A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE

Sara Adelardi, 17, tells us about taking part in a TV cooking competition.

Since I was a child who stood in my grandmother’s kitchen sniffing the delicious smell of freshly baked bread and homemade soups, I’ve known there is only one thing I want to do in life: cook. So, when I spotted an advert on a website inviting young people to apply for a TV cooking competition, there was little doubt I’d be first in line to take part. I thought ‘This could be the beginning of my cooking career!’

The application process was far from straightforward, as I soon discovered. First, I had to fill in a lengthy form, detailing everything from how I became interested in cooking (that was the easy part), to things like what I hoped to get out of being part of the show (these were much trickier!). Once I’d got through that stage of the process, the next step was to cook a test dish for the show’s judges: scary but exciting, too. If that was good enough, I’d be invited to take part in the four-week televised competition. One person, selected by the judges, would be voted out of the competition in each programme, until the winner was announced during the final.

Until I had to create a test dish, I’d been pretty positive about my cooking ability; I often cooked big meals for my family at the weekends, and my friends loved the little snacks I took into school for break times. But suddenly I found myself up against 11 other young people who’d been cooking for longer. Some of them – I’d known this might be the case – had even had part-time jobs as waiters, surrounded by top-class food prepared by professional chefs. Would I really be able to compete? As I stood at my counter in the test kitchen, ready to start cooking, I remembered my grandmother’s advice: ‘Stick to what you know best’.

The judges tasted each test dish, made a few notes, and sent us all home. Then the wait began. Had I made it to the televised competition? Eventually, the phone call came. I’d be in the first live programme of the series the following week! Our first challenge would be to make a meal with a selection of ingredients chosen by the judges. It was impossible to know what they’d pick in advance, and I knew I’d just have to use my creativity on the day, but I was still desperate to do some preparation, and rushed straight to my parents’ kitchen, pulling everything from the cupboards in a panic. All day I experimented with new flavour combinations, testing them out on my parents and sister. Most things they liked, some they didn’t. What if the judges weren’t keen on my dishes?

The day of the first programme dawned and suddenly there I was with the other competitors, waiting to be given our instructions. The lights were hot in the TV studio, but although I’d expected to be nervous about being filmed for a TV show, my excitement soon took over. I recognised all the ingredients spread out on the table in front of me and I was eager to get to work. I knew exactly what I was going to cook! My grandmother’s words rang in my ears again. ‘Keep it simple,’ I thought, as I started chopping.

I didn’t make it any further in the competition. The judges liked my dish and said I showed promise as a cook, but the other competitors were better on the day. I’d learnt a lot from seeing how they worked, and how imaginative their dishes were compared to mine, so I wasn’t too disappointed. It had been a memorable experience, and (line 70) confirmed in my mind that cooking was the career for me. Years of learning still lie ahead of me, but one day I’d love to own my own restaurant – and help other young people fulfil their dreams too!

11 _______ Linda and Amelia are cousins. They’re looking for a great café where they can meet every Sunday for a chat. They love to eat sweet things! Linda and Amelia are both very stylish, so they want a place that’s really cool.

OUR TOP EIGHT CAFÉS

A Luigi’s

Open Monday to Friday, Luigi’s is popular with people who work in the city because it’s close to the train station. It can be noisy, but it’s very friendly and the service is quick. Visit Luigi’s if you want to try their homemade pies and excellent hot drinks.

B Burger Basement

Although it’s in a basement, this brilliant café is bright and exciting. Lights of many different colours hang from the ceiling, and everyone sings along with the pop and rock songs. It’s not a quiet place, but it’s fun. You won’t believe the low cost of the chips and burgers!

C Pancake Paradise

The latest café in town is Pancake Paradise, and everyone is talking about it. This is where all the fashionable people like to be seen, and to see each other. Enjoy the original art on the walls while you wait for your tasty pile of pancakes served with ice cream or honey.

D Sunshine Café

This is a wonderful new café which, so far, is very popular with young people. It’s just a short walk from the college and others a wide choice of soups and sandwiches at very reasonable prices. The best thing about the Sunshine Café is its outdoor seating area. Here you can have some fun in the sun.

E Green Dreams

Everything served in this busy seaside café is vegetarian and all natural. Try the carrot and spinach juice with one of the amazing salads. The prices are high, but definitely worth it. Green Dreams is owned and run by a local family who make everything fresh daily.

F Quick & Cool

As the name suggests, this is where you should come if you want quick food in a cool place. Quick & Cool only opens at the weekends, but it fills up fast so get there early! Enjoy hip hop on the loud speakers and order some spicy chicken wings. You won’t wait long at Quick & Cool!

G Tilly’s Tea-Shop

This is the perfect place to get away from the noise of the city. It’s conveniently located between the museum and the railway station, and serves the best baked goods in town. They play gentle classical music there. You can choose from 20 types of tea and relax.

H Healthy Henry’s

There’s a Healthy Henry’s café in almost every town I know. Our one is located close to the park and it’s always busy. Everything is made from the freshest ingredients available … it’s nice to enjoy food that you know is good for you. The prices are pretty fair, too.

As the name suggests, this is where you should come if you want quick food in a cool place. Quick & Cool only opens at the weekends, but it fills up fast so get there early! Enjoy hip hop on the loud speakers and order some spicy chicken wings. You won’t wait long at Quick & Cool!

G Tilly’s Tea-Shop

This is the perfect place to get away from the noise of the city. It’s conveniently located between the museum and the railway station, and serves the best baked goods in town. They play gentle classical music there. You can choose from 20 types of tea and relax.

H Healthy Henry’s

There’s a Healthy Henry’s café in almost every town I know. Our one is located close to the park and it’s always busy. Everything is made from the freshest ingredients available … it’s nice to enjoy food that you know is good for you. The prices are pretty fair, too.

TASK 2
The people below all want to go to a restaurant or café. There are some restaurant reviews.

Decide which restaurant or café would be the most suitable for the people below.
For each question, choose the correct answer. There are three extra restaurants.

7 _______ José has just started college. He needs a good café near campus where he can hang out with his friends. He’ll be spending a lot of time in the library, so he wants a café with a nice terrace. It must be inexpensive and serve great sandwiches.

8 _______ Kasia is 14. On Saturdays, she has to wait an hour for a train home after her violin lesson. She wants to spend that time in a quiet café close to the station where she can read her book while enjoying tea and delicious cake.

9 _______ Karl and Omar are best friends. They’re trying to find a new café that they can go to after school every day. They want a place with a good atmosphere. They both enjoy loud music! They also like cheap fast-food.

10 _______ Fernando is a fan of healthy food. He doesn’t eat meat, and doesn’t mind paying a little more for organic fruit and vegetables. He wants to find an independent café near the beach. He doesn’t like restaurant chains.

11 _______ Linda and Amelia are cousins. They’re looking for a great café where they can meet every Sunday for a chat. They love to eat sweet things! Linda and Amelia are both very stylish, so they want a place that’s really cool.

OUR TOP EIGHT CAFÉS

A Luigi’s

Open Monday to Friday, Luigi’s is popular with people who work in the city because it’s close to the train station. It can be noisy, but it’s very friendly and the service is quick. Visit Luigi’s if you want to try their homemade pies and excellent hot drinks.

B Burger Basement

Although it’s in a basement, this brilliant café is bright and exciting. Lights of many different colours hang from the ceiling, and everyone sings along with the pop and rock songs. It’s not a quiet place, but it’s fun. You won’t believe the low cost of the chips and burgers!

C Pancake Paradise

The latest café in town is Pancake Paradise, and everyone is talking about it. This is where all the fashionable people like to be seen, and to see each other. Enjoy the original art on the walls while you wait for your tasty pile of pancakes served with ice cream or honey.

D Sunshine Café

This is a wonderful new café which, so far, is very popular with young people. It’s just a short walk from the college and others a wide choice of soups and sandwiches at very reasonable prices. The best thing about the Sunshine Café is its outdoor seating area. Here you can have some fun in the sun.

E Green Dreams

TASK 3

Five sentences have been removed from the text below. For each question, choose the correct answer. There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.

Baking and Me

I’ve always been keen on cooking and you’d often find me in the kitchen preparing the evening meal. (12)­­­­­_________It started because of my young children, who were always ready to bake and loved the chance to make cakes at the weekend. I never realised at the time how important it would become in my life. What started as a way of entertaining the kids became a passion for me and one that I love to pass on to others. (13) _________

To begin with there’s the preparation. Unlike normal cooking, baking requires a great deal of care. (14) _________ Cooking a spaghetti or a curry does not require the same degree of attention. I find this interesting as being careful like this is not something that I have ever been strong at. Baking gives me the opportunity to challenge myself to get things right.

Then there’s baking itself. Whether it’s a loaf of bread or some of my favourite cakes, for around 30 minutes my attention is on the oven. I love going back into the kitchen every so often to check to see if the cake or loaf is rising as it should do, and my eyes are always on the clock to make sure I don’t leave it in too long. (15)­___________This is why people selling a house or flat are often advised to have a loaf baking in the oven when buyers arrive!

And finally, there’s the chance to eat what you’ve made. (16) _________But cutting a slice and discovering it’s just right inside as well is always extremely pleasing. After testing to see if it’s OK, I love calling the family out to the kitchen to invite them all to try a piece. So yes, it’s a hobby I think will stay with me for life, despite the fact that it might mean I put on weight!
