shows that teen-agers form 25% of customers while 38% of the customers are between 20 and 24years and another 23% belong to the age group of 25-29 years.

Students and young professional comprise around 72% of our customers.

18% of the customers visit the cafes daily while another 44% visit weekly. Each café, depending upon its size attracts between 500 and 800 customers daily, mainly between 4pm and 7 pm. Customers describe Café Coffee Day as the place they frequent most after “home and workplace/college”.

It is a place where they meet friends and colleagues, in groups of 3 or more; a place where they rejuvenate and are free to be themselves rather than a place to be “seen at” vis a vis other cafes.

Braised lentils with pan-fried duck breast

250g Puy lentils 2 tbsp sherry vinegar 2 tbsp walnut oil (or good extra-virgin olive oil) Salt and pepper 4 small duck breasts, skin on 2 tbsp olive oil 1 red onion, cut in half and thinly sliced 4 small Portobello mushrooms (about 200g), thickly sliced 1/2 cup chopped parsley

Method  Rinse the lentils and place in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to the boil over

medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the lentils are cooked but retain some bite. Top up with boiling water if necessary. Drain lentils and set aside. Mix 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1 tablespoon walnut oil and drizzle over the warm lentils, allowing the flavors to absorb. Season well with salt and pepper. With a sharp knife, make several incisions in the duck skin. Season well with salt and pepper. Heat oil in pan. Add duck, skin-side down. Cook for six to eight minutes, turn the duck over and continue to cook for another four minutes. Check the breast is cooked, just a little pink on the inside. Remove from heat and wrap loosely in foil. Rest for five minutes. Using the same pan, with the reserved duck fat from cooking the meat, gently cook the onions for a few minutes to soften. Add mushrooms and cook for a further five minutes. Remove from heat and gently fold through the warm lentils. Sprinkle with parsley and divide between four plates. Top with the duck breast and drizzle over remaining oil and vinegar.

Boiling

Page 43: 228918 633864109605532045

Boiling:In cookery, boiling is cooking food in boiling

water, or other water-based liquid such as stock or milk. Boiling can be done in two ways: The food can be placed into already rapidly boiling water and left to cook, the heat can be turned down and the food can be simmered; or the food can also be placed into the pot, and cold water may be added to the pot. This may then be boiled until the food is satisfactory. Water on the outside of a pot, i.e. a wet pot, actually increases the time it takes the pot of water to boil. The pot will heat at a normal rate once all excess water on the outside of the pot evaporates.

Page 44: 228918 633864109605532045

BOILING

Advantages:Older, tougher, cheaper cuts of meat and

poultry can be made digestible It is appropriate for large-scale cookery Nutritious, well flavored stock is produced It is safe and simple Maximum color and nutritive value is

retained when cooking green vegetables, provided boiling time is kept to the minimum

Page 45: 228918 633864109605532045

Disadvantages:There is a loss of soluble vitamins in the

water Boiling water with the lid on wears out the

pot It can be a slow method Foods can look unattractive

BAKING

Baking is the technique of prolonged cooking of food by dry heat acting by conduction, and not by radiation, normally in an oven. It is primarily used for the preparation of bread, cakes, pastries and pies, tarts, and quiches. It is also used for the preparation of baked potatoes; baked apples; baked beans; some pasta dishes, such as lasagne; and various other foods, such as the pretzel.

Page 49: 228918 633864109605532045
Page 50: 228918 633864109605532045

Advantages of baking

. •As far as healthy food is concerned, baked food comes first in this category because baked food items are low in fat.

How they are low fat? Just think about the baking environment and you can easily understand why it has low

fat content. Baking is done in area which is fully covered and no heat is passed outside until you open its door. So this stored heat helps in releasing natural energy/fat from the

food (like meat) and in this way very little amount of oiling is done in the start which is just for triggering the process of

baking.•Baked foods are full of tastes as it cooks more within its own oil, so its very juicy and rich in flavor if cooked with accurate

time, temperature and measured ingredients, otherwise baked item will become too dry, hard and will not taste good.

HISTORY

Tequila was first produced in the 16th century near the location of the city of Tequila, which was not officially established until 1656. The Aztec people had previously made a fermented beverage from the agave plant, which they called octli (later, and more popularly called pulque), long before the Spanish arrived in 1521. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their own brandy, they began to distill this agave drink to produce North America's first indigenous distilled spirit.

Some 80 years later, around 1600, Don , the Marquis of Altamira, began mass-producing tequila at the first factory in the territory of modern-day Jalisco. By 1608, the colonial governor of Nueva Galicia had begun to tax his products.

The tequila that is popular today was first mass-produced in the early 1800s in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Don Cenobio Sauza, founder of Sauza Tequila and Municipal President of the Village of Tequila from 1884-1885, was the first to export tequila to the United States. Don Cenobio's grandson Don Francisco Javier gained international attention for insisting that "there cannot be tequila where there are no agaves!" His efforts led to the practice that real tequila can only come from the State of Jalisco

production

Page 55: 228918 633864109605532045

Manufacturing process Harvesting the agave plant remains a manual effort, unchanged

by modern farming technologies, and stretching back hundreds of years. The agave is planted, tended, and harvested by hand. The men who harvest it, the "jimadores", possess generations of knowledge about the plants and the ways in which they need to be harvested. The jimadores must be able to work swiftly in the tight rows, pull out the Hijuelos (Agave offspring) without damaging the mother plant, clear the pines (Spanish for pineapples), and decide when each plant is ready to be harvested . Too soon and there are not enough sugars, too late and the plant will have used its sugars to grow a quiote (20-40 foot high stem), with seeds on the top that are then scattered by the wind. The pines, weighing 40 to 70 pounds, are cut away with a special knife called a coa. They are then shredded, their juices pressed out and put into fermentation tanks and vats. Some tequila companies still use the traditional method (artisanal) in which the pines are crushed with a Tahona (stone wheel)

Page 60: 228918 633864109605532045

The musto, (Agave juice, and sometimes the fiber) is then allowed to ferment in either wood or stainless steel vats for several days to convert the sugars into alcohol. Each company keeps its own yeast a closely guarded secret. The fermented product is then distilled once to produce what is called "ordinario", a cloudy or milky liquid, and then distilled for a second time to produce a clear, silver Tequila. Some distilleries distill the product again to produce a triple distilled product. From there the Tequila is diluted and bottled as a "silver Tequila", or it is pumped into barrels to begin the aging process.

There is a clear difference in taste between tequila that is made from lowland and highland agave plants. Agave plants that are grown in the highlands often have more fruit flavor due to the growing process. The plants are grown on west-facing slopes, allowing them to receive the most amount of sunlight throughout the day. These plants are taller, wider, and juicier. Agave grown in the lowlands have more earthy flavors, and are typically on the smaller side.

Page 62: 228918 633864109605532045

Types of Tequila There are two basic categories of tequila: mixtos and 100% Agave. Mixtos

use up to 49% of other sugars in the fermentation process, with Agave taking up the remainder. Mixtos use both glucose and fructose sugars.

With 100% agave tequila, blanco or plata is harsher with the bold flavors of the distilled agave up front, while reposado and añejo are smoother, subtler, and more complex. As with other spirits that are aged in casks, tequila takes on the flavors of the wood, while the harshness of the alcohol mellows. The major flavor distinction with 100% agave tequila is the base ingredient, which is more vegetal than grain spirits (and often more complex).

Tequila is usually bottled in one of five categories: Blanco ("white") or plata ("silver") – white spirit, un-aged and bottled or

stored immediately after distillation, or aged less than two months in oak barrels;

Joven ("young") or oro ("gold") – un-aged "blanco" tequila, blended with rested or aged tequilas, and often with caramel coloring, sugar-based syrup, glycerin, and/or oak extract added so as to resemble aged tequila;

Reposado ("rested") – aged a minimum of two months, but less than a year in oak barrels;

Añejo ("aged" or "vintage") – aged a minimum of one year, but less than 3 years in oak barrels;

Extra Añejo ("extra aged" or "ultra aged") – aged a minimum of three years in oak barrels. This category was established in March 2006

Page 63: 228918 633864109605532045

AGED IN OAK BARRELS

Page 64: 228918 633864109605532045

AGING PROCESS

Reposado may be rested in barrels or casks as large as 20,000 liters, allowing for richer and more complex flavors. The preferred oak comes from US, France or Canada, and while they are usually white oak, some companies choose to char the wood for a smokey flavor, or use barrels that were previously used to hold a different kind of alcohol (e.g. whiskey, scotch, or wine in the case of Asombroso). Some reposados can also be aged in new wood barrels to achieve the same wood flavor and smoothness, but in less time.

Añejos are often rested in barrels that have been previously used to rest reposados. The barrels cannot be more than 600 liters, although most are stored in barrels of about 200 liters. Many of the barrels used are from whiskey or bourbon distilleries in America, France, or Canada (the most popular being Jack Daniels), resulting in the dark color and more complex flavors of the añejo tequila. Since most people who agree that after 4 years of aging the tequila is at its best, the añejo can be removed from the wood barrels and placed in stainless steel tanks to reduce the amount of evaporation that can occur in the barrels.

Tequila glasses

When served neat (without any additional ingredients), tequila is most often served in a narrow shot glass called a caballito ("Little Horse" in Spanish), but can often be found in anything from a snifter to a tumbler.The Consejo Regulador del Tequila (Tequila Regulatory Council) approved an "official tequila glass" in 2002 called the Ouverture Tequila glass, made by Riedel.The margarita glass, rimmed with salt, sugar, or plain, is a staple for the entire tequila/fruit mixed drink genre, including the margarita itself

TEA

Page 70: 228918 633864109605532045

TEA

Tea is picked during the 'flush' or growth phases of the tea bush. In India these growth periods occur during December and January, but it is all year round in Sri Lanka. April onwards is the best period for China teas.

For good quality tea only the bud and top two youngest leaves are picked. A skilled picker will pick thirty to sixty pounds of tea per day. A pound of manufactured tea may require as many as 3,000 shoots.

For black tea, oxidation of then takes place from twenty minutes up to three hours. Black tea will have been picked on a clear morning when the dew has just evaporated.

Page 71: 228918 633864109605532045

Page 72: 228918 633864109605532045
Page 73: 228918 633864109605532045

Picked tea is withered on mesh racks for between 8 and 24 hours. Any stalks or impurities are removed by sieving. Tea must be manufactured near the tea gardens as it must be made from freshly plucked leaves.

In the orthodox method, tea is crushed by rolling, releasing juices onto the surface of the leaf.

Page 75: 228918 633864109605532045

It is pruned every two to four years to keep its height down to a manageable three feet with a flat top for ease of picking. Left unpruned, a tea bush would grow to become a tree of 30-40 feet in height. In this natural state tea is used for seed production.

Tea is grown from as far north as the Russian republic of Georgia to as far south as Santos in Brazil. Tea cultivation requires warm, sub-tropical climates with high rainfall of over 50 inches per annum and it grows at altitudes up to 7,000 feet on acidic soils.

 What are the types of Tea? Tea is known by the terms White, Green, Oolong and Black. The types are references to processing and oxidization. The simplest explanation is to think of leaf that is picked or falls from any bush. The leaf turns stages of colors until it is finally black. In the case of tea, oxidization is stopped at various stages.

White Tea : non-oxidized Green Tea : non-oxidized Oolong Tea : semi-oxidized Black Tea : fully-oxidized

 Tea Tasting & Glossary Tea Tasting is an art. It is very important for pricing and quality bench marking. As such, each and every lot produced is different in certain characteristics. Below are some of the terms used when tasting teas :

Aroma: The odor of the tea liquor. Body: The tactile sensation of weight and substance

of liquor experienced in the mouth. Full: Describes a liquor possessing color, strength,

PROCEDURE OF SERVING TEA

Gather the essentials for any proper tea. A teapot of silver or bone china, a kettle to boil the water, a teapot,

a sugar bowl and cream pitcher. Use tongs for sugar cubes, a sugar spoon for granulated or raw

sugar crystals. Arrange the tea pot, sugar bowl and pitcher on a silver tray. Additional trays may be needed for serving, depending on the

size of your gathering. Use your best china cups, saucers, spoons. If serving loose tea, you will also need an infuser (steeper). Provide guests with a selection loose teas or tea bags. Provide individual infusers for each guest, if a variety of loose

teas are served. If you serve only one type of tea, brew it in the pot. If serving

several types, fill the pot with boiling water.

SERVING TEQUILA

Serving tequila

Tequila is a fine and complex liquor and as such it should be sipped slowly. It should be served at room temperature, although some like it ice cold, keeping a bottle in the freezer- alcohol does not freeze. Traditionally most people serve it in a caballito, a small shot glass made exclusively for this purpose.

The famous Riedel Glass Company of Austria has introduced a special tequila glass. This company claims to have been the first to recognize the effect of the shape of a glass on perception and drinking pleasure of wines and alcoholic beverages.

Riedel reports that: "This elegant slender glass has a tall stem, meant to lift fine tequila to the level it deserves, to accord it the appreciation and respect of which it is worthy."

However, the traditional caballito is still the favorite glass to enjoy Blanco and reposado. Añejo is preferably served in a snifter so that its aroma is fully appreciated.

Blanco and reposado may be accompanied by sangrita made of tomato and orange juice with salt and chilly.

The tequila shots and slammers, with salt on one hand and a bite of lemon or lime, is Hollywood stuff and few people, mostly tourists, drink it that way. However, some people do put some lime juice in the tequila or bite the lime before sipping it. In many restaurants throughout Mexico they bring you a small tray with your favorite brand, a caballito with sangrita, salt and half a lime.

Whereas straight tequila may be an acquired taste, plenty of drinkers enjoy it as the base of their cocktails.

The margarita is one of the most famous of all, but you have to make it correctly.

Experts insist you should avoid using bottled lime juice since it adds an overly sweet taste. Use fresh limes hand picked at the local market or supermarket; the best ones should be a bit soft when you squeeze them since these should contain the most juice.
