Kitchen Vocabulary and Verbs

To cook, you need tools like a bowl, frying pan, pot, and a sharp knife. Ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter are often used in recipes. Cooking verbs like peel, chop, and stir tell you exactly how to prepare these ingredients. You can also boil water for pasta or bake a cake in the oven.

Use specific tools like a pot or frying pan for different tasks.
Action verbs like chop and peel describe how to handle food.
Baking happens in an oven while frying happens in a pan.

Grammar for Recipes

Recipes use the imperative to give direct instructions, such as 'Add some salt' or 'Do not add too much sugar.' For countable items like apples, use 'a' or 'an' for one, and 'some' for many. For uncountable items like milk or flour, use 'some' in positive sentences and 'any' in questions or negative sentences.

Start instructions directly with a verb instead of using 'you'.
Use 'any' for questions and negative instructions.
Use 'some' for plural countable and all uncountable nouns in positive sentences.

How to Write a Recipe

A recipe has three main parts: a title, a list of ingredients, and step-by-step instructions. For a simple fruit salad, you must first wash, peel, and chop the fruit. Then, put everything in a large bowl and stir it with a spoon before serving.

Always list the ingredients before the instructions.
Follow the numbered steps in the correct order.
Include a title so people know what you are making.

Zanimivosti

A simple fruit salad can be made using just apples, a banana, grapes, and lemon juice.
When using the imperative in recipes, you never need to include the word 'you' as a subject.
