Over time, bartenders honed their skills and expertise. By the 15th century, bartenders in Europe were primarily known as innkeepers who also produced their own spirits. BARTENDING IN MODERN TIMES Even today, bartending remains a respected profession. Following the repeal of Prohibition, numerous bars and cocktail lounges emerged across the United States. Bartending schools were established to ensure that bartenders could consistently create delightful beverages. When you hire a bartender for your next event, you can be confident that you will receive excellent drinks from a highly skilled professional. BARTENDING DURING PROHIBITION During the Prohibition era in the early 20th century, when the American government banned the sale of alcohol, bartending culture persisted. Bartenders operated in underground speakeasies, where they continued to create delicious cocktails for their patrons. Notably, some well- known cocktails, such as the gin and tonic, were invented during this period.  Made by: @academicease on Instagram C U LT U R E S O F B A R T E N DI NG I N D I F FE R E N T C OU N T R IE S Philippines The Philippines has a unique drinking culture influenced by its Austronesian heritage as well as Spanish, American, and Japanese colonial influences. Early Filipinos consumed alcohol in large quantities during ceremonies and communal activities, and drinking during meals was a customary practice. Refusing an offer of alcohol was seen as disrespectful, and community members often shared food and sang together. Korea Alcohol holds great significance in South Korean culture. It is deeply integrated into their lives and is considered almost obligatory. Koreans traditionally drink alcohol during important holidays and seasons, such as New Year, Rice Planting, and their Day of Thanks. Their drinking customs involve rituals that show respect for ancestors and elders. Japan Drinking plays an important role in Japanese work and social culture as it helps to break down the formalities associated with their society. Japanese people view drinking as a way to foster togetherness and honesty. Engaging in "Nomikai," which involves drinking with colleagues, is crucial for building work relationships and advancing one's career. America In American culture, alcohol is used for both celebration and commiseration. It serves a therapeutic role, as people often turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism after a long day or during stressful situations. Alcohol is universally associated with celebration, and it is an essential element of festive occasions across all cultures. In societies with a complex relationship with alcohol, such as the UK, US, Scandinavia, and Australia, "celebration" becomes a common excuse for drinking.  Made by: @academicease on Instagram Bartender A bartender is an individual who prepares and serves alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages behind the bar. They can be found in licensed establishments, restaurants, nightclubs, and occasionally at private parties. Bartenders also manage the supplies and inventory for the bar. Meaning of "Drinking House" in a Pub A drinking house, also known as a pub, is a venue open to the public without requiring membership or residency. It primarily serves alcoholic draught beer or cider, without mandating the consumption of food. Bar vs. Pub Bars are establishments where individuals can enjoy a wide range of alcoholic drinks. They are primarily focused on offering various types of alcohol. Pubs, on the other hand, are a modernized version of traditional public houses found in Europe since medieval times.

It is commonly grown as a staple crop worldwide and serves as a primary source of nutrition for many people. Cereal crops include wheat, rice, corn (maize), barley, oats, rye, millet, and sorghum. These grains are typically processed to produce various food products such as flour, breakfast cereals, pasta, bread, and other baked goods. Starch Starch is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a major source of energy in the human diet. It is composed of long chains of glucose molecules and is found abundantly in many plant-based foods. Starch is primarily stored in plant tissues, particularly in roots (e.g., potatoes, yams), tubers (e.g., cassava), and seeds (e.g., grains, legumes). When consumed, starch is broken down into glucose by digestive enzymes in the body, which can then be used as fuel for various metabolic processes. Starch is widely used in food production as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and texturizer, and it is also utilized in other industries for its adhesive and binding properties. 1.Rice- Rice is a primary food source for over half the global population, with 90% of the world's rice produced in Asia. There are numerous varieties of rice, but they fall into two main categories based on their processing: white or brown (whole grain). White rice is most common, but brown rice has additional health benefits. 2.Corn- Corn is a starchy vegetable and cereal grain that has been a dietary staple worldwide for centuries. It is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Despite its nutritional benefits, corn's impact on blood sugar levels has raised controversy. Varieties of Corn a. Sweet corn b. Glutinous or waxy corn c. Yellow flint d. Popcorn 3.Wheat- Wheat is one of the most widely consumed cereal grains worldwide. It originates from a type of grass (Triticum) that grows in numerous varieties globally. Bread wheat, or common wheat, is the primary species. White and whole-wheat flour are essential ingredients in many baked goods, including bread. Other wheat-based foods are pasta, noodles, semolina, bulgur, and couscous. a. Bread flour- Made from hard wheat - high gluten content, ideal for baking bread. b. All-purpose flour - A blend of soft and hard wheat flours containing 10 - 12% protein. - Suits a range of uses due to its lower gluten content compared to bread flour.  Made by: @academicease on Instagram c. Cake flour - Made from soft wheat with a 9% protein content. - More costly than bread and all-purpose flour. - Features a very fine texture and is white in color. 4.Bulgur- Is a nutritious, easy-to-prepare whole grain that serves as an excellent alternative to brown rice or quinoa when seeking variety. 5.Durum wheat- Is a variety of spring wheat typically milled into semolina to make pasta. It can also be finely ground to make flour for bread or pizza dough. 6.Sorghum or Millet- Sorghum and finger millet have long been essential staple foods in the semi-arid tropics of Africa. Nutrient-wise, these grains match or surpass other staple cereals as they provide quality protein and various minerals. 7.Barley- Is a cereal grain used in bread, beverages, stews, and other dishes. As a whole grain, barley offers fiber, vitamins, and minerals. 8.Rye (Secale cereale)- Also known as cereal rye or winter rye, is a cereal grass (Family Poaceae) and its edible grain, primarily used to make rye bread and rye whiskey. It is carbohydrate-rich and provides dietary fiber, small quantities of protein, potassium, and B vitamins. 9.Oats- Are a type of cereal grain. The seed of the plant (the oat), the leaves and stem (Oat straw), and the oat bran (The outer layer of whole oats) are all consumed. Some also use these plant parts to create medicine. Oat bran and whole oats are known for their benefits in heart disease and high cholesterol control. Lesson 2 Lesson 2: All about Pasta Pasta Understanding Pasta Pasta Pasta is one of the most versatile pantry staples - simply cook in boiling water and adorn it with some sauce and possibly some protein. Pasta is generally made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour combined with water or eggs, shaped into sheets or various forms, then cooked by boiling or baking. "Al dente," Italian for "To the tooth," is the ideal way to cook pasta in our view. It means that the pasta should offer a bit of resistance when bitten, not being hard but having a slight bite to it.  Made by: @academicease on Instagram Angel Hair Pasta The slender, delicate strands of angel hair pasta (Also known as "Capellini" or "Fine hair") are best served with light or creamy sauces.

Egg Noodles Egg noodles are somewhat more adaptable than regular white noodles made just from flour and water. These noodles contribute a hearty touch to soups, stews, and casseroles, and their flat shape makes them an ideal carrier for cream sauces. Fettuccine Pasta Fettuccine is a type of pasta popular in Roman and Tuscan cuisine. It descended from the extremely thin capelli d'angelo (Angel's hair) of the Renaissance but is a flat, thick pasta traditionally made of egg and flour. Fettuccine is an egg pasta cut into long, narrow ribbons, often served with cream sauces, as in the classic Fettuccine Alfredo. Gnocchi Gnocchi, a diverse family of dumplings in Italian cuisine, are made from small lumps of dough. These chewy little pasta dumplings - traditionally made from potatoes - are typically boiled and served with rich sauces. They also pair well with tomato-based or herb and butter sauces.  Made by: @academicease on Instagram Lasagne Lasagne refers to a type of pasta made of very wide, flat sheets, possibly one of the oldest types. It can also refer to an Italian dish comprising stacked layers of lasagne alternating with fillings. Linguine These long, flat noodles are slightly thicker than spaghetti.

Their name, meaning "small ear," comes from their distinctive shape. Penne Pasta Penne is a type of extruded pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces, with the ends cut at an angle. The term "penne" is derived from the Italian word for pen, mirroring the shape of old-fashioned fountain pen nibs. Gemelli Pasta Gemelli are a type of pasta, deriving their name from the Italian word for "twins." Contrary to appearances, gemelli are not two tubes twisted around each other but a single S-shaped strand twisted into a spiral. Vermicelli Pasta Vermicelli is a traditional type of pasta round in section similar to spaghetti. In English-speaking regions, it's usually thinner than spaghetti, while in Italy, it's typically thicker. Vermicelli is also used to describe various types of thin noodles from Asia.

Each method brings out different flavors and textures, and is better suited to certain types of seafood. Below are a few examples: Grilling: This method is perfect for fish steaks, fillets, whole fish, and various types of shellfish. Grilling fish can lend a delicious, smoky flavor and it can be enhanced with the use of marinades or seasoning. Baking: A healthier alternative that does not require additional fats. Baking is great for whole fish and larger fillets or steaks. Fish can be seasoned, and various ingredients can be added to create a flavorful dish. Broiling: Broiling is similar to grilling, but the heat comes from above. It's a quick method that works well with fillets and smaller seafood items like shrimp and scallops. Sautéing: This method involves cooking fish or seafood quickly, at high heat in a small amount of fat. This is ideal for small or thin pieces of seafood. Pan-frying and Deep-frying: These methods involve cooking the fish in oil. Pan-frying allows for a crispy exterior and a tender interior, while deep-frying, often with a batter, creates a crisp, golden shell around the seafood. Poaching: Poaching gently cooks fish in liquid that is just below boiling point. The cooking liquid, called a court- bouillon, is often a mix of water, vinegar or wine, and aromatics. Poached fish is moist and flavorful, but delicate. Steaming: Steaming is another healthy cooking method that preserves the natural flavor and nutrients of the fish. It involves cooking the fish in the steam produced from boiling water. It's great for delicate fish, and can be enhanced with herbs and spices. Ceviche: This is a method of marinating raw fish or seafood in citrus juices, which denature the proteins and effectively "cook" the seafood without heat. Sous-vide: This is a method of vacuum-sealing food, then cooking it to a very precise temperature in a water bath. This technique allows the fish or seafood to be cooked evenly and retains moisture, making it a great choice for delicate fish. Roasting: This method is ideal for larger fish or fillets. The fish is cooked at a high heat, allowing the exterior to become crispy while the inside stays moist.
