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.

Ozone not only kills bacteria, it also inactivates viruses and other microorganisms that are not sensitive to ordinary chlorine disinfection.

Ozone is the most bactericidal natural product available to mankind.

As of today, different sources state that Ozone [O3-oxygen composed of three atoms] performs the following functions in water:

• Degradation of organic substances.
• Disinfection.
• Virus inactivation.
• Substantial improvement of flavors and odors.
• Elimination of foreign odors.
• Elimination of iron and manganese salts.
• Flocculation of suspended matter.
• Elimination of toxic substances.
• Destabilization of colloidal materials.

⠀

Having said that, we bring you good news, because at Yelow we are fortunate to be an official distributor of EcoWorld, the pioneer company that uses its Ozone devices in water and air to decontaminate closed spaces. It is a 100% safe system that can disinfect any closed environment.

In addition, the EcoWorld system also allows considerable savings for hospitality establishments, as it is estimated that a single business could save up to 3,000 euros by eliminating the use of other cleaning products.

All this without leaving aside the ecological aspect of Ozone, since by eliminating chemical products you will help to take care of the environment and make this world a more sustainable place.

We are in the first month of this new 2020 and the resolutions are still intact. That’s why this time we are going to talk about having a plan to take care of yourself and forget the Christmas pounds that are almost impossible to avoid. Because the most important thing is health, and if you take care of yourself, your weight will be under control, it’s that easy.

The difficulty lies in which diet to choose. If we do a Google search, dozens of results will appear, some with unpronounceable names, those that promise miracles that are never fulfilled and others that are still the same as always but with another name. In the website ‘Directo al Paladar‘ they have refined the shot and analyze seven different types of diets that we can follow easily. Because dieting can be a lot of fun, since we learn to cook different dishes and we can make use of utensils that we haven’t used for a long time.

These are the seven healthy, trendy and easy-to-follow diets:

Mediterranean diet. It is the secret of a high life expectancy and good health. Its secret lies in eating more fruits, vegetables, nuts, dried fruits, legumes and olive oil.

Paleo diet. Stay away from everything processed and more of the ultra-processed. You should also avoid added sugars and refined flours. Quite a challenge in these times, especially because of the hurry that almost always takes over our day to day.

DASH. An approach to the world of whole foods, also controlling salt, an indispensable element on our table but which should be used in moderation.

Scandinavian. Although its name comes from Northern Europe, it focuses on quality local products and foods such as berries, cabbage, mushrooms and seaweed.

Atlantic. Local, seasonal foods, and above all lots of water. Similar to the Mediterranean diet.

Okinawa. Forget animals and go for vegetables, algae and cereals.

Anti-inflammatory. More fish than meat, nuts and seeds.

As you have read, almost all diets recommend eating more vegetables, legumes and quality local products. Near our area we can find the recommended products and give our diet a healthier style. And by the way, we can give a new look to our diet by changing our kitchen utensils: less sauce boats and more salad bowls? At Yelow we can help you choose what you need, whatever diet you choose. Come and see us at our facilities in Parque Albán and you will discover all the products we have for you. It’s that easy.

Christmas is that time of the year where feelings run high, where best wishes travel through cell phone messages and we have to scratch our heads to find the perfect gift we want to give.

In addition, it is the perfect month of the year to get together with friends and/or family and enjoy a good evening around a good lunch or a magnificent dinner. And although food is the most important product in these dates, an original decoration of the house and especially the space where you will enjoy the feast is essential to make the date a success.

Here are some tips to make your guests’ jaws drop.

1. Turn to nature. We are in winter, a time when a simple walk in the countryside can bring you many surprises. There are dry leaves, pine or fir branches and even seasonal fruit that you can use to decorate the table or nearby spaces. Plants such as rosemary or lavender can also impregnate your home with the special aroma of this season.
2. Wood decorates by itself. If you have a natural wood table in your dining room you can choose not to dress it with a tablecloth. It is a risky option because of the stains that may occur afterwards, but with a natural decoration showing the wood can complement it perfectly.
3. Best dish on a plate. It is a resource that is used for big occasions, and this is one of them. The under plate gives a great air of elegance and you can also play with different colors and styles within a variety that combines with the other elements.
4. Light tones are better than dark. The three wise men were chasing a star, so light is also a symbol of this season. Light-toned table linen is ideal for Christmas lunches and dinners and is a perfect background to then let our imagination run wild with the colors of the rest of the objects we have to add.
5. If it shines, it’s good. Glasses, under plates, cutlery, candlesticks. In a house we can find several shiny objects that, placed in harmony, enhance and decorate any space.
6. The hypnotic play of candles. In addition to candelabras, playing with different types of candles creates a warm and friendly atmosphere with which to spend a good day. You can place them alone or in a group, inside centers prepared for this purpose or distribute them around a specific room.

And if you’re in the hospitality industry, you’re in luck. Becauseat Yelow we have dozens of discounted products to celebrate Christmas with you. Tableware, glassware, champagne coolers or different cutlery items are part of the catalog that you can consult here.

Christmas is the time of reunions, of good will, of movies and blankets, of going out with friends … but it is also the month when you have to think about making several gifts. And it is not worth forgetting or remembering at the last minute, because everything good, nice and cheap flies when good buyers smell a good opportunity.

We’re going to do you a favor, as we have a gift that is sure to please longtime cooking fans and those who have joined after watching the latest season of MasterChef. We even have the perfect gift for your brother-in-law, the one who won’t settle for just anything and is hard to please. And the gift can be for you, you deserve it too, right?

Below you have a selection of the offers we have prepared for Christmas, to make your life easier. And if you are still undecided here you can find more.

Who said pizza is not healthy food? Enjoy a classic of Italian cuisine with these recommendations from our chef Carlos Caballero.

Make your own dough. It’s much easier than you think.

1. Making homemade dough

The first and most basic tip of all is to lose your fear and start making pizza dough at home. It is very simple and once you make it two or three times you will realize that it can be done almost without staining. Each master has his own recipe, I will give you the one I like the most:

• Ingredients for the dough:
  -0,5 l. of water
  -800 gr. of flour for bread. White but not too refined.
  -22 gr. of salt
  -5 gr. of brewer’s yeast.
• Ingredients for baking:
  – 50 gr. of 12 months old Grana Padano cream cheese.
  -30 gr. of smoked scamorza (a semi-hard cheese typical of Italian cuisine made with cow’s milk. It is a cheese very similar to mozzarella).
  -24 months Grana Padano grated on the edges for gratin.
• Preparation:
  Pour the water into a bowl and mix it little by little with the flour and salt. Then add the brewer’s yeast and continue kneading for 20 minutes, making sure that the dough is not too compact. Once ready, let it rest for 4 hours covered with a cloth. After this time, cut the dough into round portions of between 100 and 200 grams each, according to the taste of the diner, and let it rest for another 2 hours. Bake the disk of dough with a base of 12 months Grana Padano cream and scamorza. Halfway through baking, spread the Grana Padano au gratin on the edges.
  After cooking:
  -30 gr. pasteurized egg yolks
  -30 gr. 24-month Grana Padano chips
  -60 gr. crispy smoked bacon
  -Pepper powder.
  -Lime skin.
  Once cooked, pour the yolks over the pizza and add the bacon, lime peel and pepper powder.
  

  2. Set the oven to maximum temperature

  One of the main keys to the success of a good pizza is the oven in which it is made. In the wood-fired ovens of restaurants, temperatures of 400-500ºC can be reached. In our case, we are not lucky enough to have a professional pizza oven, so we are going to have to make do with our kitchen oven. In principle, the two ovens most commonly found in homes are electric and convection ovens.

  The cooking times of the pizza will be different in each case:
  1. Convection: In this case we will put the oven at almost the maximum 240-250ºC with the fan function on putting the pizza in the central tray. At this temperature we will have the pizza ready in 4-5 minutes.
  2. Electric: these ovens transfer the temperature to the pizza worse and therefore we have to have the pizza between 10-12 minutes in the oven. A trick is to start by putting the pizza on the lower tray of the oven so that the lower resistance makes the dough crisp and then raise it the last two minutes to the upper tray to get the pizza to brown evenly.

  3. Use a stone for the oven

  This is optional but the truth is that a good stone will cost you between 25-35€ and if you like cooking and it is one of these things that if you take care of it, it will last forever. The good thing about the baking stone is that when you put the dough in it, it loses the moisture much faster so you can get the dough much crispier.

  4. Pre-bake the dough

  This is a trick that will come in handy for those who do not have an oven stone. It consists of putting the dough already extended but without any ingredient 1-2 minutes in the oven, just enough to lose a little elasticity and ready. In this way we also get to remove moisture from the dough and thus we get more crispy.

  5. Use homemade tomato

  This may seem silly, but it is not. Pizzas with a natural tomato base are quite noticeable. In general, we will always look for the tomato sauce to be as dense as possible, and therefore, have less water content, and in this way we do not moisten the dough too much and we get that crunchy touch that we like so much.

  

  Prepare your own natural tomato sauce.

  6. Fresh mozzarella or real cheeses

  

  Cheese is an ingredient that cannot be missing in your pizza.

  For my pizza I usually use Grana Padano or scamorza but we can use any cheese we have at home to put on the pizzas, whether it is cured sheep’s cheese, goat’s cheese, etc. …. When I use fresh mozzarella, it is usually the one that comes in individual plastic bags with a little water. Now, when you use this fresh mozzarella, I recommend that you squeeze it with both hands with a kitchen towel so that it loses the maximum humidity and does not spoil the pizza.

  7. Prepare some ingredients in the frying pan beforehand.

  Another trick I usually do is to put some of the ingredients of the pizzas in the pan beforehand. For example, if I am going to put onion or bell pepper, first I poach them over low heat in a pan with a little oil and then I put them on the pizza. This way we avoid burnt or toasted ingredients. I also use this trick in pizzas with eggplant, artichoke, mushrooms, chili peppers, etc.

  8. Do not use too many ingredients

  Another basic thing is to be very clear about what you want to make the pizzas with. A pizza has to have a base that can be tomato, one or two ingredients, and then a topping such as a pesto or an olive paste, etc. If you put too many ingredients on the pizza, you will end up with a pizza that tastes like nothing and you will not be able to differentiate the flavors.

  9. Add the fresh ingredients at the end

  Another one of my tricks is to put some raw ingredients once you take the pizza out of the oven. For example, this works very well if you use cecina or bresaola, anchovies, foie, etc. This way what you get is that the ingredient is not toasted in the oven and the pizza has much more flavor.

  10. A little Parmesan or other cheese for garnish.

  Finally, I usually grate a little grana padano on the edges of the dough before baking. I use an ordinary potato peeler, to get the cheese to stay in flakes. The truth is that it gives it a very good flavor.
