Someone Who Is Good at Cooking
Tell me about a person who is good at cooking.
You should say:
who the person is
what dishes this person can cook
how often he/she cooks
and explain
what other people think about this person’s cooking skills
．
．
Who? An amazing chef (my mother)
．
She learned when she was young
＋
she often talks about and learns about cooking.
．
Sea food+ other specialties
·
On the weekend
＝
special meal. My father and I are lucky.
．
On big festivals
＝
she tries even harder and delights everyone.
Let me tell you about my mother who is a terrific chef! She can cook pretty much everything,
and she always spoils me and my father with delicious food.
My grandmother taught my mother how to cook when she was very young and she picked up
a lot of recipes from my granny. They frequently talk about cooking together, and they like to try
new dishes
．
My mother has a wide collection of cook books and I often see her skimming through
them to surprise the family with new dishes
．
As you know, Fuzhou is a coastal city. As a result, we often eat sea food and my mother can
prepare crab, lobster or shrimp with a variety of sauces and spices. It's so good
！
So tasty
！
I really
enjoy it when she cooks spicy food. She really seems to know how to mix herbs and spices.
She spends a lot of time in the kitchen and my father never complains about it. Each meal is a
treat, especially on the weekend when she has more time. For my birthday, she always puts together
a great meal to make me happy.
And I'm not even talking about the big festivals…she decorates the table; she boils, fries,
steams, stews, bakes. She's a stunning cook and if you give me 9 points, I will invite you to taste
her specialty: roast duck! It's sensational
！
vocabulary
．
The potato chips are salty and crispy.
．
The fresh vegetables are crunchy. I like to eat crunchy apples(=it makes a sound when I take a
bite)
．
．
American popcorn is always buttery. I don't think it's very healthy. It must be fattening.
．
My mother is a chef. She knows how to cook a juicy steak to perfection
！
·
This food has no distinctive flavor. It tastes bland to me. It's a bit boring, to tell you the truth
．
·
At KFC they serve crispy fried chicken
．
It's pretty tasty.
