Between the 1960s and 1980s, Sierra Leone produced around 20,000 tonnes of coffee per year. However, following a civil war in 1991, most coffee farms were abandoned, and subsequently, production volumes sharply declined.

More than anything else, when I was in restaurant kitchens I looked forward to planning and testing the next set of menu changes. A stale menu is not cost effective, ignorant of quality issues with ingredients, uninspiring for employees, and just plain boring. It is a menu change that tests a chef’s ability to understand the seasonality of harvest, the connection that menu items have with the concept of the restaurant, executive cost-effective items, push the kitchen crew to enhance their skills

Recent economic data forecasts a stormy season ahead for restaurant owners. Inflation in the U.S. is holding around eight percent, which is causing the cost of eating out to rise alongside price increases for everyday items such as gas and groceries. As business owners know well, when inflation rises consumers often cut discretionary spending. For restaurants, this presents a challenge: How can you keep attracting customers to your restaurant when consumer purse strings tighten?

Managing a restaurant business is quite tricky. There are plenty of factors you need to consider aside from the food quality. You need to ensure that the customers are getting what they paid for. Another challenge for restaurant owners is competition. More and more people have started their food businesses around the country. You’ll be surprised as food trucks and stalls suddenly appear near your area, grabbing people’s attention.

It does so much more than soy milk I have an intense nostalgia for fresh, homemade soy milk. Growing up in Shanghai, I always woke up to a cup of warm, slightly sweetened soy milk made by my grandma. There was nothing else like it. It was nutty, smooth, and filling, with a taste and smell that you simply cannot get from the soy milks sold in cartons at the big grocery stores in the United States.
