A Chef’s Career
As any chef knows, the creation or alteration of a recipe is vital to be able to serve his or her clients as they request. Having a basic recipe that is tried and true is the basis for success.
In a restaurant, a chef must recreate the dish day after day with accuracy and dependability, since the patrons want to be able to depend on the same taste that they may have ordered before.
Let’s suppose a food critic, Ego, decides to rate my restaurant and I know that the success of my career depends on his good rating.

After the decision to cook a dish, Ratatouille, that I think Ego would like, I find that he delights in your culinary skills and selection of an appropriate dish for him. The result is that I am an overwhelming overnight success!
A further result of the good rating is that I must cook more and more of that same dish. Now my math skills must play an important part to be able to make a proportional recipe.

To double the quantities of items with a whole number amount is easy, but what about those fractions?
Let’s focus on the 1 1/3 cups uncooked spiral pasta. To double that, we multiply by 2.
1 1/3 x 2
Change each fractional amount to an improper fraction.
= 4/3 x 2/1
Multiply numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator to get:
= 8/3
Now simplify.
= 2 2/3 cups of pasta

    A good level of stationary stock should always be maintained and controlled because it makes processing easier and saves wasting time. Usually a company will have one person in charge of the stock and that person will have the duties of maintaining any stock. Smaller companies are easier to maintain than larger ones. Large companies can have much more of a hard-hitting task as they will need a lot more stock or stationary. Also within a larger company there will be more departments so it will be made a little harder. The person responsible has to bare in mind any budgets the employer/manager had put in place. There are different ways of which you can control the levels of the stock but these are yet again different with each and every company. A weekly or fortnightly check on stock is usually the most effective way. Checking stock levels will also help to notice what stationary is used more within their company. This will show what is more relevant in buying. If…

    The lymphatic system can also be known as the immune system. White blood cells are located near places where there could be pathogens entering, such as the tonsils. They are found in these places because they protect entry into the body. If pathogens do try to enter then the white blood cells will become activated and will attack the area of infection. They become activated when the dendritic cell engulfs neutrophils which contain the remains of pathogens that they have killed. The dendritic cells travel in lymph to the lymph nodes where it is chemically directed to co-operate with T helper cells that have receptors that are able to recognise proteins from…

    In the era that we live in, computers hold our very existence by having all of our information saved to them. From pictures of our families, to person documents like tax forms or medical records, almost all of these things are stored in some electronic form. This information is typically stored on computers with only one copy of the information, but what would happen if that computer or multiple computers failed? What would happen to all that important information and memories? In some cases they can be recovered but at a high cost. Most data recovery services can cost up to $2000.00 dollars to recover lost data. This can all be avoided by backing up data periodically.…

    Fractions are ways to represent parts of a whole. Common fractions are ½ and ¾. These are proper or regular fractions. Some fractions are called mixed numbers. These are represented by a whole number with a fraction (proper fraction). 1 ½ and 2 ¾ are good examples. An improper fraction has a larger number on the top than on the bottom, such as 9/8. I will explain how to convert these fractions to decimals. I will show you how to change an improper fraction to a mixed number. Operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) will be explained as well.…
