Hi Megan, How are you? I’ve got the recipe you asked for. I’m so glad you liked the
spaghetti Bolognese dish I cooked on Friday. It’s my favourite. It’s not that hard to
cook. First, you need 500 g of beef, an onion, a carrot, a stalk of celery, some
Parmesan cheese, two tomatoes and a packet of spaghetti. Once you’ve got all that,
you need to wash the vegetables.
1) ...............up the onion, carrot and celery finely.
Then, 2) ..............the Parmesan cheese, 3) ........... the tomatoes and cut them into
small pieces. Put some olive oil in a saucepan and add the onion, vegetables and
meat.
4) .......... all the ingredients until they’re cooked. Season with salt and pepper. While
you’re doing that, 5) ......... the spaghetti in salted water for about 10 minutes.
When it’s ready, drain the spaghetti and place it on a plate. 6) .......... the vegetable
and meat sauce over the spaghetti and 7) .................. with the Parmesan cheese. You
can change some of the ingredients if you want. For example, you can add
mushrooms and herbs. Write back and tell me what you think.
Best wishes, Luiza

ENGLISH VOCABULARY TO DESCRIBE FOOD

Food is wonderful. Sharing meals
with family and friends can bring
people together, and remind us of old
traditions. We can also build new
traditions with food, and make
friends by trying new things together.
Food is also a good way to introduce
people to a new culture.
However, talking about food isn't
always easy.
In English, there are many specific
words to describe how foods taste and
how they feel.
