The food hygiene course which we orginally published on Not Delia has been updated and rewritten. It’s now published as a Kindle eBook on Amazon.
Broadly covering the same ground as the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health’s Food Hygiene Certificate – a required qualification for all commercial food handlers in the UK – this short book covers the essential points of food safety:
- the science of food poisoning: the main food poisoning bacteria, where they arise, how they thrive, how they poison food, and how to eliminate them
- hygiene in the kitchen: how to store and handle food safely, both raw and cooked
- personal hygiene: why hand washing is so important in preventing transmission of disease
- pest control: how to keep vermin out of your kitchen, and what to do in case they get in anyway
- kitchen layout and design: sensible workspace planning to avoid food contamination
- kitchen cleaning: how to stop your work surfaces, equipment and storage areas from becoming a haven for germs
