Read the text and complete the tasks My name is Elaine and I love to cook! In fact, cooking is my favourite hobby. I started on cooking when I was very young, with my mother, and the first thing we did together was: cookies, gingerbread cookies because it was Christmas time. The smells from the kitchen filled the room! Ever since, the kitchen is my favourite part of the house, which is why I spend most of my time there. I like to try new plates and experiment until I succeeded in mixing the right ingredients, to improve the flavour of the food I prepare. While cooking, I taste all the food to see if it needs any salt or other spice. I also use lots of herbs in cooking because they add so much flavour to the food. Actually I even grow some fresh herbs of my own! One of my specialities is roasted meat with potatoes, all my family loves it! But I rather prefer preparing desserts. My dream is to attend a cookery course to better my performance in the kitchen. 1.
