  10. The name of the dish: indicate the main ingredients used state the cooking method  indicate ingredients used  e.g. Lettuce Wraps with Smoked Trout   show cooking methods  show style of the dish e.g. Indian-style Chicken Curry with Rice   indicate ingredients used

  11. Ingredients: state the main ingredients needed include the amount needed for each ingredient e.g. 2 x 4.5 oz packages blanched whole almonds e.g. 3 tablespoons apple jelly e.g. 1 cup all purpose flour

  12. Directions: explain how each ingredient is used and combined include different cooking steps, utensils used and time needed e.g. Heat a wok gently and add one tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle the chopped green onion and garlic. Stir-fry the mixture until aromatic. e.g. Bake cookies for 15 minutes in an oven at 200°C.

  13. What are the main features of a recipe?

  14. In a recipe, we use: objective statements to avoid personal opinion abbreviations to talk about the quantities of ingredients imperatives to give cooking instructions

  15. We use objective statements to avoid personal opinion: recipe is a record of cooking steps and ingredient needed no need to add personal feelings or opinion keep it simple by omitting the doer

  16. We use abbreviations to talk about the quantities of ingredients: e.g. 4 tbs. sesame oil (tbs. = tablespoon) e.g. 1 cup (250 ml, 8 fl oz) buttermilk (ml = millilitre, fl oz = fluid ounce) e.g. 1 kg flour (kg = kilogram) e.g. 2 tsp. black pepper (tsp. = teaspoon) e.g. ½ cup sour cream (opt.) (opt. = optional)

  17. We use imperatives to give cooking instructions: the subject is omitted use bare infinitive to start sentence e.g. Simmer turkey for about 20 minutes. e.g. Mix butter, sugar and eggs in a bowl. e.g. Wrap the chicken firmly with aluminum foil.

  18. Exercise 2 Match the cooking verbs in column A with the descriptions in column B. Column A Column B sprinkle to mix liquid, eggs etc. very quickly whisk to make the water in something flow away marinate to scatter small pieces of something on food carve to press the food until it is soft and smooth drain to cut a large piece of cooked meat mash to put meat in a mixture of oil and spices
