Food Pyramid:

The food pyramid is used to correct the mistakes in our eating habits.

It is divided in 4 sections. Each section shows the right proportion of food we need in our diet.


At the base of the food pyramid, we find cereals (bread, pasta, rice ...)

then we find fruit and vegetables

then we find proteins (dairy products, meat, fish, eggs)

at the top we find fats (oil butter), sugar, alcohol

Dà i principi fondamentali di una dieta salutare: varietà, equilibrio e moderazione.

E 'divisa in 4 sezioni. Ogni sezione mostra la giusta proporzione di cibo di cui abbiamo bisogno nella nostra dieta.


Alla base della piramide alimentare, troviamo i cereali (pane, pasta, riso ...)

Let’s talk about menus

1. What should a menu be like? Circle the answer you think is best.

big / small

colourful / black & white

one language only / translated into other languages

printed / handwritten

expensive / cheap

with pictures / without pictures

Key words:

  • menu = list of foods and drinks offered in a bar, restaurant, orsimilar catering establishment
  • course = the successive division of a meal: soups, fish, main course, etc.
  • diner = person who eats a meal

MENU COMPILATION

should be compiled by a number of people working together in strict collaboration: the Head Chef, the Maître d’Hôtel and the Manager.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MENU

The menu influences customers and when creating menus, chefs and restaurateurs appeal to certain market segments. They create the a tmosphere of the restaurant through the décor, furniture and uniforms, but also through the menu. Whatever the restaurant type may be, ethnic or gourmet or fast food, the physical ambience together with the items on the menu contribute to create a complete image to meet the clients’ needs.

TYPES OF MENU

There are two major types of menus:

  • table d’hôte
  • à la carte

In addition, there are two minor types:

  • coffee shop menu
  • carte du jour

Table d’hôte

It is defined by the following points:

  • fixed number of courses
  • possible choice of courses
  • fixed price
  • all dishes ready at a set time

table d’hôte menu is presented alone or in conjunction with an à la carte or carte du jourmenu.

À la carte

In English, à la carte translates literally as ‘on the card’ and a typical à la carte menu features:

  • full list of prepared dishes
  • separately priced dishes
  • dishes that can require longer preparation times
  • dishes that are prepared toorder

An a la carte menu is generally presented alone in first-class establishments, or with atable d’hote or carte du jour menu in smaller establishments. Tire dishes may change according to the season.

Different kinds of Menus

Lunch

lunch

  1. What state is Woody’s Crab House in?
  2. What is the house specialty? How is it served?
  3. How much is the chicken salad?
  4. Is the Carolina Burger made of meat?
  5. When was Woody’s Crab House founded?
  6. Does it belong to a chain or to a franchised restaurant?
  7. Does Woody want people to bring their children to his restaurant?

Dinner

Now, talking about dinner we might enjoy the following clip about the behind the scenes regarding the preparation of the United Kingdom State Dinner at the White House. Of course this is no common dinner…  Enjoy

Spinach and ricotta pie

mercoledì 5 novembre 2014

14:59

 

Torta Pasqualina is an Italian pie with a lovely spinach and ricotta filling. It's an Eastertradition but you can enjoy it any time of year!

 

 

  • 1hour10min

 

Ingredients

Serves: 6 

 

  • 300g fresh spinach

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 350g ricotta cheese

  • 80g Parmesan cheese, grated

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 packet filo pastry

  • 70g melted butter

  • 6 egg yolks

 

 

Directions

Preparation:30min  ›  Cook:40min  ›  Ready in:1hour10min 

 

  1. Place the spinach in a frying pan over medium heat and cook until wilted. Drain, squeeze dry and chop finely.

  2. Heat a knob of butter in the frying pan and add the onion. Cook until soft, adding the spinach for the last minute or two. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.

  3. Once the spinach mixture has cooled slightly, mix in the ricotta, Parmesan, two whole eggs, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

  4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Butter a 23cm tart tin or pie dish. Unwrap the filo and keep a damp cloth over the stack of sheets to prevent them from drying out whilst you work.

  5. Lay a sheet of filo over the buttered dish. Instead of laying it centred over the dish, lay it to the side so that excess filo hangs over only one side of the dish. Brush lightly with butter, then top with another sheet of filo, at a slight angle to the first one. Continue in this manner, with up to 12 sheets, brushing between sheets and working clockwise to lay each at a slight angle to the previous sheet.

  6. Tip the cheese and spinach mixture into the filo-lined dish. Spread out evenly. Using the back of a spoon, make six indentations in the filling, then place a egg yolk in each. Season each yolk with salt and pepper, then drizzle each with a bit of melted butter.

  7. Take the extra filo hanging over the edge of the dish and fold it over to the centre to cover the filling. Bring each sheet of filo over one at a time and brush each one with butter. End by brushing the top of the whole pie with butter.

  8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the filo pastry is a dark golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
