Pair Game 天作之合

AMBROSIA 客道 : The Magazine of The International Culinary Institute

To combine wine and food with finesse is a skill that can take decades to acquire. Master of wine Debra Meiburg teaches some of Hong Kong's most popular oenophile workshops and knows a few helpful shortcuts. But as Daniel Jeffreys discovered, even she finds it challenging to choose a good dining partner for Sauternes, one of the most complex and perplexing creations of viticulture.

將美食與美酒完美結合，達至和諧相容，是門高深的技巧，即使花上數十年來鑽研，亦不為過。葡萄酒大師Debra Meiburg深諳此道，她在香港舉辦了一系列品酒工作坊，深受愛酒人士的青睞。不過，即便是對她而言，要為秉性奇特、口感複雜的梭甸甜酒(Sauternes)找到相襯的菜餚也絕非易事。

Universities And Sustainable Food Practices: An International Comparison Along The Pacific Coast Of North America, Alexandra Schulte

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

My research project examined sustainable practices in relation to food sources at three universities located along the Pacific Coast of North America. The academic institutions were the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), and the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver. These schools were selected because while they each foster an abundance of “local” foods and food industries, they represent different stages in the three pillars of sustainability for food practices.

Female Consumer’S Fit Strategies And Fit Perception Of Formalwear Rented Online: Content Analysis, Ellen Mckinney, Eonyou Shin

Ellen C. McKinney

With the advent of Internet technologies, consumers today have extensive opportunities to evaluate products online. Because “consumer reviews, word-of-mouth on the products, could be the most powerful force in the market place” (Silverman, 1997, p. 34), investigating consumer reviews is crucial to understand potential aspects of clothing that consumers may use to evaluate clothing fit. Given that apparel is a highly body-related product, the body-absent online apparel shopping environments is problematic for consumers’ fit problems and sizing inconsistency. Indeed, 62% of women could not find clothing that fit well, and 57% of women did not fit into today’s standard sizes …

The D.O. of Rias Baixas is young in relative terms but unique in Spain and most elsewhere for its production of wines from the Albarino grape variety. This report draws upon a trip to the region to assess why Albarino is so successful but has also taken up an almost homogenistic form for fear of tampering with this success.

Overcoming Fraud & Dishonesty In The Hospitality Industry, James Peter Murphy

Conference papers

The licensed industry is an increasingly competitive market place, many bars have responded by empowering staff and undertaking structural and management reforms in recent years. Undoubtedly, these changes have significantly raised the levels of customer service and enhanced customer satisfaction. Paradoxically these changes, combined with the responsibilities allocated to bar staff and management to supervise and manage bars with autonomous control have created more fertile conditions, scope and opportunity for dishonest actions by staff members.

The way licensed premises approach the issue of staff fraud is changing in response to the increased risk. Many bars have historically been anxious to …
