DayMark® Safety Systems, in collaboration with renowned New York chef Shea Gallante, has published True Kitchen Confessions, a new book for chefs, cooks, and kitchen managers. The book release signifies another form of an educational resource for the foodservice industry from The Complete Safety Source, DayMark.
True Kitchen Confessions covers a variety of topics relevant to today’s foodservice professionals: from purchasing and food preparation to employee, customer, and food safety. Brimming with true stories and tips that chefs and restaurant workers can relate to their kitchens, the book provides insight into daily operations and safe food production and handling. True Kitchen Confessions is structured in an easy-to-read- 10-chapter format with an illustrated breakdown of HAACP directives.
Chef Gallante says that when introduced to DayMark, he was so impressed with the depth of its safety product line and its enthusiasm for food safety that he was eager to partner with the company. “It has truly amazed me how many DayMark items and ideas are efficient, time-saving solutions for the foodservice environment,” Chef Gallante said.
Initially, DayMark’s products for sous vide – the process of cooking food at low temperatures in airtight plastic bags – caught Gallante's attention. Gallante is famous for his use of sous vide, a method that requires careful observance of food safety procedures. Gallante’s and DayMark’s like-minded approaches to food safety ultimately led to a strategic partnership on the book, providing a safety resource for small and large operations and their employees.
“Our new book aligns with our mission to make the world a safer place to eat, work, and live,” DayMark President Jeff Palmer stated. “Chef Gallante believes in our vision and helps give a voice to it by contributing to True Kitchen Confessions.”
Chef Shea Gallante is the award-winning head chef and partner at Cru, a highly acclaimed restaurant on Fifth Avenue in New York. Chef Gallante was featured in The New York Times, named Food & Wine’s “Best New Chef,” and proclaimed New York’s “Rising Star” by StarChefs.com in 2005.
