How to make Coconut Macaroons

If you are looking for coconut cookies, then nothing beats the coconut macaroons. Commercially made coconut macaroons are generally dense, moist and sweet, and often dipped in chocolate. Homemade macaroons and other versions of coconut cookies produced by smaller bakeries are commonly light and fluffy, as though they were a cross between macaroons, meringues and nougat. Macaroons made with coconuts are often piped out with a star shaped tip, whereas macaroons made with nuts are more likely shaped individually due to the stiffness of the dough. This recipe for macaroons is popular among bakeries and cooking enthusiasts.

How to Start a Restaurant and Catering Business

Starting a business can be a rewarding undertaking, but it comes with its challenges. Before starting a business, it is wise to do your research. Ask yourself if you are truly suited for entrepreneurship and understand that significant effort may be required. You should thoroughly enjoy the field you are getting into and you must believe in your service; it may consume much of your time, especially in the start-up phase. There are several issues to consider such as regulations, financing, taxation, managing your business, advertising and much more.

Maintaining High Health Standards

As a restaurant operator or food caterer, your main preoccupation should be to maintain high health standards. Maintaining traffic in your restaurant depends on it, as your restaurant will probably be inspected and appraised. Important steps to take into consideration when dealing with health issues include:

• food temperature control;

• protection of food from contamination;

• employee hygiene and hand washing;

• maintenance and sanitation of surfaces and equipment that come into contact with food;

• maintenance and sanitation of surfaces and equipment that do not come into contact with food; • maintenance and sanitation of washrooms;

• storage and removal of waste; and

• pest control.

Food Safety

To be successful in the catering business, one must produce delicious food that is safe and wholesome. The production of safe foods is your responsibility. Time and temperature abuse of foods contaminated with foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella, Campylobacter and Escherichia coli O157:H7, will certainly lead to a foodborne outbreak that would likely destroy your reputation and business. Foodborne illness can be avoided if you and your employees follow safe food handling practices.

• Purchase high-quality foods from a reliable vendor. The food should be in good condition with the packaging intact, fresh (not beyond expiration date), and at the proper temperature.
