<p>In the December 2009  issue of Restaurant Magazine, Gavin Brooks, area manager of <a href="http://www.konditorandcook.com/">Konditor &#38; Cook</a>, describes joining a company that has just engaged a management consultancy – and its impact on his career bringing a specialist management consultancy has on his job and career. He explains how his need for career and skill development was met by Konditor &#38; Cook but also on the benefits that David Gibson and his <a href="www.gibsoninfrastructures.com">GBI</a> team brought to Konditor &#38; Cook&#8217;s interview process and training programmes.</p>
<p>His story shows what people look for in a company, stressing on thedesire and need to be trained and managed properly to ensure that everyone&#8217;s talents and abilities are recongnised and utilised.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>While I am financially, and physically not able, to indulge in the sheer decadence of haute cusine, I am curious, and quite honestly, overwhelmed bythe possibility of one day trekking the globe to experience the world&#8217;s latest and greatest talents in gastronomical delights. I confess, I dabble in food, I enjoy food, culinary</p>
<p> Since birth, I have been nursed, on a steady diet of after-school fast food delights and the default of Korean-Chinese cusine, I would not be the first to say that I would know much, or anything about food, save for an inclination for good-bad Chinese buffets, and a disconcerting penchant towards fast food breakfast sandwiches. </p>
<p> But as I have grown up and realized there is an endless area of land, air and sea to be explored, and tasted, I have become increasingly more interested in the culture of food, and become rather infatuated, if not obsessed with a blogroll of culinary hotshots, such as Anthony Bourdain, Mario Batali Bobby Flay (more later) and Julia Childs.</p>
<p>I have revisited food as an observer, as an appreciater of art, rather than a hungry fat kid, concerned with food, only as far as satiating his hunger pangs.  I have explored the process, creation and history of food, and come to understand the significance of this, rather than just the end product on my plate.  </p>
<p>My tongue has become accustomed to and accepted the different textures and flavors that I had more recently deemed revolting and inedible, and for this and my lack of any food allergy, as far as I know, and for this, I am endlessly thankful.</p>
<p>With an insatiable palette, and a fervently excitable mind, I would like nothing more than  to experience food at its finest and highest aesthetic. To quell the adventurous culinary critic within me. If for just a couple hours, and just a couple hundred dollars, I could experience color in flavors, the illusions and art of plating and science and imagination behind molecular gastronomy, while simultaneously enjoying the delicious culmination of passion, dedication, love, art and science, would it not be worth it? I have always thought that it would be so; hopefully one day, I will be able to acheive this dream, if not once, then many times over. So without further ado, I present to you, a list compiled by a panel at Restaurant Magazine of the best food this world has to offer. Bon Apetit!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-682" title="f-adria" src="http://dosisdeingenio.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/f-adria.jpg" alt="f-adria" width="330" height="331" /></p>
<p>Y de los <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant_(magazine)_Top_50" target="_blank">50 premiados por la revista &#8220;Restaurant&#8221;</a> <a href="http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2009/04/20/barcelona/1240257605.html" target="_blank">en su gala de ayer en Londres</a>, entre los 10 primeros figuran, además del triunfador Adrià, otros tres maestros absolutos que, mira tú por dónde, también son creativos estatales: <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andoni_Luis_Aduriz" target="_blank">Andoni Luis Aduriz</a> (el 4º), <a href="http://www.cellercanroca.com/PORTADA/intro.htm" target="_blank">Joan Roca</a> (el 5º) y el imprescindible <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Mar%C3%ADa_Arzak" target="_blank">Juan Mari Arzak</a> (el 8º).</p>
<p>¿Cuánta atención y difusión, sostenida, le dedicarán los medios no especializados al tema? (con excepción de RTVE, que ya tiene varios reportajes en marcha)</p>
<p>¿Cuánto y cuál será el reconocimiento y aprecio que los ciudadanos tendrán y sentirán por esos premios, por los galardonados y por su increíble creatividad, ingenio, constancia, tenacidad, motivación y capacidad innovadora constante, y por lo mucho que aportan para renovar y difundir el significado de la marca &#8220;España&#8221;? (Amén de Cataluña y Euskadi)</p>
<p>Por desgracia, todo sigue indicando que muchísimo menos que si los premiados fuesen destacados futolistas<strong>*</strong> apátridas triunfando en la gala del Balón de Oro, o en un torneo internacional. Jóvenes atléticos y voluntariosos, cierto, pero ególatras y multimillonarios a fin de cuentas y que, por lo general, son tan mercenarios como lo somos otros trabajadores infinitamente peor pagados de éste país.</p>
<p>No hace falta haber probado la cocina, su trabajo y el de sus colaboradores, o la experiencia de marca de sus locales para conocer y saber apreciar y valorar lo que aportan culturalmente y representan estos autores.</p>
<p>En mi experiencia personal, he de decir que hace unos 10 años tuve la impagable oportunidad de conocer y charlar con Ferran Adrià, y no sólo aprecié enormemente su cercanía, sinceridad, honestidad y templanza, sino su espíritu educativo y la capacidad de contagiar a propios y ajenos con una visión y misión que, si bien por entonces aún sonaban a -sabrosos- experimentos dalinianos, hoy por hoy, afortunadamente, ya muchos reconocen y alaban sin reservas como genialidad pura.</p>
<p>Si estos creadores, emprendedores y maestros, pero ante todo, cocineros de principio a fin, fuesen franceses o norteamericanos, probablemente lo percibiríamos, y se nos vendería, de distinto modo.</p>
<p>La capacidad de ciertas marcas y sectores para, apoyándose en un contexto social proclive, comunicar, despertar y generar afinidad, empatía y vinculación emocional hacia ellos (incluso fuera de su público objetivo), o la dificultad con la que se encuentran para lograrlo, es uno de los mejores indicadores para analizar qué desea potenciar, qué valora, cómo se mide a sí misma y a qué aspira una sociedad en su conjunto.</p>
<p><strong>* Nota:</strong> <em>No, no tengo nada contra el fútbol en general, y entiendo la afición como cualquier otra pasión cultural, que cambia de intensidad, o incluso de &#8220;deporte rey&#8221;, según el país o contiente. Pero me revienta el exceso absoluto y monopolizador de atención mediática que se le da, y que se fundamenta en unos manipuladores intereses económicos de enorme cuantía.</em></p>

And I want to try them all. I almost was able to travel to Catalonia to eat at El Bulli a couple years ago, and huysmans has been to per se recently. Here&#8217;s the top 10 of the list:</p>
<p>#1. El Bulli, Roses, Catalonia, Spain (Best in Europe)</p>
<p>#2. The Fat Duck, Bray-on-Thames, UK</p>
<p>#3. Pierre Gagnaire, Paris, France</p>
<p>#4. Mugaritz, San Sebastián, Spain (Chef&#8217;s Choice)</p>
<p>#5. The French Laundry, California, USA (Best in the Americas)</p>
<p>#6. per se, New York, USA</p>
<p>#7. Bras, Laguiole, France</p>
<p>#8. Arzak, San Sebastián, Spain</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">O nome parece complicado, mas o prato é bem simples: purê de batatas com uma mistura de queijos gruyère e minas padrão. Quem ensina a versão brasileira desta típica receita dos Alpes Franceses é o chef Alex Atala, do restaurante D.O.M.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;">.</p>

<h4 style="margin-top:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;">Ingredientes </span></h4>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">3 batatas grandes (tipo asterix)<br />
100ml de creme de leite fresco<br />
150g de queijo gruyère ralado<br />
150g de queijo minas padrão ralado<br />
Sal e pimenta a gosto</span></p>
<h4 style="margin-top:0;">.</h4>
<h4 style="margin-top:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;">Modo de preparo</span></h4>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Lave bem as batatas e leve-as para cozinhar em fogo médio, com a casca. Coloque sal na água (1 colher de sopa para cada 2 litros de água). </span></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Quando estiverem no ponto, a casca vai começar a rachar. Retire do fogo, escoe e descasque, uma a uma, usando um pano seco para não queimar as mãos. Não coloque as batatas em baixo d&#8217;água.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Amasse as batatas com um garfo duas vezes e passe por uma peneira para que fique bem fina a mistura. Adicione o creme de leite e leve ao fogo baixo para aquecer.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">O próximo passo é adicionar os queijos lentamente, sempre na mesma proporção. A própria temperatura do purê vai derreter os queijos. Fogo baixo. O ponto certo é quando a massa do aligot estiver puxa. Teste usando duas colheres. Sirva quente.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[A lista dos melhores restaurantes do mundo da Restaurant Magazine desse ano não traz grandes novidad]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A lista dos melhores restaurantes do mundo da <a href="http://www.restaurantmagazine.co.uk/" target="_blank">Restaurant Magazine</a> desse ano não traz grandes novidades nas primeiras posições, estão lá, como nos últimos anos, o El Bulli, o Fat Duck e o French Laundry. Pelo menos enquanto essa onda de cozinha molecular continuar, o reinado de Ferran Adrià não está ameaçado. Nada contra, na verdade, ainda gostaria de comer no El Bulli, mas essa coisa de listas é muito relativa, difícil assumir a responsabilidade por eleger alguém o melhor do mundo, mas enfim, isso é outro assunto.</p>
<p>Para os brasileiros, nada de novo também. O D.O.M. de Alex Atala caiu duas posições, mas continua sendo o único restaurante latino-americano na lista.</p>

<description><![CDATA[O brasileiro D.O.M., do chef Alex Atala, entrou pela terceira vez na lista dos 50 melhores restauran]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>O brasileiro D.O.M., do chef Alex Atala, entrou pela terceira vez na lista dos 50 melhores restaurantes do mundo, prêmio organizado pela revista inglesa &#8220;Restaurant&#8221;, com uma pequena queda na colocação&#8211; desta vez, ocupa a 40ª posição (no ano passado estava em 38º).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Avisado do resultado pela Folha, Atala disse que foi &#8220;melhor do que imaginava&#8221;. &#8220;É sempre um sonho subir, mas não aconteceu neste ano. O mais importante é estar na lista, estar entre os 50&#8243;, disse.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>O resultado do S.Pellegrino World&#8217;s 50 Best Restaurants, que seria anunciado na segunda-feira (21) à noite, em Londres, é obtido por meio dos votos de um júri de quase 700 especialistas de todos os continentes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Atala afirmou que já esperava um resultado menos favorável, devido às mudanças no critério de votação. Neste ano, os jurados&#8211; que votam em cinco estabelecimentos&#8211; não foram obrigados a incluir, entre os cinco, ao menos dois de sua própria região. Isso tende a diminuir a importância de países de menor prestígio gastronômico, como o Brasil.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Pelo terceiro ano consecutivo, o El Bulli, do espanhol Ferran Adrià, foi considerado o melhor restaurante do mundo. Como em 2007, o segundo e terceiro lugares seguem com o inglês The Fat Duck, de Heston Blumenthal, e o francês Pierre Gagnaire, do chef homônimo, em Paris. Quem despontou foi o espanhol Mugaritz, de Andoni Aduriz, em quarto.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Com poucos novos restaurantes na lista, a premiação mostra consistência e uma fra­queza: a ausência dos grandes restaurantes japoneses e asiáticos entre os melhores, denotando que os especialistas do Ocidente conhecem pouco as casas da Ásia, ao contrário dos jurados asiáticos, que conhecem mais os restaurantes europeus, no quais também votam.</span></p>
