few more simple recipes that will delight both children and adults.

Vegetable "sticks" with sauce

• Young celery stalks;
• young carrot;
• cucumbers;
• soft processed cheese;
• Greek natural yogurt;
• garlic;
• mayonnaise;
• dill;
• radish.

Wash the petioles thoroughly and clean from coarse elements. Cut the cucumber lengthwise into 4-8 "sticks", depending on the thickness of the cucumber. We wash and peel the carrots, if it is thick, we will also cut it lengthwise, and if it is thin, we will leave it like that.

Let's make sauces:

1. Mix the melted cheese with mayonnaise, chop the dill and add it there. Pass the garlic through a press and add it to the sauce as well. Let's mix.
2. Add finely grated radishes to Greek yogurt. If it is very liquid, you can put a spoon or two of hard cheese grated on the smallest grater.

We dip the "sticks" in the sauce and eat with pleasure. Delicious sauce, instead of celery, can be spread on bread or potatoes.

Tiny sandwiches - canapes - can be prepared with anything. It is better to make 5-10 different pieces.

1. Crackers spread with curd cheese and a pitted olive.
2. The same, but sprinkled with a mixture of herbs.
3. Pieces of white bread smeared with mustard, cucumber and smoked meat.
4. The same, but grease with melted cheese and top with a slice of tomato.
5. A piece of black bread smeared with horseradish, and boiled pork on it.
6. A piece of black bread, dried in a toaster, lightly rubbed with garlic, and a sprat.
7. A slice of toaster-dried whole grain bread and finely chopped, stewed eggplant, bell pepper and tomato (cool beforehand!).

Recipes for holiday sandwiches can be found.

boats

This dish is very popular with children.

• cucumbers;
• crab sticks;
• canned corn;
• some mayonnaise;
• red bell pepper.

Wash the cucumbers, cut in half lengthwise, take out the inside with a spoon.

It is not required, it can be cut somewhere in.

Finely chop the crab sticks, mix with corn and lightly season with mayonnaise and salt.

Wash the pepper, remove the seeds.

We cut out sharp triangles from it - these are the sails of our "boats".

We insert a wooden skewer into each boat, pricking a “sail” on it.

The boats are ready to sail for the children's party.

And finally cheese balls .

• Cheese hard or semi-hard - 500 g;
• mayonnaise;
• quiche-mish;
• almond;
• hard-boiled eggs - 3 pcs;
• sesame;
• frozen crab sticks;
• cherry.

Grate the cheese on the smallest grater, mix thoroughly with mayonnaise. Peel the eggs, grate on a fine grater. Crab sticks are also grated, without defrosting.

We divide the cheese mass into three parts. We take a little mass in the palm of our hand, make a “cake”, put the almond kernel on it, form it into a ball and wrap it in sesame seeds.

The last four dishes are perfect for a children's party.

From the second part of the mass we will make balls stuffed with quiche-mish, wrapped in crab sticks, and from the third - stuffed with cherry tomatoes, wrapped in egg and salt.

Put the balls mixed on a dish, decorate with lettuce leaves.

Bon appetit!
