2020 has served to accelerate some processes that previously evolved more slowly. One of them is the digitalization process of any company. Communication through social networks, e-commerce or the use of artificial intelligence or Big Data.

The hospitality sector is no stranger to the changes that will take place in all areas, and according to some studies, the paradigm shift is already beginning to be seen. According to Valentín Bote, director of Randstad Research, employment in tourism “will recover at the same rate as the health situation”, although he believes that the current tourism model will turn towards a “less massified and more niche” model. A shift that will undoubtedly affect the hospitality sector and open up new business opportunities.

Restaurants, bars and cafeterias have a lot to say in this situation. It is this type of business that has led the reactivation of the entire tourism sector. The Horeca Market NewReality report by the consulting firm Uve reveals how restaurants and bars/cafeterias have acted as drivers of the sector’s momentum, with 83% and 80.4% of reopenings, respectively. The options brought by digitalization, together with the extension of the ERTES gives a breath of fresh air to the sector, which is crucial in the national economic system.

The entire hospitality sector is demonstrating its capacity for effort and adaptation, as seen in the increase in take away and delivery, lines of business that will continue to grow in the coming years. Subsectors in which Yelow has also bet on with its new line of ecological packaging both for food collection on the premises and for home delivery.

Every Monday you have to plan the menu for the rest of the week, you don’t have time and you don’t know how to get everything done? We present you the solution: Batchcooking, or what is the same, cooking in one day everything you are going to consume all week. This way you only have to worry about taking out of the fridge or freezer and heating, a considerable time saving, especially for families with several members.

With the technique batchcooking you only need one afternoon a week to prepare everything, have the menus planned, and of course, the necessary appliances and utensils. Read on, we tell you step by step how to become an expert in batchcooking, you will save time to invest it in enjoying the pleasures of life:

1. Plan your weekly menu. You can make a list of your favorite dishes or consult the Internet. In fact there are several pages dedicated to recipes and gastronomy such as Todo Cooking or Directo al Paladar that publish lists with recipes for the whole week, so if you lack ideas these sites will help you to plan.
2. The supermarket is waiting for you. Knowing all the foods we will need will make it much easier to make a list. Buy everything you need at once to save time and to have everything at hand once you start cooking. You can also take advantage of foods that you already have in the pantry or in the refrigerator that you don’t know what to use.
3. Come to Yelow. For batch cooking to be successful it is essential that you have the right appliances and utensils, both to make them in the right time and so that you can keep the dishes in perfect condition. These are the must that you must have in your kitchen for the process to be a success:Steamer or steamer.

   Tupperware of different sizes.
   Blender or food processor.
   Vacuum packing machine.
4. Let’s cook! Once we have everything we need, it’s time to get down to work. As we have already mentioned, one afternoon should be enough to prepare everything, which will mean that every day of the week you will have to spend less than 5 minutes to heat up the food already prepared. If you have different appliances, the process will be much faster, since you will not have to put several pots and pans at the same time, but you can also use the cooker or silicone cases for microwave and oven.

It may be difficult for us to agree on some issues, but there are others on which we all, or a great majority of us, come to understand each other very quickly. One of these issues is how good some french fries are, well done, your own, your mother’s, your grandmother’s…

Besides being exquisite, French fries are one of the most popular dishes that can be served in any kind of bar and restaurant. With crust, without crust, thinner, fatter, breaded, with eggs, with cheese, with ham, with meat, alone, but in the end it is potato and it is fried. Because what you like, you like.

They are so popular that they even have their own day, yes, didn’t you know? Every August 20th is celebrated as World French Fries Day, something that we at Yelow celebrate in style as passionate about gastronomy and cooking. At Yelow we are convinced that in order to be the king of French fries, or of any other recipe, the quality of the food is as important as the quality of the kitchenware and appliances with which you prepare a particular dish. So, we tell you our little secrets with which your French fries will be a real scandal and everyone will want to know how you make them.

The (open) secret of double frying

First of all, it is essential that the potatoes have a proper cut and that it is uniform so that they all brown at the same time and so that they also have a homogeneous image. If you have tried with a knife but each one comes out in a different way, remember that at Yelow we also have utensils with which you can cut the potatoes into sticks as evenly as possible. It is also important to wash the potatoes before frying them so that they release the starch they naturally contain, but dry them very well before soaking them in oil.

Now we teach you the trick of double frying. At this point we will have to choose between the frying pan or the deep fryer. We may have got the hang of the frying pan and the fires of our kitchen, so we can use it, although if we are talking about accuracy we can resort to the latest generation of fryers like the ones we have in Yelow. Cooking, in addition to inspiration and creativity, needs the most exact rules possible, especially when it comes to time and temperatures.

So, either in a frying pan or in a deep fryer, we heat the oil until it reaches a temperature between 120 and 140 degrees. Once the oil reaches the temperature , we will fry the potatoes until about fiveminutes have passed, so up to this point everything is normal. When this time passes, what we have to do is to remove the potatoes and let them rest for a few more minutes, specifically until they cool down, which usually takes about 10 minutes. The second step is to heat the oil in the frying pan or deep fryer to 180 degrees and turn the potatoes again until they acquire a darker golden color. This will make the potato very crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside.

Once we have the perfect potato, we let them rest on a plate with absorbent kitchen paper to remove excess oil and apply the salt evenly so that it reaches all the potatoes. And if you never find the right tray or plate at home, at Yelow we also have a wide variety of kitchenware in our catalog so that the presentation is always at the height of your dishes. In addition, if you are looking for containers to carry chips or any food with home delivery, we have a catalog of organic products that are sure to fit your needs.

If you want more, in our cash you will find everything you need to make your business or home kitchen a real culinary wonder factory.

As you can see, in addition to strawberries, it is essential to have a good mixer to get a creamy, delicate and lump-free ice cream, which you can get at Yelow at the best price.

Mango ice cream without sugar. Besides being a fruit with multiple properties, mango has an exceptional sweetness, so you will not miss the sugar needed for other recipes. In addition, in areas such as Granada or Malaga it is very easy to find high quality mangoes from the area, so we will be supporting a nearby industry. In this recipe from Sabor Gourmet you will see how easy it is to prepare this dessert for after a meal or as a treat throughout the day, and in Yelow you can find the container that best suits your ice cream.

To drink

And to present this delicious coffee cream, nothing better than our cups and containers. You will find them all in ourkitchenware catalog.

Watermelon and lemon slush. There are unions that work well, however strange they may seem at first. If watermelon is the fruit of the summer in its own right, lemon is a dressing that in its right measure can give us a lot of play. For this slush is almost essential a glass blender, with which crushing the ice will be much easier, and that in Yelow we have a great variety.

Some restaurant trends are here to stay, and two of them are delivery and take away. This 2020 will go down in history for many reasons, but also for being the year of the delivery explosion, as 23% of Spaniards say they have ordered more food at home during the confinement.

This is one of the data collected in the Barometer of Trends in Catering, which analyzes the trends and habits of citizens when they go out to eat. The study reflects some data to be taken into account for catering professionals and that show the way forward in the short and medium term:

• Sixty-three percent of respondents have ordered food at home during the state of alarm.
• Fifty-five percent of respondents have increased food orders in the past five years.
• Fifty-three percent have also opted for on-premise food pickup, better known as take away.
• Fifteen percent of respondents say they consume delivery and take away exclusively, without visiting restaurants.
• Traditional food continues to gain popularity for both home delivery and on-premise pickup, with 54 percent of respondents confessing that it is their favorite option.

In addition to these data, the barometer also highlights consumers’ commitment to increasingly healthier food when they go out. This fact is related to the good moment being experienced by vegan and vegetarian restaurants, which have very loyal customers.

In addition, consumers are also concerned about sustainability and environmental friendliness. Nearly 50 percent of respondents say they order leftover food to take away and a very similar number demand that packaging used for delivery and take away should be recyclable.

In Yelow we also care about sustainability and we are committed to a more eco-friendly world, betting on ecological products for hospitality businesses. Made of sugar cane, wood, paper and cardboard, wheat fiber, our products are recyclable and also have a great versatility being suitable for hot and cold meals, and can also be used in the microwave, oven and freezer.

In addition, we have thousands of items in our cash and professional kitchenware catalog.

In both dishes the tomato is the king, they fight the heat as few foods do, but each recipe has its followers and detractors. And you, do you prefer gazpacho or salmorejo?

The recipe for traditional gazpacho, Andalusian as it could not be otherwise, is as well known as it is ‘difficult’ to make. The quality of the products, as well as the ‘hand’ of the person who makes it, is an essential factor when tasting a gazpacho. In addition, there are other aspects such as the presentation or where it is served that can make us like a gazpacho more or less. Of the infinite number of recipes that can be found on the Internet, we are left with the one from Directo al Paladar, which introduces the possibility of including onion and red bell pepper as one of the ingredients of traditional gazpacho, although it does not recommend either one or the other.

In recent times other versions have appeared, such as the one that has become famous in the eighth edition of Masterchef and that integrates seasoned olives and basil. For tastes, colors (and flavors), although the truth is that this proposal meets the premises of all good gazpacho: it is refreshing as few drinks are and has a high nutritional power.

If Cordoba has the Mezquita and the patios, it also has the fame earned by the salmorejo. For some years now, this has become one of the indispensable summer dishes, for its taste, for its ease of preparation, but also for the garnish with which it is usually accompanied: hard-boiled egg and cured ham.

For this recipe we have also chosen the one provided by the website Directo al Paladar, where we are invited to take into account two essential aspects. One is the mixture of flavors that is produced by leaving the bread mixed with the tomato and garlic cloves to rest overnight, and the other is the use of a quality olive oil and the time we have to spend beating everything so that the mixture emulsifies in the most appropriate way. In this way, and accompanied by the egg and the ham, our salmorejo will be able to compete with the best.

Have you made up your mind? Gazpacho or salmorejo? In either option the presentation is fundamental. so that the final result is spectacular. In Yelow we have thousands of references to make your recipes look their best. Pure whites, ivory and even black to enhance the charisma of your dishes. In our catalog you will even find a source of inspiration to surprise your guests with your recipes, so we invite you to give wings to your imagination by consulting our tableware catalog.

What is more Granada than a tapa? This June 18 is World Tapas Day, a symbol of Spanish gastronomy that in Granada is an icon. The tapas of the province of Granada are as famous as they are varied, thanks to the great work of the innkeepers, who offer their most prized recipes in a concise way. In other provinces and cities such as Almería, Bilbao, Logroño or León, tapas are also a sign of identity of their own gastronomy, which increases their importance.

In fact, the Spanish Ministry of Culture has initiated the process for ‘Las Tapas’ to be considered a Representative Manifestation of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Undoubtedly, a title that would be an accolade to the good work of so many restaurateurs and suppliers that every day offer their best products to the public.

In Yelow we share the illusion and effort of the catering industry, so we have always made available the best products with which they can work. From kitchenware to the most imaginative and innovative solutions, including all the machinery to ensure that the end customer is always satisfied. Whether you are a catering professional or a cooking enthusiast, Yelow is always with you.

In addition, this June 18 we also celebrate Sustainable Gastronomy Day, because we believe in gastronomy and we are also in favor of a fair system that takes care of everyone and the planet we inhabit. In 2016 the UN decided that this day would be dedicated to Sustainable Gastronomy to raise awareness about the protection and preservation of natural resources and thus contribute to living on a more sustainable planet.

True to our commitment to the environment, we have recently launched a new line of ecological products for take away and delivery businesses, so that caterers can offer their products in sustainable and environmentally friendly containers. You can consult the catalog here.

In this way, we take care of our customers at the same time we take care of our planet.

With Yelow everything is easier. Contact us at 958122543 or e-mail us at info@yelow.es.

Today there is no excuse, or rather, we have two great excuses to go out for tapas, see you in the bars!

Food delivery and take away are two lines of business that are here to stay. They are more than a fad, judging by the strong push they have experienced in recent years, the acceptance by a large part of society and the emergence of home delivery companies that make the work of the restaurant easier.

For the business, the benefits of delivery and take-away are clear:

• You will be able to reach new customers through existing online platforms.
• You save on personnel and capacity costs on the premises, since your customers are outside.
• You innovate in a new line of business and add value to your store.
• You promote the quality of your products outside your cafeteria or restaurant, so you will be better known.
• The versatility of the packaging (access to the catalog) allows you to ship all types of food.

According to some studies, the implementation of home delivery can increase the company’s turnover by 30%, a not insignificant figure for a line of business that can be perfectly compatible with on-site service.

In the case of take away, it is not necessary to make a large investment to increase turnover. We simply need to promote this service and adequate containers so that the customer is satisfied, maintaining the same quality that we offer in our cafeteria or restaurant.

In addition, it can be a totally sustainable line of business if we choose the right packaging. In Yelow we have a wide variety of ecological packaging, 100% recyclable and suitable for both microwave and freezer. We have them for all types of food such as hamburgers, complete menus, sushi, bag holders, for salads or for hot and cold drinks. You can see them all by clicking here.
