United Airlines is hoping to change the perception of airplane food forever with its new offering, the “Polaris Cookbook.”

According to The Daily Meal, the cookbook features more than 40 recipes created by the airline’s own executive chefs. And really, the recipes may actually be delicious as Polaris is the airline’s business-class service, serving the best of the best food on board.

As The Daily Meal noted, one recipe in the book is the coconut soup, which comes with sambal oelek chicken. Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed by the other recipes either as this cookbook makes no mention of the cold turkey sandwiches or bagged nuts that are often served in economy.

The chefs at United aren’t the only ones featured in the book. According to The Los Angeles Times, chefs from The Trotter Project, a nonprofit organization that provides culinary and educational programs for students pursuing careers in the restaurant industry, also took part. And they are perhaps the best reason to purchase the book because a portion of the proceeds from every sale will go back to the nonprofit.

The United Polaris Cookbook is currently for sale for $29.99 and is available at the online United Airlines shop.

If you’re hoping to create an entire airline-themed cookbook collection, you can. Southwest Airlines put out its own cookbook in 2006 called “Feel the Spirit, Savor the Fare,” The Los Angeles Times pointed out. Delta also put out its own cookbook in 1987, which was compiled by its flight attendants. That book was titled “First-Class Meals.” Though if you find it don’t be shocked by what you see, because airline meals looked a little different back then. And hey, this way even if you can’t fly first class at least you can eat like you did.

But for United, sometimes seems like they can’t catch a break. We don’t have to rehash all the incidents of 2018 that made this clear, but if you think back to the dog that died after being placed in an overhead bin, you’ll sort of remember.

UPS Exec Believes It Is Too Soon For Blockchain Benefits In 2019

Recently, some important executives from the logistics giant UPS have shared their thoughts about the future of the blockchain technology. According to him, unfortunately, 2019 will still not be the year in which the blockchain technology will finally go mainstream. The executives were interviewed by the Wall Street Journal in a report that was published today, December 28.

Juan Perez, the chief engineering and information official of UPS and also vice president of tech in the United Airlines, together with Linda Jojo, the Chief Digital Officer of UPS, affirmed that they are very non-hyped about the blockchain technology and that they are still searching for the “killer use case” that will make it famous.

They affirmed that, at the moment, they have a small team studying the blockchain technology and that they are still looking for the use case that will define the future, as they do not see one and they do not believe that it will appear in 2019 just yet, but possibly farther into the future.

The execs affirm that it is simply too soon to find a real implementation for the blockchain technology that will be as good as people hope that it will. According to them, it is not a realistic view to expect significant benefits in 2019 because the technology is still mostly focused on the whole process of evolving and maturing as much as it can before it produces a great solution.

By commenting that a real revolution will require a lot of parties and more evaluation of the technology, the duo made it clear that they are having a very level-headed vision about the prospects of the blockchain and that the team is ready to wait for it.

Interest In The Blockchain Technology Went Down During the Year

The blockchain received a lot of mixed reviews during the year. Both press and businesses saw the decline in prices accompany a decline in the interest in the technology. The main issue was clear: promises were made in 2017 and not a lot of them was actually fulfilled in 2018.

Despite all the potential of the technology, 2018 was a huge disappointment. It promises of innovation and disruption were simply not solid enough. While a lot of people believe that these promises will be fulfilled on 2019, some believe that this will only happen in the next decade and others that it will never be.

Many businesses saw a huge increase in price by using the blockchain term on their projects, so all the speculation actually made expectatives go up the roof and caused even more disappointment.

2019 will certainly be a year of recovering some of the trust that the blockchain tech has lost this year and to start new exciting projects to prove its potential will become a reality.

Airline food may have a bad reputation, but United Airlines is hoping to help it soar. The company has published a new cookbook featuring more than 40 recipes from its executive chefs as well as chefs from the acclaimed Trotter Project.

The Best Food and Drink in Every State

No, the cookbook isn’t simply a list of foods such as the shelled peanuts or bagged pretzels we coach passengers consider ourselves lucky to get. “Polaris” is the airline’s business-class service, and the United Polaris Cookbook is a collection of recipes inspired by that class of service and its onboard dining experience. One displayed recipe is for coconut soup with sambal oelek chicken, which we’ve certainly never been served back in economy class.

A portion of the proceeds from cookbook sales will be donated to The Trotter Project, which works to help inspire and develop the next great generation of culinary professionals. Chefs from the project helped prepare the book. The project was founded in memory of legendary Chicago chef Charlie Trotter, who died of a stroke in 2013 when he was just 54.

Generally, food on planes doesn’t receive the finest reviews, though personally I’ve had some more than passable dishes on flights.

United Airlines Inc must face whistleblower retaliation claims by an ex-employee who says he was fired after he complained about improper repairs the company conducted on U.S. Air Force military transport airplane engines, a federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday.

But the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia upheld the dismissal of related claims by former maintenance technician David Grant that United defrauded the U.S. government by falsely certifying that the repairs complied with federal regulations.
