Sell a Recipe Idea to a Restaurant
Selling a recipe idea to a restaurant can be a daunting task. Established restaurants have made menu decisions and created a brand for themselves. New restaurateurs have a business plan to implement that doesn't include untried recipes. Chefs and cooks depend on their own skills and experience to create new dishes. Prepare yourself completely before approaching a restaurant. Think of selling a recipe idea to a restaurant the same way you'd approach any other sales prospect.

Convert Regular Recipes to Pressure Cookers
A pressure cooker is a heating device that traps air to cook food more quickly. Once any liquid starts to boil, it cannot escape and results in pressure. Air pressure can actually increase the temperature of liquid almost 40 degrees Fahrenheit compared to stove-top boiling, resulting in a faster cooking time. Although using a pressure cooker will definitely shave time off your meal preparation, you have to adjust your regular recipes or they will become overcooked. Add this to my Recipe Box.
