Förr kunde det hända att kyparen liksom räknade fel. I branschen talade man om att salta notan. Att den mätta och belåtna kunden gärna kunde luras att betala några tior för mycket. Idag är krogfusket satt i system. Ingen har förmodligen mixtrat med slutsumman. Det är istället maten det handlar om. Om förfalskade menyer och mängder av dolda tillsatser. Med Den hemlige kocken öppnade Mats-Eric Nilsson hundratusentals konsumenters ögon. Plötsligt såg vi vad livsmedelsbutikernas produkter egentligen innehåller och började leta efter äkta varor. Med Saltad nota tar han nu nästa steg. I den nya boken avslöjas även här med intressanta historiska tillbakablickar det utbredda matfusket på allt från enkla kaféer och snabbmatsställen till lyxiga restauranger. Ärligt talat har du ingen aning om vad som ligger på tallriken. När du handlar i en vanlig butik har du åtminstone den finstilta innehållsförteckningen att gå efter. Men på krogen blir din beställning som ett skott i mörkret. Allt fler svenskar äter ute. Tevekockarna är lika populära som rockstjärnor. Dags alltså för världens första bok som på allvar granskar restaurangbranschen. Och som guidar dig förbi de värsta fällorna! "En briljant reportagebok som öppnar dörrarna till en matindustri som verkar mer intresserad av att tjäna pengar än laga bra mat." Johan Såthe, Veckans Affärer "En riktig rysare, välskriven och välresearchad. Med stor sannolikhet blir detta höstens matdebatt." Kris Johnson, Allt om mat

Den Gyldene Freden är krogarnas krog. Den mest klassiska. Nya restauranger med stjärnor uppmärksammas och blommar för en kort tid. Ett fåtal är bestående. Freden gäller i alla tider. Och här är Svenska Akademien en intressent inte bara som ständiga gäster, tack vare konstnären Anders Zorns gåva. Gösta Arvidsson berättar i denna bok om Freden, grundligt och härligt intressant med gedigen Stockholmshistoria på köpet och fantastiska detaljer som härmed bevaras till kommande generationer. Människorna stiger fram, Carl von Linné, Carl Michael Bellman, Erik Johan Stagnelius, mängder av andra skalder, konstnärer, skådespelare, musiker, vetenskapsmän, några kvinnor, krögare med och utan framgång, penningproblem, myndighetskrångel i oändlighet, sviktande grund i bokstavlig mening, smygvägar in i huset, hyresgäster, skurkar, välgörare. Och gästerna framförallt, intill nutidens mest kända namn. Så elegant sammanfattar Magdalena Ribbing, matkännare, journalist och författare bokens innehåll i förordet. Berömdheterna har alltid suttit vid de slitna borden och spisat sina favoriträtter med lämplig dryck därtill, stamgästen Evert Taube kanske längst av alla. Atmosfären finns bara här, i de murriga väggarna och genom skarpsynta servitriser, lyhörda hovmästare och kockar som lagat till paradrecept. Vi ses på Freden! är en initierad och faktafylld restauranghistoria, kulturhistoria, och stadshistoria allt samtidigt. Här presenteras också nya uppgifter om vad som tilldragit sig. Konstnären Lars Melanders illustrationer i form av träffsäkra teckningar och färgstarka akvareller lyfter ytterligare innehållet och hör boken till en fröjd också för ögat. Gösta Arvidsson är författare, bosatt i Sollentuna och Fårösund. Han skriver stora och mindre böcker om konst och konsthantverk, personhistoria och krogliv. Bland hans utgivna titlar finns omfattande studier av Gustavsbergs historia och flera monografier av enskilda keramiker/formgivare. Lars Melander är konstnär, bosatt i Blackeberg/Stockholm och arbetar i olja, akryl och akvarell liksom med teckningar i tusch. Han är också illustratör i böcker och tidskrifter. En helhetsbild av hans konstnärskap ges i boken Den rastlösa penseln, skriven av Gösta Arvidsson. Melander är även jazzmusiker. Tillsammans har Arvidsson och Melander tidigare givit ut böckerna Vi ses på Baren! och Vi ses på Stopet!, båda formgivna av Petter Antonisen och förlagda av Carlsson Bokförlag. Dessa båda omfattande titlar skildrar Operabarens respektive Tennstopets historia. Av samma team presenteras i denna volym, Vi ses på Freden!, den tredje ambitiösa berättelsen om en klassisk Stockholmskrog. Det är böcker som bygger på omfattande arkivstudier och en genomgång av befintlig litteratur, av intervjuer och andra källor. Sammantaget utgör dessa tre arbeten en unik satsning av bred och djup restauranghistoria av bestående värde.

The classic bestseller from the star of Parts Unknown and No Reservations: 25th Anniversary edition, with a new introduction by Irvine Welsh.BEFORE THERE WAS THE BEAR, THERE WAS BOURDAIN.‘Elizabeth David written by Quentin Tarantino’ A.A. Gill‘Fantastic: as lip-smackingly seductive as a bowl of fat chips and pungent aioli’ Daily TelegraphAfter twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine, chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain decided to tell all – and he meant all.From his first oyster in the Gironde as a child, to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain’s tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny.Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water and your belly ache with laughter and leave you wanting more.‘Compelling … with its intriguing mix of clever writing and kitchen patois … more horrifically gripping than a Stephen King novel’ Sunday Times‘Extraordinary … written with a clarity and a clear-eyed wit to put the professional food-writing fraternity to shame’ Observer

Work in the construction industry is particularly tough. It demands excessively long hours and frequent weekend work. Other characteristics are particularly marked, such as re-location, job insecurity and distinctive behavioural patterns, which negatively affect employees’ personal lives further. Work–life balance has emerged as one of the most pressing management issues in the 21st century. For construction managers dealing with traditional models of work and rigid work schedules, the issue may be especially difficult to manage, and yet the work–life balance is now recognised as an issue of strategic importance to the construction industry. It is critical to the construction industry’s continued ability to attract and retain a talented workforce, and it is also inextricably linked to organizational effectiveness and employees’ well-being. This book presents the argument for the management of work–life balance in the construction industry. It maps the changes to the workforce demographic profile and the changing expectations relating to work and personal life that occurred during the second half of the 20th century. Legal imperatives for managing work–life balance are set out. It also presents work–life balance theory and discusses the practical implications of research, along with extensive empirical data collected from the industry. Lastly, practical advice is provided about what construction organizations can and should do to manage work–life balance. This provides a unique guide to a key issue.

Understanding the global hotel business is not possible without paying specific attention to hotel chain management and dynamics. Chains are big business, approximately 80 percent of hotels currently being constructed around the world are chain affiliated and, in 2014, the five largest brands held over a one million rooms. The high economic importance of the hotel chains and their global presence justifies the academic research in the field however, despite this, there is no uniform coverage in the current body of literature.This Handbook aids in filling the gap by exploring and critically evaluates the debates, issues and controversies of all aspects of hotel chains from their nature, fundamentals of existence and operation, expansion, strategic and operational aspects of their activities and geographical presence. It brings together leading specialists from range of disciplinary backgrounds and regions to provide state-of-the-art theoretical reflection and empirical research on current issues and future debates. Each of the five inter-related section explores and evaluates issues that are of extreme importance to hotel chain management, focusing on theoretical issues, the expansion of hotel chains, strategic and operational issues, the view point of the individual affiliated hotel and finally the current and future debates in the theory and practice of hotel chain management arising from globalisation, demographic trends, sustainability, and new technology development. It provides an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in hotel management, hospitality, tourism and business encouraging dialogue across disciplinary boundaries and areas of study. This is essential reading for students, researchers and academics of Hospitality as well as those of Tourism, Marketing, Business and Events Management.

Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn inspired a revival of artisanal sausage making and bacon curing with their surprise hit, Charcuterie. Now they delve deep into the Italian side of the craft with Salumi, a book that explores and simplifies the recipes and techniques of dry curing meats. As the sources and methods of making our food have become a national discussion, an increasing number of cooks and professional chefs long to learn fundamental methods of preparing meats in the traditional way. Ruhlman and Polcyn give recipes for the eight basic products in Italy’s pork salumi repertoire: guanciale, coppa, spalla, lardo, lonza, pancetta, prosciutto, and salami, and they even show us how to butcher a hog in the Italian and American ways. This book provides a thorough understanding of salumi, with 100 recipes and illustrations of the art of ancient methods made modern and new.

First Published in 1992. The hotel and catering industry is one of the most heterogeneous of industries, consisting as it does of businesses ranging from the most humble cafe to the largest luxury hotel. Strong images of the glamorous nature of the work are often conjured up by the popular media and sit alongside the lures o f an industry in which it is theoretically possible to rise to the top from the very lowest levels. This book provides an insight into the circumstances under which hotel and catering services are provided in reality. It is the first text to provide an overview of existing research in the industry, and Wood’s account is both wide-ranging and accessible. He highlights many previously overlooked aspects of the industry, including such characteristics as low wages, high labour turnover, lack of unionisation, and heavy-handed management, which are identified and explored in such a way as to illuminate current practice.

Over the last decade, human resource management has come to be viewed as the dominant paradigm within which analyses of the world of work have been located. This volume examines the nature and assesses the impact of HRM within a highly under-researched division of the service sector, namely the UK hotel industry.Common perceptions of management practices in the hotel industry typically include work intensification, high labour turnover, lack of training and poor career prospects, and casualised terms and conditions of employment. Using data from a survey of over 200 hotels, this book challenges such stereotypes by demonstrating that this part of the service sector is just as likely to have experimented with new approaches to HRM as the manufacturing industry. It suggests that primary influences on managerial decision-making in the hotel industry are no different from the primary influences affecting decision-making elsewhere, countering the argument that mainstream management theories are inapplicable within the hotel industry. Furthermore, where hotels emphasise the importance of service quality enhancement and where they introduce HRM as an integrated, mutually supporting package of practices, a strong relationship between HRM and organisational performance is proposed.

This edited volume is the first of its kind, providing an analysis of labour relations in this significant industry focusing on multinational corporations and large national companies in ten countries: the USA, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Russia.The extent to which multinational enterprises impose or adapt their employment practices in differing national industrial relations systems is analysed, Results reveal that the global fast-food industry is typified by trade union exclusion, high labour turnover, unskilled work, paternalistic management regimes and work organization that allows little scope for developing workers' participation in decision-making, let alone advocating widely accepted concepts of social justice and workers' rights.

Communication within project-based environments presents special challenges. This is especially true within the construction industry, where interaction tends to be characterised by unfamiliar groups of people coming together for short periods before disbanding to work on other endeavours. This book examines communication at a number of levels ranging from interpersonal interactions between project participants to corporate communication between organizations. Several non-typical perspectives on the process of communication are introduced to encourage the reader to think about communication in a more innovative manner. The combination of differing perspectives illustrates the diversity of communication problems facing those working within project-based environments. Practical guidance is provided on possible solutions to communication problems, and a number of examples and case studies are presented.
