2015年ESL之餐饮娱乐 10 Using Herbs and Spices in Cooking

Using Herbs and Spices in Cooking 

Gisela: That smells wonderful! 

Danny: This is my family’s recipe. The secret is in the combination of seasonings¹ we use. 

Gisela: I can see that. You must have 30 different dried and fresh herbs and spices on this counter. 

Danny: To get a bold flavor, we use a lot of aromatic² seeds, barks, and roots. 

Gisela: How much do you put in of each one? 

Danny: Precise measurements aren’t really necessary. I put in a pinch of this and a dash of that. I add them to taste. 

Gisela: So getting the recipe wouldn’t do me any good, huh? 

Danny: I’m afraid not. I learned how to make this in my mother’s kitchen. 

Gisela: Would you teach me if I volunteered to be your apprentice³, doing all of your prep work? 

Danny: That depends. 

Gisela: On what? 

Danny: On how quick you are with this potato peeler.
