A study of the social and physical environment in catering kitchens and the role of the chef in promoting positive health and safety behaviour
No full textThis is the account of a mixed method study of chefs and their kitchens in order to identify the nature of their workplace and how this affects their ability to manage health and safety in the kitchen. It included extended periods of observation, monitoring of physical parameters, analysis of records of reported accidents, and a series of reflexive interviews. The findings were integrated and then fed back in a smaller number of second interviews in order to test whether the findings fitted in with the chefs' understanding of their world. Major factors identified included survival in a market environment, the status of the chef (and the kitchen) within organisations, marked autocracy of chefs, and an increasing tempo building up to service time with commensurate heat, noise, and activity. In particular during the crescendo, a threshold shift in risk tolerance was identified. The factors, their interplay, and their implications for health and safety in the catering kitchen are discussed

Comparison of Two Ventilation Systems in a Chinese Commercial Kitchen
No full textA numerical simulation of an indoor thermal environment in a Chinese commercial kitchen has been carried out using indoor zero-equation turbulence model. Two different ventilation systems in a Chinese commercial kitchen have been simulated. The results calculated for two different models show the airflow, temperature distribution and human thermal comfort index-PMV and PPD value. The simulation results indicate that both methods are capable of enhancing the capture and containment performance of cooking effluent effectively. Under the first condition, not only is unnecessary cooling load reduced and energy consumption of the air conditioning system economized, but a perceived thermal comfort environment can be provided. However, the supply air velocity and air temperature of the spot diffuser are restricted. In contrast, the perceived level of thermal comfort is not improved under the second circumstance. Further, the energy consumption of this case is higher than the former. Finally, the indoor thermal environmental properties have been analyzed

Home and Sexuality: the 'other' side of the kitchen
No full textThis book explores the meanings and experiences of home among a group of lesbians who over the past five decades have sought to create alternative intimate and public living spaces. The protagonists who enact the ethnographic narrative are a small group of older lesbians, mainly feminist activists, residing in the metropolis of London. The meaning of home and domestic space emerges from unique life histories informed by the wider social and political context, and moves from the earliest memories of their childhood kitchens to their contemporary domestic lives.
Leaping from the radical lesbian feminist collectives and squats of the 1980s to the ordinariness of home life, the kitchen emerged as a tangle of cultural norms, customs, duties, ideas, aspirations, expectations, and values that tells us about the thinking process and behaviour of this specific group of older lesbians. In this context, the kitchen brings out the experiences of social inequalities experienced by these older lesbians, mainly brought out by the hegemonic institution of heteronormativity and patriarchy.
This ethnography will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines in anthropology, sociology, geography and feminism
