herbs and spices

linda and jane are learning about herbs

and spices for cooking and health care

in daily life

watch the video and learn the name of

herbs and spices they mention

situation 1

favorite herbs and spices

hi linda what are you doing

hi jane i’m cooking for lunch

oh wow i see you have a lot of thyme

what will you do with them

ah

these are my favorite herbs when cooking

whenever i make something especially

bake or stew something surely i use it

that sounds good

do you like herbs for cooking

um not really to be honest i find them

quite hard to mix with ingredients

really

i think it’s quite interesting

it boosts the taste and smell of the

dish greatly

i thought so too and i tried

maybe i mixed the ingredients together

the wrong way

it was pretty bad i don’t think i’m good

at cooking

each herb or spice is suitable for each

particular dish if you mix it wrong the

taste will be difficult to eat

for example

thyme my favorite one it is especially

suitable for dishes that will require a

long cooking time such as baking or

stewing

it will create an aroma like a

combination of sweet and a little spicy

oh i had no idea about that

what ingredients will you cook with them

there are a lot of things such as

carrots potatoes tomatoes beef chicken

lamb

onion amazing

yes i also love some peppermill on the

stew it smells really good

ah i’ve tried it pretty good

absolutely

peppermill will make your dishes better

because it has a special spicy taste not

too strong

people who can’t eat spicy food can also

try it

great you are very knowledgeable about

cooking hey it’s my hobby

situation two

buy ingredients in the supermarket

[Music]

hi jane long time no see

hi linda what are you doing here

i’m buying some ingredients to prepare

to make a beef steak for dinner

my dad really loves it but this is the

first time i tried to make it on my own

that sounds really good so what have you

bought

not much i just have beef sugar and

what is that uh salt

oh i don’t know how to make it

i think it’s quite easy i’ve learned the

recipe on the internet

the most important thing is having

enough ingredients including herbs and

spices

amazing so what are they

beef of course

yeah i know

and

sugar salt chili powder garlic powder

onion powder and

turmeric

oh my god a lot of things

yes

is that enough

no

you also need fresh herbs

fresh herbs what are they

they taste best when sprinkled over meat

just before serving

they taste fantastic with steak burgers

and any grilled beef

that sounds great so what kinds of them

we need

chives

basil

coriander

parsley

what do you need them for

well they are marinated with beef to

make the flavor more fragrant

how about thyme i’ve heard beef steak

can’t taste good if it doesn’t have it

that’s right i am finding them

here

so many things

i think it’s enough

other things i already have at home

ah i forgot cinnamon

it really takes a lot of time to prepare

the ingredients

but cooking the dish is quite easy

okay

when we have free time can you teach me

to cook it

sure
