5 Now go through the kitchen rules of three-starred restaurant The Fat Duck and do the exercises.
Kitchen Rules
• Do NOT allow cats, dogs, etc., in the kitchen.
• Keep all surfaces (kitchen units, floors, sink units, chopping boards)
clean and tidy.
• Wash hands right before food preparation and after using the toilet.
• Wash the kitchen floor and all kitchen cloths daily.
• Wipe up spills as they occur.
• Empty and wash the kitchen bin daily.
• Keep all utensils and equipment clean.
• Clean out all kitchen cupboards regularly.
• Clean cooker, fridge and microwave oven frequently.
• Sanitise kitchen counters and tables before cooking, and again before
leaving the kitchen area. Also sanitise dining tables before setting
the table and again after clearing the table. Kitchen staff use a cart or tray to carry dirty
dishes to the dishwashing area.
Food Hygiene
• Store food and leftovers at the correct temperature and in the correct location in the
kitchen to avoid bacteria.
• Keep food covered or chilled when not in use.
• Do NOT put cooked and raw food on the same chopping boards or dishes to avoid
contamination.
• Wash and disinfect hands after handling raw foods, before handling cooked foods.
• Wash knives, spoons and other utensils after preparing raw meat (do not use the same
equipment for raw and cooked foods without washing them).
• Cook food correctly.
• Put away (and label) anything you wish to keep.
• Keep fridge temperature between zero and four degrees Celsius.
• Freeze fresh products if you can’t consume them right away. Frozen foods remain safe
almost indefinitely.
• Leftovers must be thoroughly reheated. Leftovers that are not heated throughout are
much more likely to cause food poisoning.
1) What are these kitchen aids doing? Complete with a marked verb from the text. Watch out, there
will be two verbs left!
a b c d e
to wipe up spills to label to disinfect to sanitise to store

2) The kitchen rules contain five marked nouns. Use them to complete Jenny's advice below.
Kitchens actually hide more (a) …

than any other room in the home.
Most (b) … are caused by germs
that are transferred from an item
(say, your cutting board) to your
hands to your body. That’s why you
should always immediately wipe up
any kind of liquid (c) … . Moreover,
(d) … should be kept clean and (e)
… must be thoroughly reheated in
order to avoid food poisoning.
a) a bacteria d) utensils
b) contaminations e) leftovers
c) spills
3) Finally, use the marked adjectives from the kitchen rules to complete the sentences below. Try to
find a Dutch translation for each adjective.
a) … food is prepared food that is stored at refrigerator temperatures.

b) This chicken isn’t fully … !
c) Is … pasta from yesterday just as healthy as the day before?
d) If you don’t have much time, prepare meals ahead of time that can be easily … for later use.
e) Steak tartare is a meat dish made from finely chopped or minced … beef.
a) chilled = gekoeld
b) cooked = gekookt
c) reheated = opnieuw opgewarmd
d) frozen = ingevroren
e) raw = rauw
6 What is your worst restaurant experience? You can either invent a restaurant nightmare or tell
the truth. Personal answer.
First, take a piece of paper and write down a few key words and sentences.
Then, tell your story to the class.
It’s up to your classmates to guess whether you’re telling the truth or not.

10 A day in the life of Gordon Ramsay. Personal answer.

Imagine you are Gordon Ramsay. Write a blogpost about what a
regular day in your life is like. Use the present simple, since you
will talk about daily routines, but make sure you use the present
continuous to talk about a temporary situation.

11 Catch! Practise the past and the past participle of (irregular) verbs by playing the game.
Your teacher starts the game by throwing an object (like a pen, blackboard eraser or someone’s hat) to
a student. As he / she throws the object, he / she says a verb in the present tense.
The student who catches the object must say the past and past participle of the verb.
You then shout out a new verb as you pass the object to another student and so on. If someone fails to
say the correct verb tense, throw the object again and the next student corrects the mistake.
12 Tense game: bitching at restaurant.

Imagine you are dining in a restaurant with your parents. While you’re waiting for the food, you’re
chatting with some friends, using some kind of online instant messaging service like WhatsApp. Take
turns explaining how bad the food and the personnel is, both in general and today, trying to outdo each
other.
Exchanges should include what you are doing now and a description of how that is like or unlike your
normal routines.
Communicate your complaints on a piece of paper and give it to your teacher, playing the role of the
Internet and passing the pieces of paper back and forth to your classmates, each adding a complaint
of their own.

No answer.
Restaurant Jobs
There are many different jobs within any restaurant. But no matter what
job you do, from the owner to the dishwasher, they are all important to
making a restaurant run smoothly.
Front of the House Restaurant Jobs

The dining area, which may encompass* the bar area and all supporting
staff is considered the Front of the House. Below is a list of common
Front of the House positions in a restaurant.
• Restaurant Owner
It is easy as a restaurant owner to want to do everything yourself,
from the cooking, to the marketing to the bookkeeping to repairs
and maintenance. However, trying to do everything will quickly run
you and possibly your business into the ground. Literally. Learn to
delegate tasks to others, learn to prioritise tasks and have clear
guidelines that all staff is expected to follow.
• Restaurant Manager
Restaurant managers have a number of responsibilities in the
day-to-day business of running a restaurant. It is ultimately their
responsibility for all the functions of a restaurant from opening to
closing. Qualifications required to be a restaurant manager include
people skills and organisation. However, depending on the size and
concept of a restaurant, candidates may need a degree in business
or hospitality.
• Waiter / waitress
Waiters and waitresses will be your attendants from the time of your
first drink order until the time you are puzzling how much of a tip
you should leave. They take your meal orders, recommended wine,
clear your tables and always seem to have a habit of asking you how
everything is once your mouth is full of food.
• Bartender
The bartender is the top position of the front of house staff. He or
she is located behind a bar serving up the pints of lager, the glasses
of wine and the mojitos that you have ordered. He or she is also a
drunk’s best friend at that moment.
• Host / hostess
The general job of a restaurant host or hostess is to meet, greet,
and seat customers. Therefore it is an excellent entry-level job for
someone without a lot of restaurant experience (or any). The host or
to encompass: hostess should be friendly and courteous, as well as organised and
to include, contain comfortable multi-tasking, knowing how to handle busy shifts. A host

or hostess job is usually an entry-level position for those looking to
become a waiter, waitress or bartender.
Back of the House Restaurant Jobs

At first glance, you might think that your corner restaurant is run by a
few servers and a bartender or two... oh, yes, and a cook, of course.
But in most cases there are many people who make it possible for you
to dine out. If you ever wanted to know how things are run, here is a
behind the scenes look of typical back of the house restaurant jobs.
• Kitchen Manager
This is the executive chef, the head chef. He is the guy (or girl) who
creates the specials, orders the foods, and works as the general
manager of the kitchen. He is responsible for planning the menu
and the day-to-day operations of the kitchen. The chef normally has
several years of cooking experience and restaurant management
experience.
• Cook
Cooks are one of the most integral parts of a restaurant dining
experience, because no matter how well the service is, your
experience will be judged by the taste of your meal. A cook’s
responsibility may include more than just cooking, they may also be
responsible for supervising and training kitchen staff.
• Dishwasher
And by this we don’t mean the mechanical device for cleaning
dishes, but a flesh-and-blood human being. He / she is often the
most underrated position in the whole restaurant. Beyond the
obvious of washing dishes, other duties include washing floors,
cleaning bathrooms and other small maintenance tasks. While
cleaning dirty plates isn’t most people’s dream job, it is one of the
most important. After all, if the dishwasher doesn’t show up for their
shift, it can bring your restaurant to a grinding halt* on a busy night.
• Bookkeeper
A bookkeeper or accountant records financial transactions, like daily
bank deposits and issuing payroll checks. An accountant analyses
those transactions, such as creating profit and loss statements and
preparing annual taxes. Sounds boring? It is. However, bookkeeping
is one of the most essential tasks of any business. Depending on the
time and experience he or she has, the owner himself may act as the
to bring to a grinding bookkeeper or accountant of his own restaurant.

There is lots of equipment that can break in any restaurant, from

• Who does the cooking at home? Does he / she often use a recipe
from a cookbook or cooking website?
• Do you often cook?
• What dishes can you cook?
• Do you prefer reading a written recipe or following the instructions in a video? Or do you cook with no

No answer.
What is a recipe? A recipe is a set of instructions for making or

preparing something, usually food.
A recipe isn’t always straightforward. That’s why before you
get started it’s important to read the entire recipe (not just the
ingredients list). It’s like looking at a map before you go on a
road trip, you want to know where you’re going before you get
there. It would suck to start a recipe, get to step 5, only to realise
that what you’re making needs to rest marinate in the fridge for
12 hours.
Things To look for when reading The recipe

and answer the questions.
Shepherd’s Pie
Method
Preheat the oven to 170°C / gas 3. In a roasting
tray, rub the lamb all over with a little oil and a
good pinch of sea salt and pepper.
Add a splash of water to the tray, then roast for
4 hours, or until the meat is tender and will fall
away from the bone. Remove from the oven and leave
to cool in the tray, then lift the lamb out onto a
board, take all the meat and crispy skin off the bone
and chop it. Skim away any fat from the tray and pop
it into a clean jar. Add a splash of boiling water
to the tray and stir around to pick up all the lovely
sticky bits from the bottom. Keep it all to one side.
For the filling, peel and chop the onions, carrots

and celery, then put them into your biggest pan on

49 Put the recipe for the ultimate cheesecake into the correct order using the linking words you
learned in units 1 and 3.
8 As soon as the mixture is creamy, stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat on medium-
low speed until creamy.
4 Before putting the crust mixture into the pan, rub it with butter: use your fingers to rub a small pat of
butter all over the bottom and sides of the pan.
5 After rubbing it with butter, wrap the pan in foil: cut two large pieces of foil and fold the edges of the foil
up around the sides of the pan.
1 First, preheat the oven to 180 °C.
10 Chill the cheesecake, uncovered, for at least four hours or up to three days in the refrigerator. This step
is crucial for letting the cheesecake set and achieving perfect cheesecake texture – don’t rush it.
6 Then, place the crust in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until it is fragrant and just starting to brown around
the edges. When it’s finished, let it cool slowly for one hour.
7 Next, combine the warmed cream cheese, sugar, corn flour, and salt in a bowl. Mix on medium-low
speed until the mixture is creamy, like thick frosting, and no lumps of cream cheese remain.

Shuffle T his
2 Secondly, take the blocks of cream cheese out of their boxes and let them warm on the counter while you
prepare the crust, about 30 minutes.
13 Top the cheesecake and serve.
3 Now prepare the crust: crush the crackers in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. Melt 5
tablespoons of butter in the microwave or stir this into the cracker crumbs. The mixture should look like
wet sand and hold together in a clump when you press it in your fist. Transfer it into the pan.
9 Stir the whole mixture a few times by hand, being sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl, to make sure
everything is incorporated. The finished mixture should be thick, creamy, and silky.
11 Pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
12 Bake the cheesecake at 180 °C for 50 to 60 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the outer two to three
inches look slightly puffed and set, but the inner circle still bounces.

PRESS RELEASE
McDonald’s UK position on
‘Super Size Me’
UK Press Releases
August, 2004
People might be surprised to learn that on the whole we agree with Super Size
Me’s message – that it’s important to have a balanced diet and take exercise –
something we’ve been saying for a long time. But in reality, the film doesn’t tell us,
or our customers anything we don’t already know, and as a result it makes little
contribution to the wider debate taking place on nutrition and lifestyle in the UK
today, of which we are already a part.
The reality here is that he ate a one-dimensional diet of more than 5,000 calories
a day – that’s twice the recommended amount for adult males, while he goes from
being a highly active individual, to purposely stopping all physical activity. That’s
not reality, and it’s not the way people live their lives. Our average customer in

the UK visits our restaurants two to three times a month and it would take them
between seven to eight years to consume the same amount of calories that Mr
Spurlock did in just 30 days. It’s hardly surprising then that this had an impact on
his body.
There is no question that McDonald’s food can fit into a balanced diet, and well
within the recommended daily calorie intakes for men and women.
Our customers will recognise the choice and variety on the menu and that we
support them by providing relevant nutritional information so they can make
informed decisions. They know their own diet and lifestyle best.
