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
