Food safety is one of today's major concerns. One important factor in food safety is cleaning and sanitation of the equipment used in the food, dairy, beverage, brewery and hospitality industry. Cleanliness is a relevant factor; the public consumes more and more prepared or semi-prepared foods. The consequences of contamination can be catastrophic for the public and the economic and legal implications for the producer can be devastating. There have been several large and medium size enterprises bankrupted by a national recall of their contaminated products. This book was prepared with the practical and technical experience of many years working on real cases, improving in general the cleanliness and sanitation of the equipment where the food or beverage was prepared and packed. Know and apply these principles and you will reduce costs and improve cleanliness and sanitation. It is complemented with more than 50 spreadsheets of the most useful and used calculations.

Reprint of "The Cylon Tea-Makers Handbook." The production of black tea in Ceylon began after a deadly fungus called Hemileia vastatrix destroyed most of the coffee crop on the island. The coffee plantation owners realized that they needed to diversify. The Loolecondera Estate had long been interested in producing tea in Sri Lanka. James Taylor, one of the fathers of Ceylon Tea, had recently arrived on the Estate and wanted to be there for the sowing of the first tea crops in 1867. James Taylor was already experienced in tea cultivation. He had acquired his knowledge in North India. He carried out different experiements on cultivating tea on the verandah of his estate. He rolled the leaves by hand and fired the oxidized leaves on clay stoves over a charcoal fire. The tea was delicious and sold for a very good price in the London Auction. The tea craze hit Ceylon. By 1890 tea production was at 22,900 tons, up from just a mere 23 pounds between 1873 and 1880.

Complete Reprint of Harry Johnson's Bartenders' Manual, originally published 1882. "Harry Johnson was a professional bartender for most of his life and along with Jerry Thomas he was one of the first to write about his trade. Harry's rather opinionated thoughts on the bartending profession and how to run a bar, which takes up the first third of the book, make for a fascinating insight in to the world of nineteenth century bars. He wasn't afraid of boasting, describing one of his bars as "what was generally recognized to be the largest and finest establishment of the kind in this country," but the advice is clearly spoken from the heart about a profession he really believes in."
