- Complete menu plans.
- Advice on how to plan and serve the right food for different occasions--from a romantic dinner or family gathering to a formal business lunch.

This manual was written for the management staff of a nutrition department. The text is divided into four sections that thoroughly cover the information needed to develop, implement, sustain, and evaluate a quality management program. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive guide to facilitate a transition to and evaluation of quality improvement management for nutrition departments. The authors have targeted nutrition professionals and dietitians to use this text. In addition, this manual would be an excellent reference for an administrator who is charged with an institution's quality improvement program. This text is divided into sections that systematically review the background of quality management and essential components of a quality improvement program. A comparison of several quality management programs is provided. The text contains many figures, diagrams, and tables that are easy to interpret and are complementary to the topics discussed. In addition, there is an extensive appendix that contains multiple sample documents from actual nutrition practices. The text is published in looseleaf format that gives the reader easy access for copying or revising sample documents. This book is well referenced with recent publications. A portion of the text outlines the current nutritionally related guidelines and requirements that are mandated by the various accreditation organizations. This text is an excellent resource for anyone who is developing, updating, or evaluating a quality improvement program. The sample forms, program outlines, and summary of regulatory guidelines are attractive features of this text. This very practical text would be a useful reference for a nutritiondepartment or for any professional who is overseeing a nutrition quality improvement program.
