Learn How to Talk About COOKING in ENGLISH | Cooking Challenge

What's up guys? We are very  excited to bring you this special  

lesson where you are going to get to learn  English for cooking and tasting food. 

And we will be sharing some of our  favorite recipes that we grew up with. 

And make sure you watch until  the end for the taste test!

So before we get into the lesson we want  to let you know that if you're new here  

every week we make videos just like this one  that help you to master native vocabulary,  

so that you can understand without getting lost,  without missing the jokes and without subtitles. 

Just like Amy from Argentina, who  says that our channel has helped  

her to improve her fluency and her speaking. So make sure you hit that Subscribe button  

and the Bell down below. That way you  can start improving your fluency too.

So the dish that I've chosen to share with  everybody today is in Cyprus called Koupepia  

and you may have heard these as Dolmades  in Greece and because my family originates  

from Cyprus I grew up eating these. My grandmother would make them all  

the time and my dad as well, and he just  recently visited and we made them as well,  

so I have a lot of memories eating this food. We would serve it mainly as a main dish,  

you would have it alongside something else, so  it would be an accompaniment to something else,  

maybe something like kologasi which is taro,  but if you go to a Greek restaurant you might  

actually have it as part of a meze, which is  lots of small plates a bit like Spanish tapas. 

Which we're used to having here. Exactly.

Do you remember that Friend's Thanksgiving  episode where Rachel is in charge of making  

dessert and she accidentally makes an  English trifle and a shepherd's pie? 

Yeah, it was so hilarious. Yeah that is exactly why we made our Fluent with  

Friends Course, because you can have a ton of fun  while learning English in a really natural way. 

So we have a very special treat for you, you  can try it absolutely FREE by signing up for our  

3-Part Masterclass, and you'll find that linked  up at the top and down in the description below.

Hey if you're a foodie like  we are, if you love eating  

then most certainly you probably enjoy  going to restaurants and that's exactly why  

it can be very helpful to have the right  vocabulary if you're in that situation. 

So next, after you finish this lesson,  I highly recommend that you check out  

this video and you'll find that linked up at  the top and down in the description below.

So here's some we made earlier! I'm so excited to try them. I think  

you should go first. All right. 

All right, fingers crossed you like them.

I know you probably don't want  to speak with your mouth full. 

Well it's a bad manner, Andrea.

No, it's very very lemony. I told you, we like our lemons. 

And I really like the the-- No, I was gonna  say capsicum, but that's Australian right? 

Yeah, pepper, the bell pepper,  and um-- it's very smooth texture.

I'm gonna finish it actually. 

Okay, yeah, I'm glad you liked it! So my turn now right?

Here we go so let's break it. Oh it's very soft and crumbly, I like that. 

You got it. Let's have a go.

Umm, the texture is really soft, they're  very peanut buttery, I like that. 

I love peanut butter, so... Me too. 

They're really really scrumptious.  I love them, thank you. 

Absolute delight, we need a cup of tea now. Yeah. 

Well I need a cup of tea maybe  you need a glass of wine. 

Just like your apron, yeah.
