What is HACCP? let's decode this

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points – a fancy way of saying “let’s keep food safe at every step!” It’s like having a superhero team guarding your food from farm to fork. Here’s how it works, in everyday words:

1. Hazard Analysis

What could go wrong?

Think of all the possible bad stuff – bacteria, chemicals, or even a piece of plastic – that could sneak into food. We list them out so we’re prepared.

2. Critical Control Points (CCPs)

Where do we stop the danger?

These are the key moments in the kitchen or production where we must control the process – like cooking chicken to kill germs or keeping milk cold.

3. Critical Limits

What’s the magic number?

Every CCP has a limit – like “cook at 75°C or higher” or “keep below 5°C” – and we follow that rule, always.

4. Monitoring Procedures

Are we following the rules?

We keep checking – temperatures, timings, cleanliness – to make sure everything’s going right.

5. Corrective Actions

Oops! What now?

If something goes wrong, we act fast! Toss the unsafe food, fix the process, and make sure it won’t happen again.

6. Record Keeping

Let’s write it all down.

Like a food diary – we record checks, fixes, and results to show we’re doing things right and to learn from mistakes.

7. Verification (often combined in practice)

Are we sure it works?

We double-check our whole system from time to time – like a mini audit – to make sure our food safety plan is solid.

Safe food is happy food!

kakori kebab

Kakori kebab is a traditional meat dish originating from the Indian town of Kakori in Uttar Pradesh. These kebabs are famous for their tender texture and fragrant aromas. They're prepared with a combination of mutton, ghee, eggs, cinnamon, and (often) chickpeas. The meat is marinated in a mixture of onions, mace, nutmeg, cumin, cardamom, cloves, green chili peppers, coriander, salt, black pepper, and ginger and garlic paste in order to become extremely tender. After being shaped into small elongated kebabs and skewered, the meat is cooked in a tandoor until done, and it's then usually served hot with chutneys on the side. Kakori kebab is typically garnished with chaat masala, onion rings, and lemon wedges. The dish is especially popular on special occasions and festivals.

Ghost Pepper

Ghost pepper or bhut jolokia is a hot chili pepper that's cultivated in the Northeast Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. Due to the fact that it's one of the spiciest chili peppers in the world, the Indian Army even uses them to create military grade chili grenades (smoke bombs). These peppers have a Scoville heat unit ranging from 855,000 to 1,041,427 SHU. The flavors are best described as fruity, sweet, and earthy. These hybrids of Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens were proclaimed the world's hottest chili peppers in 2007 by Guinness World Records, but in 2013 the ghost pepper was superseded by Carolina Reaper, which can be twice as hot. Interestingly, locals sometimes smear ghost peppers on walls and fences to keep wild elephants at bay.

Mojito

This is one of today’s biggest selling cocktails in the world. No matter where you go in the world everyone knows what a Mojito is! I think this is the drink that has come to be from what all bartenders loved in the beginning to what all bartenders now hate to make due to all the 100s you do every night working in bars. Also I have never had a drink that can come out so differently in so many places! It is many places that struggle to get the right balance out of this cocktail. It is also because there is so many (wrong) different ways of making this classic cocktail. Before I start going in to that i would like to talk about the History of the mojito, because it do have a very interesting background to it, and as for such great cocktail it’s also many who would like to claim to be the creator of this drink! One story goes like this: In the 16th century there was a drink called" El Draque" (The Dragon) it was named in the honour of Sir Francs Drake. It was ...

It's Briefing time!
