Dessert Ateliers (DA) are small shops that sell high-end homemade desserts such as macaroons, cakes, and cookies, and their popularity is increasing according to the emergence of small luxury trends. Even though each DA sells the same kinds of desserts, they are differentiated by the personality of their pastry chef; thus, there is a need to purchase desserts online that customers cannot see and purchase offline, and thus dessert e-commerce has emerged. However, it is impossible for customers to identify all the information of each DA and clearly understand customers' preferences when buying desserts through the dessert e-commerce. When a dessert e-commerce service provides a DA recommendation service, customers can reduce the time they hesitate before making a decision. Therefore, this paper proposes two kinds of DA recommendation method: a clustering-based recommendation method that calculates the similarity between customers' content and DAs and a dynamic weighting-based recommendation method that trains the importance of decision factors considering customer preferences. Various experiments were conducted using a real-world dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods and it showed satisfactory results.

This study compared and analyzed the structures of cooking recipes in order to identify the overall cooking method and develop an efficient method for analyzing cooking recipes. We present procedural texts using a flow graph, which can be referred to as a recipe tree, to represent cooking recipes and the database. A total of 110 kimchi jjigae recipes were identified and classified as 'portion', 'kinds of ingredients', and 'number of cooking deployment'. Recipes for two persons were the most common (43.6%), and 7-13 kinds of ingredients accounted for 50% of kimchi jjigae recipes. Kimchi presented the highest frequency at 78 cases, and pork showed the high frequency at 30 cases. To identify cooking deployment, step 6 was the highest, followed by step 5 (17.3%), step 7 (17.3%), step 4 (11.8%), and step 3 (9.1%). When analyzing the frequency of the relationship between ingredients and action in a recipe expression, Food (F) and Action by the chef (Ac) showed the highest rates at 11.29 and 12.30, respectively, in the cooking process. For frequencies of dependency relation expression in recipes, d-obj (direct object) was the highest at 13.56. The proposed method provides users more efficient and easier access to recipes suitable for their cooking skills.

We analyzed 288 self-administered questionnaires. Most of the employees (89.8%) were with contract-managed food services, 45.1% were $41{\sim}50$ years old, and 45.4% had chef certification. Two-thirds of the employees received nutrition education on 'nutritionally balanced diet' and 'sources of calcium', whereas less than 50% received education on 'problems with carbohydrates', 'functions of iron', 'deficiency and sources of iron'. The degree of nutrition awareness was generally higher than the level of nutrition education experience. The mean nutrition knowledge score was 11.7 out of 20 possible points, The majority of employees correctly identified 'sources of calcium (91.8%)', 'functions of carbohydrates (91.4%)', 'sources of cholesterol (91.0%)', and 'problems with lipids (90.4%)'; less than 50% correctly answered 'sources of proteins (18.9%)', 'functions of iron (27.9%)', 'recommended dietary allowances (32.0%)', 'functions of lipids (40.2%)', and 'sources of vitamins (44.3%)'.
