Dialogue 1
J: Do you have any plans for dinner tonight?
L: No, I was thinking of putting a frozen pizza in the oven or something. How about you?
J: I was thinking maybe we could make dinner together tonight. What do you think?
L: I'm absolutely useless at cooking!
J: I could teach you how to cook something healthy. Frozen pizzas are so bad for you!
L: I know they aren't good for you, but they are cheap, convenient, and fairly tasty.
J: I recently saw a recipe for spicy chicken curry in a magazine. Maybe we could try that?
L: Yeah, why not. Do you have all the ingredients?
J: I bought all the ingredinets this morning, so let's start!
L: What do we do first?
J: First, you need to wash the vegetables and then chop them into little pieces.
L: Ok. Should I heat the wok?
J: Yes. Once it gets hot, put a little oil in it, add the vegetables and stir fry them for a few minutes.
L: What about the chicken?
J: That needs to be cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and then it can be stir fried on its own until its cooked through.
L: How about the rice?
J: I'll prepare that. Do you prefer white rice or brown rice?
L: White rice, please. None of that healthy brown stuff for me!
Dialogue 2
L: Do you like cooking, Julia?
J: I really enjoy it, especially when it ends up tasting good!
L: How often do you usually cook?
J: I usually make a few salads for lunch throughout the week and I make dinner about 6 times a week.
L: That's a lot of cooking. You must save a lot of money by eating at home so much.
J: I do. If you cook at home, you can eat healthy food cheaply.
L: What kind of dishes do you usually make?
J: I almost always make either a beef roast or a chicken roast with asparagus, parsnips, peas, carrots and potatoes on Sunday.
L: Do you make a lot of traditional British food?
J: Aside from the Sunday roast, we usually eat bangers and mash, toad in a hole, or fish'n chips once a week.
L: How about spicy food?
J: My family loves spicy food. We often eat Chinese, Thai, Indian, or Mexican food when we're in the mood for spice.
L: What's your favourite dish to make?
J: Iabsolutely love making mousakka, which is a Greek dish with eggplant. But it takes a lot of time, so I don't often make it.
