Orientation & Training Manual for Cooks

Mealtime is the highlight in most of our days. For residents in long-term-care communities it becomes and even more important time; a time to look forward to, enjoying the camaraderie and company of other. Cooks in long-term-care facilities are responsible for customer satisfaction, budgetary requirements, following physician orders, serving the meals on time, and ensuring that even the strictest diet tastes good. This book, intended as an overview and training tool, is written in simple language, large font with enough white spaces for notes. The 3 chapters include regulatory requirements, food preparation including liberalized diets & modified textures & food sanitation & safety. It is not a lesson in how to cook but an orientation & training tool for new cooks & an excellent review tool for experienced cooks. The 50 competency questions are helpful to determine skills and competency levels & what areas need further focus. The book can be used as a self-study guide or by managers & consultants to use in training staff.
