Unit 11 In the kitchen
I learned to cook when I was at school. We had lessons twice a week. Sometimes we made a mistake and burned the food; but usually we cooked it nicely and then ate it. I passed a cooking examination last year.
But I learned more about cooking at home from my mother than at school from my teacher, because I often helped my mother in the kitchen, and sometimes I cooked a meal alone.
We have a gas stove in our kitchen, and it is quite easy to cook on it, and to bake things in its oven. I make a chocolate cake best, my mother says. I put flour, butter, sugar, eggs and chocolate in it. I mix them well in a bowl and then put them in a baking-tin. Then I put the tin in, the oven and bake it for one and a half hours.
I also make jam. In summer and autumn, when fruit is cheap, we buy a lot of it, and I boil it with sugar. Then I put it in pots and put the pots in a cupboard. I n winter and spring, when there is not much fruit and it is expensive, our jam is very useful.
