I left school and started by washing dishes when I was
only 16. I wasn’t interested in food and I never cooked at
home, but I worked hard, and soon became a waiter.
Simon, who was head chef at the time, then began to
show me how to cook and I loved it so much I went to
college to learn more.
When Simon left Suzie’s, I became head chef. At the time
all the food was British. The quality was excellent, but I
wanted to do something different, so I decided to have
an international menu. Now we serve food from all
around the world. There are so many fantastic markets
and food shops in London that I can usually find any
ingredient I need.
I use a lot of natural ingredients such as brown rice,
organic flour, and pasta. Some people think that healthy
food is boring, but they’re wrong. Well-prepared natural
food has so much more flavour than fast food. Our food
is healthy and our customers love it. We use the very
best meat and the highest quality vegetables.
Suzie’s is open Monday to Friday from 5.00 p.m. to
11.00 p.m., and from 12.00 a.m. to 11.00 p.m. at
weekends. On Fridays and Saturdays we play live music
from around the world. There’s a children’s menu on
Sundays and that’s when we serve traditional British food.
2 Read the text again. Are the sentences True (T) or
False (F)?
Example: James likes his job. T
1 James left school and then worked at Suzie’s. ____
2 James often cooked for his family. ____
3 He liked Simon’s food. ____
4 It can be difficult to find the ingredients in London.
____
5 James thinks healthy food is boring. ____
6 The restaurant is open every day. ____
7 The restaurant is open for lunch at the weekend. ____
8 The music is usually British. ____
9 There is always a children’s menu. ____
