Entrée: An entrée is a dish made well before the side dish of lunch in modern French tasting menus and in most of the English-speaking world. It is often referred to as a hors d’oeuvre, appetizer, or introduction from outside the United States. An example of an entrée is entertaining Food. Kabobs of steak, chicken, and shrimp. Fajitas with steak, chicken, and shrimp. Lasagna is a traditional Italian dish. Spaghetti is a form of pasta. Dinner with Ravioli Seafood and shrimp are two of my favorite things to eat. Catfish that has been fried. Salmon baked in the oven Tilapia that has been fried. Jumbo Shrimp & Baked Salmon Jumbo Scallops and Baked Salmon.
Main: A course is a particular collection of food products which are eaten there at the same moment that during dinner. A course can consist of several dishes or only one, and it frequently involves products with a wide range of flavors. Food served as the main course in an inter meal is known as the side dish. In most menus, the side dish is the largest meal. Food or fish is sometimes used as the primary ingredient. It’s usually served after an appetizer, soup, or salad, and it’s usually accompanied by dessert.

Ans2) Constructive feedback is essential for employees’ continued growth. Feedback clarifies desires, assists people in identifying weaknesses, and boosts their self-esteem. One of the most valuable things bosses can give their workers is meaningful input. Employee feedback is described as a process in which workers’ working phase, superiors, and peers provide useful criticism to them. Most management doesn’t provide adequate feedback, and while they do, it’s usually negative or ambiguous, so the value of responses is diminished.
Following are the steps to design any form:
- Don’t make any fields required. Make it as easy as possible for users to provide feedback, no matter how short.
- Always focus on open-ended feedback.
- Don’t ask “How did you hear about us?”
- Ask question for the possible outcomes.
Different types of forms:
1) Business assessment method – a general form for collecting input on the company’s overall results.
2) Employee feedback type – a document that lists all the staff and collects input on their interactions with customers.
3) Service quality survey – typically in the NPS format, where the net promoter score is used as a measure to assess the customer experience.
4) Complaint type – a basic form for collecting grievances.
So, at first, you’ll most likely need to concentrate on one method that can collect both written input and a ranking. More complex forms can take the customer longer to complete, resulting in a higher conversion rate and a smaller number of instances. Following are the advantage of customer forms like Boost the quality of your goods and services. Enhance the success of the support staff. Personalize the recommendations. Improve business decisions. Advantages of staff Feedback Form like Enhances success and promotes career growth: People want to do their best work and advance in their careers. Clarifies expectations: There are a few more things. A feedback method is a tool for gathering consumer feedback. Feedback types aid in the improvement of goods or services, as well as the basic comprehension of business users.

Steak frites:
Ingredients : 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 1 minced shallot, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced, 1 minced garlic clove, salt and pepper, kosher, 2 1/2 pounds unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes, 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil plus 6 cups, 2 boneless strip steaks (1 pound), 1 1/4-1 1/2 inches thick, trimmed, and halved crosswise.
Method: In a mixing bowl, combine butter, shallot, chives, cloves, pinch of salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper; set compounded butter away. Cut a 1/4-inch-thick strip from each of four long sides of the potatoes to square them off: discard strips. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick planks longways.Using three layers of paper towels, line the studded baking sheet. In a big Dutch oven, mix potatoes and 6 cups oil. Cook for five min over medium temperature, or until the oil is aggressively bubbling. Pat burgers dry using paper towels and season with salt in the meantime. In a 12-inch skillet, heat and cook 1 tablespoon oil over moderate flame until it just starts to smoke.Move fries to preparing plate with such a spider or slotted spoon and season with salt. Fries go well with steaks.
Cream of Mushroom:
Ingredients: 200gram flour, 100gram butter, 100 ml milk, 150gram mushroom, etc.
Methods: A homemade cream of soup can be produced in a variety of ways. The conventional method begins with the preparation of an organizational barriers (flour and butter cooked together), followed by the addition of milk, water, food stock, or mushrooms stock. Mushrooms that have been sautéed or fried are added later. Finally, a dollop of cream is applied.
Green Chicken Curry :
Ingredients: 15gram coriander leaves, 20gram mint leaves, 450gram chicken, 2 green chilies,5 onion, 10 ml vegetable oil, 5gram garam masala, salt, red chili according to taste.
Method:
- In a blender pot, combine coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, green cardamoms, onion, and green chilies.
- Without adding any water, make a perfect paste.
- Oil should be heated in a bath.
- Then cook the curry leaves until they are crisp.
- Curry paste, coriander, and chicken are added to the pan.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes with the lid on.
Quiche Laurence:
Ingredients:
- 1 recipe pie dough or a prepared frozen pie crust
- 1/2-pound (225 g) bacon (you can use more or less to your taste)
- 1 cup (235 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) heavy cream
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste (we used about 1/2 teaspoon)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (4 ounces, 113 g) grated gruyere or other cheese (cheddar works, too)
- 1 heaping tablespoon chopped chives
Method:
- Prepare the dough: If you are making your own pie crust, roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch round. Place it in a 10-inch wide, 1 1/2-inch-high tart pan, pressing the dough into the corners. (If you don’t have a tart pan, you can use a similarly sized pie pan.)
- Pre-bake the frozen crust: Pre-baking is also called “blind” baking. If you’re using a store-bought frozen crust, follow the directions on the package for pre-baking. If you are pre-baking a homemade crust, preheat oven to 350°F. Line the frozen crust with heavy duty aluminum foil. Allow for a couple inches to extend beyond the sides of the tart or pie pan.
- Cook the bacon: Set a large frying pan over medium heat. Arrange strips of bacon in a single layer on the bottom of the pan (you may need to work in batches or do two pans at once). Slowly cook the bacon, turning the strips over occasionally until they are nicely browned and much of the fat has rendered out. Lay the cooked strips of bacon on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat. Pour fat out of the pan into a jar (not down the drain, unless you want to clog the pipes) for future use, or wait until it solidifies and discard in the trash.
- Preheat the oven: Now that the bacon is cooked preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Make the filling: Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the nutmeg, salt, black pepper and chives and whisk a little more. Add the milk and cream and whisk vigorously to incorporate and introduce a little air into the mix – this keeps the texture of the quiche light and fluffy.
- Put filling in pre-baked crust: Arrange the bacon and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust. Whisk the egg-milk mixture hard again for a few seconds, then pour it gently into the pie crust. You want the bacon and cheese to be suspended in the mix, so you might need to gently stir it around just a little. You also want the chives, which will float, to be evenly arranged on top, so move them around with a spoon until you like where they are.
- Bake: Put the quiche into the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. (If using pan with removable bottom, be sure to place a rimmed baking sheet underneath.). Check for doneness after 30 minutes by gently jiggling the quiche. It should still have just a little wiggle. (It will finish setting while it cools.) Cool on a wire rack. Eat at room temperature, cold (a quiche will keep for several days in the fridge), or reheated gently in a 200°F oven.
Cassoulet:
Ingredients:
- 1-pound dried cannellini beans
- Kosher salt
- 1 quart homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
- 3 packets (3/4 ounces) unflavoured gelatine, such as Knox (see note)
- 2 tablespoons duck fat (optional)
- 8 ounces salt pork, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 6 to 8 pieces of chicken thighs and drumsticks, or 4 whole chicken leg quarters
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound garlic sausage (2 to 4 links depending on size)
- 1 large onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 carrot, unpeeled, cut into 3-inch sections
- 2 stalks celery, cut into 3-inch sections
- 1 whole head garlic
- 4 sprigs parsley
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 cloves
Directions:
- In a large bowl, cover beans with 3 quarts water and add 3 tablespoons salt. Stir to combine and let sit at room temperature overnight. Drain and rinse beans and set aside.
- Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and preheat oven to 300°F. Place stock in a large liquid measuring cup and sprinkle gelatin over the top. Set aside. Heat duck fat (if using) in a large Dutch oven over high heat until shimmering. Add salt pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. (If not using duck fat, cook pork with no additional fat.)
- Season chicken pieces with pepper (do not add salt) and place skin side-down in now-empty pan. Cook without moving until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip chicken pieces and continue cooking until lightly browned on second side, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to bowl with salt pork.
- Add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until well-browned on both sides. Transfer to bowl with salt pork and chicken. Drain all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot.
- Add onions to pot and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook until onions are translucent but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add drained beans, carrot, celery, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, cloves, and stock/gelatin mixture. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce to low, cover Dutch oven and cook until beans are almost tender but retain a slight bite, about 45 minutes.
- Using tongs, remove carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaves, and cloves and discard. Add meats to pot and stir to incorporate, making sure that the chicken pieces end up on top of the beans with the skin facing upwards. Beans should be almost completely submerged. Transfer to oven and cook, uncovered, until a thin crust forms on top, about 2 hours, adding more water by pouring it carefully down the side of the pot as necessary to keep beans mostly covered.
- Break crust with a spoon and shake pot gently to redistribute. Return to oven and continue cooking, stopping to break and shake the crust every 30 minutes until you reach the 4 1/2-hour mark. Return to oven and continue cooking undisturbed until the crust is deep brown and thick, about 5 to 6 hours total. Serve immediately.

Whole Pig:
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 small (15- to 20-pound) suckling pig
- 20 garlic cloves, peeled
- ½ cup neutral oil
- Coarse kosher salt
- 1 small potato
- 1 small apple
- 1 lavish bunch each fresh rosemary, sage and bay leaves (still on the branch if you can manage it), for garnish
Method:
- Heat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare the pig: Wash it, including the cavity, under cold running water, and towel-dry thoroughly, the way you would dry a small child after a bath — ears, armpits, chest cavity, face, legs, backs of knees.
- Sometimes there are imperfections remaining after the slaughtering and processing of the animal. Use dish towels or sturdy paper towels to rub away any dark spots on the ears, any little bit of remaining bristles around the mouth. Like that yellow, papery flaking skin you sometimes find on chickens, which can be peeled off to reveal tender, fresh skin underneath, a similar bit of crud can remain on pigs’ chins and under their belly flaps. Clean this little cutie as if you were detailing your car! The purple U.S.D.A. stamp, however, is indelible. But not inedible.
- Bard the pig with all 20 garlic cloves, making deep incisions all over with a thin filleting knife and shoving the cloves into each pocket; include the cheeks and the neck and the rump and the thighs and the loin down the back and the front shoulders, all areas of the small creature that have enough flesh to be able to receive a clove of garlic. (Sometimes I find I have to slice the larger cloves of garlic in half to get them to slide into the incision.)
- Rub the entire pig in oil exactly as you would apply suntan oil to a sunbathing goddess of another era, when people still were ignorant of the harmful effects of the sun. Massage and rub and get the whole creature slick and glistening. I do this directly in a very large roasting pan.
- Wash and dry your hands. Take large pinches of kosher salt, and raising your arm high above the pig, rain down the salt in an even, light dusting all over. You can start with the pig on its back and get the cavity and the crotch, and then turn it over and get the back and the head and flanks. Or vice versa. But in the end, the whole animal is salted evenly and lightly, snout to tail.
- Arrange the pig in the roasting pan, spine up, rear legs tucked under, with feet pointing toward its ears and its two front legs out ahead in front. Sometimes the pig needs a sharp, sturdy, confident chiropractic crack on its arching spine, just to settle it in comfortably to the roasting pan, so it won’t list to one side or topple over.
- Put the potato deep into its mouth, and place in the oven, on the bottom rack, and roast slowly for about 4 to 5 hours, depending on the size of your pig. (Plan 15 minutes of roasting time per pound of pig; if you have a 20-pounder, then you’d need about 5 hours total cooking time.) Add a little water to the roasting pan along the way if you see the juices are in danger of scorching, and loosely tent the animal with aluminum foil in vulnerable spots — ears, snout, arc of back — if you see them burning. For the last half-hour, raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees, and cook until the skin gets crisp and even blistered, checking every 10 minutes.
- Tap on it with your knuckle to hear a kind of hollow sound, letting you know the skin has inflated and separated from the interior flesh; observe splitting of the skin at knuckles — all good signs the pig is done. Or use a meat thermometer inserted deep in the neck; the pig is ready at 160 degrees. Let rest 45 minutes before serving.

Whole Salmon:
Ingredients:
- 1 x 2.5 kg whole salmon, scaled, gutted, from sustainable sources
- 1.5 kg re-skinned potatoes
- 1 bulb of fennel
- olive oil
- ½ a bunch of fresh dill
- ½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- ½ a bunch of fresh tarragon
- 1 lemons
- extra virgin olive oil
Method:
- Preheat the oven to full whack.
- Get yourself a large roasting tray that your whole salmon will fit inside – you’ll probably need to lay the fish diagonally across the tray, like I’ve done in the picture –it won’t matter if the head and tail drape over the sides a little.
- Scrub the potatoes clean, then slice into ½ cm rounds. Lay them over the base of the tray and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Cut the fennel into six wedges, scatter over the potatoes and give it all a generous drizzle of olive oil.
- Pick half the herb leaves onto a chopping board, .finely grate over the lemon zest, then roughly chop everything together. Scrape this mixture into a bowl.
- Using a sharp knife, make 6 slashes on each side of the fish, about 2cm deep and at an angle.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper into each incision, stuff each with a pinch of the lemon-herb mix, then smooth flat. Drizzle the fish lightly with olive oil, then lay on top of the potatoes and fennel.
- Slice up one of the lemons, then stuff into the cavity with the remaining herbs.
- Bake the fish in the screaming hot oven for 15 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and cook for a further 30 minutes.
- To check if the fish is cooked, take a clean skewer and push it into the deepest part of the fish, just behind the head. Count to 10, then carefully take the skewer out and hold it against your top lip –if it’s nice and warm, the fish is cooked.
- Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon over the top, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.. Delicious served with a bowl of steamed seasonal greens.
