Just the Facts: Food Safety

Chef Jonathan Locke, a professional chef for over 20 years and the head of a major food service consulting firm, hosts the nine-volume series Just the Facts—covering various aspects of cooking, from using kitchen tools to actual food preparation—which is aimed at both home cooks and those interested in a food industries career. In this volume, Chef Jon tackles the importance of proper safety in food preparation, an important topic given the fact that every year over 5,000 Americans die of a food-related illness, and a whopping one-in-four get sick. Dividing food safety into four steps—clean, separate, cook, and chill—the program combines useful tips with demonstrations of proper food handling. Students and homebodies alike will appreciate this fast-paced, informative, and highly practical video. Other titles in the Just the Facts series include: Breakfast, Cake Decorating, Knives, Microwave Ovens, Muffins, Salads, Superfoods, and Yeast. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (E. Gieschen)
