I am Georgiana, your English teacher [and founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission](and founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission) is to help you speak English fluently.  \nIn this episode, I'd like to include some food and cooking vocabulary. You’ll see, it’s like having a conversation with another person.  \nYou know, when I enter the kitchen, the first thought that I have is…Why am I here? Yeah. I'm hungry. That's why. Now I remember. :)  \nI open the refrigerator and start scanning for some delicious food.  \nSince I don't buy ready-made food, I usually stare at the fridge for some minutes until it starts beeping. Then I close it and open it again to continue scanning.  \nAnd I'm not saying my refrigerator isn't well organized; it's just that I'm looking for something that I can prepare in 1 minute, or preferably even less.  \nMany times, I end up making a green smoothie. That's a fast and easy way of getting all the needed nutrients. And plus, smoothies are delicious.  \nBy the way, a smoothie is a thick drink that you can make using fruits, vegetables, greens, seeds, milk, ice, etc. Like I said earlier, I usually end up making a green smoothie. Don't panic. It's green but really yummy.  \nI add some water or milk, one avocado, 1/2 cup of pineapple, 1/2 frozen banana, 2 cups of spinach, and 1/2 cup of ice cubes. I put it at speed 10 for 45 seconds, and the smoothie is ready. Delicious!  \nBy the way, in case you were wondering, I use a Vitamix blender to prepare my smoothies.  \nAnd I don't use it only for that. I also make frozen desserts with it, soups, I can make flours with it, almond milk, batters, dough, nut butter, juices, dips, etc. It's very versatile.  \nWhenever I'm not in the mood for a smoothie, and I want to eat healthy and fast, I use a pressure cooker or a frying pan.  \nA frying pan is simply a metal pan with a handle that we use for frying foods.  \nA pressure cooker is an airtight pot where the food is cooked quickly under steam pressure.  \nI love using a pressure cooker because whatever I throw into the pot comes out delicious. I'm not here to promote any brands, but I'm really happy with my Instant pot cooker.  \nThe Instant Pot is not only a pressure cooker. It's multi-functional, and I use it all the time. I even bought one for my mom, and she loves it!  \nAnd you know what I like using it for? For making yogurt. Yes! I started making yogurt, and it was super simple and just delightful.  \nI also use this machine for cooking rice, pasta, potatoes; you can steam with it, and keep food warm after cooking.  \nI usually steam vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc.  \nSo, how do I steam with the Instant Pot? I place some water in the pot, and then I add a basket where I put the veggies. Make sure you don’t add any salt into the water while you are steaming, because it delays the evaporation. I just add the salt once it's cooked.  \nI hope you are enjoying this episode.

Repeat the Mini-Story several times to improve your speaking and listening.  \nShawn is twenty-five years old and lives in New York.  \nIs Shawn old?  \nNo. He's not old. He's twenty-five.  \nHow old is Shawn?  \nTwenty-five. He's twenty-five years old. Less than thirty. He's still young.  \nDoes he live in San Francisco?  \nNo. He doesn't live in San Francisco. He lives in New York.  \nWhere does Shawn live? Where?  \nIn New York. He lives in New York. He doesn't live in San Francisco.  \nShawn has a problem. He doesn't have a job.  \nWho has a problem?  \nShawn. Shawn has a problem. His problem is he doesn't have a job.  \nWho doesn't have a job?  \nShawn","cbCaijzizm5rrGQ1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijzizm5rrGQ1","pdf",146700,"English","# Cooking in English\n## Food and cooking vocabulary focus\n## Green smoothie ingredients and steps\n## Kitchen tools: frying pan and pressure cooker\n## Instant Pot uses (yogurt, rice, steaming)\n## Steaming tips and timing\n## Mini-Story speaking practice\n## Review and listening wrap-up","[{\"question\":\"What food vocabulary does this episode focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on cooking and food vocabulary related to the kitchen routine, making smoothies, and describing tools and food preparation steps.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the speaker make a green smoothie in this episode?\",\"answer\":\"She adds water or milk, avocado, pineapple, frozen banana, spinach, and ice cubes, then blends on speed 10 for 45 seconds until ready.\"},{\"question\":\"What practice does the mini-story section include?\",\"answer\":\"It asks listeners to answer the mini-story questions aloud with short, quick responses, repeating the mini-story several times to improve speaking and listening.\"}]","Cooking in English - EPISODE 219 - food and cooking vocabulary review | PDF"]
