The Menial Art of Cooking: Archaeological Studies of Cooking and Food Preparation
by Sarah R. Graff Enrique Rodríguez-AlegríaAlthough the archaeology of food has long played an integral role in our understanding of past cultures, the archaeology of cooking is rarely integrated into models of the past. The cooks who spent countless hours cooking and processing food are overlooked and the forgotten players in the daily lives of our ancestors. The Menial Art of Cooking shows how cooking activities provide a window into other aspects of society and, as such, should be taken seriously as an aspect of social, cultural, political, and economic life. This book examines techniques and technologies of food preparation, the spaces where food was cooked, the relationship between cooking and changes in suprahousehold economies, the religious and symbolic aspects of cooking, the relationship between cooking and social identity, and how examining foodways provides insight into social relations of production, distribution, and consumption. Contributors use a wide variety of evidence--including archaeological data; archival research; analysis of ceramics, fauna, botany, glass artifacts, stone tools, murals, and painted ceramics; ethnographic analogy; and the distribution of artifacts across space--to identify evidence of cooking and food processing left by ancient cooks. The Menial Art of Cooking is the first archaeological volume focused on cooking and food preparation in prehistoric and historic settings around the world and will interest archaeologists, social anthropologists, sociologists, and other scholars studying cooking and food preparation or subsistence.

The Menu AND The Cycle of Cost Control
by Paul J Mcvety Susan D Marshall Bradley J WareThe 6th edition of The Menu and the Cycle of Cost Control features current information on menu development, trends and concepts, cost control and sales analysis documents, industry-related law and requirements, as well as the necessary control procedures and mathematical processes to help to control costs and analyze sales. Almost every procedure discussed, from recipe costing to labor cost controls, can be accomplished using a Point of Sales (POS) system with the right configurations. The POS can provide the business's cost and sales information often by simply running a report. However, what good is the information (a bunch of numbers and percentages) if a manager does not know what the information is indicating? Therefore, it is even more important to know how the information was calculated and what the information means so the results can be utilized to the business's advantage. To put it simply, all formulas within the text and website are just mathematical support to the common sense of chefs and managers.
