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!

Michele Evans knows there is nothing so satisfying to a hostess as a happy, well-fed crowd. She also knows that even the most confident cook might easily be intimidated by the idea of cooking for more than a handful of guests. The thought of a buffet dinner for sixteen can bring visions of pots bubbling out of control or a menu of tired standbys such as roast beef and three-bean salad.   With Fearless Cooking for Crowds, all that is changed. Evans has created more than three hundred foolproof recipes specially developed for entertaining groups of eight to fifty. Whether you are planning a formal dinner for eight or a buffet brunch for fifty, you will find delicious, unusual, uncomplicated recipes for every course from hors d’oeuvres to quick and easy desserts.   Michele Evans believes that cooking for fifty is not ten times more difficult than cooking for five. The secret is organization, organization, organization—from invitations and menu planning to working with large quantities of food.  You will never again feel frantic trying to multiply your favorite dish for six for a crowd of 24. Evans has designed perfect recipes for groups of 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 50. There are accompanying charts on cooking large amounts of pasta and rice and detailed instructions for assembling a recipe for a large crowd, a seemingly daunting chore. Evans also never forgets that beautiful, delicious cooking for crowds need not be expensive.    The luscious recipes for casual or elegant meals, include: Indonesian Pork and Pineapple Ragout with Peanut Sauce for 8; Boneless Breast Coq au Vin for 12; Mixed Berry Crepes with Cassis Sauce for 12; Potato Salad with Fresh Pesto Dressing for 16; Brussels Sprouts with Red Pepper Butter for 24; Grilled Chicken and Vegetables Kebabs for 36; Ricotta, Mushroom, and Sun-Dried Tomato Strudel for 50.   Fearless Cooking for Crowds acknowledges America’s growing appreciation for large-scale entertaining, and with every recipe shows how exciting, original, and delicious cooking for crowds can be.

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.

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.
