CHEF

THE NAKEDTHE NAKED


Jamie Oliver is an inspiration to people. He makes cooking look very easy and hisdishes look fantastic. When you watch hiscooking programme, you start thinking; “It can’t be that hard, right?”

Jamie Oliver grew up in Essex where hisparents owned a pub-restaurant called The Cricketers. He often helped out in the kitchen. By the time he was eleven, he was the best vegetable cutter his dad had in the kitchen.

Jamie knew that he wanted to be a cheffrom an early age. He studied in Englandand in France. His plan was to learn asmuch as he could before he came back to London to work. The owners of the restaurant River Café in London gave

Jamie a job. He worked there for three anda half years. In this restaurant he learnedhow to make the fresh and simple food that he is known for.

The result of working at this restaurant was The naked chef, a cookery programme.It was his first television series. He hasmade more cookery programmes since then,and his cookbooks are also very popular.Isit possible to become famous when youmake food on television, you might ask?Jamie Oliver has managed just that. And he has used his cooking skills and his fame in a positive way.

He wanted to give young people that havenot been so lucky in life a new chance. That is why he started cookery courses

where he has trained 15 young people to make food. If they passed the course,they got a job in his new restaurant,Fifteen. There are now four Fifteenrestaurants in Britain.

In Britain, schools serve children one hotmeal a day. Often these lunches are like fast food, with a lot of fat and sugar. Now many pupils eat healthier school lunches than before because of Jamie Oliver. He decided to run a school kitchenfor one year to show people that it waspossible to serve healthy and tasty food tochildren. The UK Government contributed

to his work when they decided to spend 280 million pounds on better school lunches.

On the Move has talked to Amy Holland whois a vegetarian. I meet Amy outside theschool one Tuesday morning. She gives

me a smile, reaches out her hand and tells me her name. We go into the school’s lunch area to sit down.

I AM A VEGETARIAN!


IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT TO EAT THEN?

Well, there are different kinds of vegetari-ans. People say they are vegetarians if theydon´t eat red meat. They have decided tocut red meat from their diet. It doesn’tmake them a vegetarian. In my family weare lacto-vegetarians. It means that we donot eat red meat, fish or poultry. We eatdairy products such as milk and cheese, but we do not eat eggs.

HAVE YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS BEEN VEGETARIANS?

Yes, my mum and dad were vegetarians before I was born. I don’t know any other way to live.

DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY DECIDEDTO BECOME VEGETARIANS?

They believe that we get a healthier diet by not eating meat. I know that my mumhas never liked meat, either red meat orpoultry. She eats fish sometimes.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT VEGETARIANISM?

I know that the idea of vegetarianism started in India. People living there didn’t want to kill animals. There were religious groups that had this idea.Being a vegetarian is a trend right now. People say that they are vegetarians because they do not eat red meat. I think the word vegetarian gives people the idea of a healthy lifestyle.

DO YOU EAT SCHOOL LUNCHES OR DO YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN FOOD?

They have vegetarian menus here. I am not the only vegetarian in school.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE VEGETARIAN FOOD THEN?

The list will be very long for sure. Maybe I should tell you what I have eaten so fartoday, and what I will have for lunch anddinner? (I give her a nod.)

AMY, CAN YOU TELL THE READERS:WHAT IS A VEGETARIAN?

A vegetarian doesn’t eat the flesh of any animals. It means that a vegetarian doesn´teat red meat, fish or poultry. Some don´teven eat eggs or dairy products such as cheese and milk.

I had yoghurt for breakfast. On my way to school I had an apple from our garden.They are the best! I think I will eat vegetable soup with bread for lunch. And tonight I am going to make a delicious pizza.

With that said, I thank Amy for an interesting interview. On my way out I hear Amy calling my name. She runs towards me with a smile. She has a note in her hand. “You forgot this. Bon appetite!” she says. I open the note and I see the headline: “Amy’s secret pizza recipe”.

Dear AlvinI wanted to surprise my mum with freshbread straight from the oven yesterday. Igot so sad when I saw the result. The breadwas flat and hard and it didn’t taste good.What have I done wrong? I followed therecipe step by step.

Christian

Dear ChristianMy first thought is that you have forgottento put yeast in the dough. Is it possible?Yeast is the ingredient that makes thedough rise. No yeast, no airy bread! Remember to mix the yeast with milk orwater that has a temperature between 37–39 degrees. I wish you the best of luck!I am sure you will get a better result nexttime.

Alvin

You are going to bake bread. Youneed to go to the grocery shop tobuy the ingredients. Find a recipeand make the shopping list.

Ask Alvin

Dear AlvinI often argue with my parents about food. Iam picky, but my parents don’t want to hearit. “As long as you are in this house, you eatwhat you are served,” they say. This weekmy dad made an Asian dish with a lot of vegetables I have never seen before. I simplyrefused to eat it. Can you call my parentsand tell them a thing or two?

Tom, 14

Dear TomI understand both you and your parents.Not everybody can like everything. But Ithink that everything should be tried atleast once. If you don’t try, you could missout on your new favourite dish! I alsothink maybe it is time you start makingyour own food? Offer to make dinner acouple of days a week. Then you knowthat you get something you like!

Dear AlvinMy family is half Australian, but I havenever lived in Australia and we have nevercelebrated any traditional Australian holidays. Now I would like to take upsome of the traditions, starting with traditional holiday food. I am sure I canfind recipes on the Internet, but I don’tknow what to look for. Can you help me?

Claire

Dear ClaireWhat a nice idea! Since Australia used to be a British colony, many of the holiday traditions are the same as in Britain. Thatalso goes for the food, such as the traditional Christmas pudding. But youcould try to find a recipe for Anzac biscuits.Anzac biscuits (named after the term forAustralian and New Zealand soldiers) arequite easy to make and have become a national favourite in Australia. Good luck!

Alvin

Can you find a recipe for Anzacbiscuits or cookies on the Internet?Also see if you can find the storybehind these biscuits, and share itwith your group.

Hi AlvinI work in a fast-food restaurant two afternoons a week and sometimes at theweek-ends. The shifts are long, so I eat atthe restaurant every time I work. I have always loved fast food, especially onionrings and fries. I can’t get enough! I knowthat too much fast food is not good for mybody. I am wondering if there is food onour menu that is healthier to eat?

Darren, 15

Hi DarrenThere are healthier options, even in a fast-food restaurant. Choose a fish or a chickenburger instead of a normal burger. Theonion rings and fries have to go! Add asalad instead. In your day to day life I recommend you eat rice or baked potatoesinstead of fries. You could also cut dressingand cheese on the burger. And drink waterinstead of a soft drink.Good luck!

Grabbing food on the go is a normal routine for many people. Fast food restau-rants make it possible to buy food and eat24 hours a day. You don’t even have to gointo the restaurant and sit down. Now youcan order food by using the drive-throughsystem and eat in the car. This systemseems to fit our society quite well.

What is fast food? It is food which is served very quickly in a restaurant, kioskor café. It is kept warm or it is reheated. A fast food menu often consists of a hamburger, fries and a beverage – usually aCoca-Cola. If you pay a little more, you geta bigger beverage and more fries. Eatingfast food usually means more calories, fat,sugar and carbohydrates. America is thehomeland of fast food. An average American eats big portions of hamburgersand fries three or four times a week.

An American survey shows that 96% of all American school children know who Ronald McDonald is. He is the clown dressed in yellow and red who invites allchildren to come and eat at McDonald’s.Many parents accept his invitation morethan once a week. They get to eat andrelax, while their children get to eat andplay. In our day to day life many people do not take the time to think about what a fast food menu contains compared tofood you can make at home.

As a reaction to all the fast food eaters, a slow food movement was founded in the1980s. The slow food movement believesthat the food we eat should be produced

in a good way that does not harm the environment or our health. Slow foodmeans eating healthier food, and enjoyingthe cooking process. Slow food also meanskeeping old cooking traditions alive.

Many supermarkets now offer healthierproducts for busy people instead of the typical fast food. You can find roast chicken, roast beef and ready-made salads.This is a healthier meal than a burger andfries. More stores also sell peeled and slicedfruits and vegetables. This may help you to eat the minimum of five fruits and vegetables a day.

Fast food eaters who are overweight are aproblem, not only in the USA but in manycountries all over the world. Take Japan for example: people are getting overweightbecause they choose fast food instead oftheir traditional food such as fish, rice and vegetables. Their diet is originally one of the healthiest in the world.

Some of the large fast food chains are beginning to have healthier alternatives ontheir menus such as white meat, salads andfresh fruit. Hopefully, people will pick oneof those alternatives rather than a supersize menu. It is of course better to makethe food yourself. Get hold of a cookbookand start making your own food with a healthier touch. What’s stopping you?

The expensive fast food insult

A fast food chain has taken a food critic and the newspaper he

works for to court. The food critic compared their burgers to rubber

and their fries to cardboard. The fast food chain wants to sue the

newspaper that printed the review for 21 million Euros. The judge

has asked the newspaper and the fast food chain to try to agree

outside the court. The food critic himself is not planning to back

down. He says that he finds fast food disgusting.

something you really didn’t like?

Andy Brown is both loved and hated byrestaurant owners all over the country. Hehas his own column which is printed everySaturday in Today’s News. People read hisreviews with great interest. Andy Brownknows that his opinion means a lot. Hemakes it clear that he will never put his pendown and stop being a food critic. He loveshis job! On the Move joined him at work.

Andy doesn’t care if the restaurant peoplelove him or hate him. “It goes with thejob,” he says and laughs. “I love to enter a new restaurant and taste their food. For me it is just as good as trying a new car for the first time.” He quickly adds that he bought a new car last week and he can’t get enough of it.

Andy is a respected food critic. If he gives a restaurant the thumbs up, the owners willprobably succeed. He doesn’t like to give

bad critics, but sometimes he just has to. “I have to be honest with the readers, theowners of the restaurant and myself,” hesays. Tonight we are going to a newly open -ed restaurant called A taste of the world. “I never go to a restaurant on openingnight. It is not the right atmosphere. Thereare only a lot of noisy people that are thereto get free food and drinks,” he says.

A taste of the world has food from all thecorners of the world. Tonight we are havingfood from the Caribbean cuisine. Andyknows that it is their speciality because the chef comes from Jamaica.

The Caribbean cuisine is very exciting. Each island in the West Indies has its ownnational dish and methods for cooking.Most Caribbean food is not that spicy. Hot pepper sauce is often added at the table to spice up the food more.

The waitress serves us a bean soup as astarter. It tastes delicious, but it is a bitspicy. Andy starts making notes. “Read thepaper on Saturday,” he tells me and hideshis notes. We are having chicken curry as a main course with steamed rice and vegetables. I can feel the taste of ginger, garlic, pepper, curry powder and allspice.This tastes brilliant! For a few seconds I envy Andy for working as a food critic.“The raw materials are fresh!” he says and makes notes. I wonder what we get for dessert. I can’t wait.

To end a fantastic meal, they serve Cornmeal Porridge. I have never tasted anything better! Andy seems to agree, evenif he doesn’t say too much about the food.Before we leave the restaurant, Andy thanksthe waitress for a very nice evening. His lastcomment is: “Do not forget to read Today’sNews on Saturday, page 3.”

Three days later Andy has written his review: “It is worth visiting “A taste of theworld”. Their menu is filled with wonderfulflavours. The tastes are brilliant! You willbe dreaming about the meal for a long timeto come. Have your next meal at “A tasteof the world” and experience Caribbeanfood with a special touch.”

BRING IT ON

I can’t stand people who are picky about food.

They always have a problem when a dish is served

because there is always something they don’t like.

Maybe they decided when they were two years old

not to like sweet pepper, milk, peas, fish, carrots,

beans, mayonnaise, dressing, ketchup, tomatoes

– the list could go on and on. It is so immature.

Grow up, people! You need to taste food before

you make up your mind. Think about how many

great food adventures you are missing out on!

THE WORMYSPAGHETTII bet you have never met two people more revolting than Mr and Mrs Twit.Mr Twit was one of these hairy-faced men. The whole of his face except for his forehead, his eyes and his nose was covered with thick hair. Mr. Twit felt thatthis hairiness made him look terrificallywise and grand.

Mr Twit didn’t even bother to open hismouth wide when he ate. As a result (and because he never washed) there werealways hundreds of bits of old breakfastsand lunches and suppers sticking to thehairs around his face. They weren’t big bits,mind you, because he used to wipe those off with the back of his hand or on his sleeve while he was eating. But if you looked closely (not that you’d ever want to) you would see tiny little specks of dried-up scrambled eggs stuck to the hairs, and spinach and tomato ketchup and fish fingersand minced chicken livers and all the otherdisgusting things Mr Twit liked to eat.

Mrs Twit was no better than her husband.She did not, of course, have a hairy face. It was a pity she didn’t because that at anyrate would have hidden some of her fearfulugliness. But the funny thing is that Mrs

Twit wasn’t born ugly. She’d had quite anice face when she was young. The uglinesshad grown upon her year by year as she gotolder. In her right hand she carried a walk -ing stick. She used to tell people that thiswas because she had warts growing on thesole of her left foot and walking was pain-ful. But the real reason she carried a stickwas so that she could hit things with it,things like dogs and cats and small children.

Mr and Mrs Twit have always played hor-rible tricks on each other. Mr Twit had puta frog in Mrs Twit’s bed the night before.Now she was going to pay Mr Twit back…

Mrs Twit sneaked out into the garden anddug up some worms. She chose big longones and put them in a tin and carried the tin back to the house under her apron. At one o’clock she cooked spaghetti forlunch and she mixed the worms in with the spaghetti, but only on her husband’splate. The worms didn’t show because everything was covered with tomato sauce and sprinkled with cheese.

Hey, my spaghetti’s moving!” cried Mr Twit poking around in it with his fork.“It’s a new kind,” Mrs Twit said, taking

Eat it up while it’snice and hot.” Mr Twit started eating, twisting the long tomato covered stringsaround his fork and shovelling them into his mouth. Soon there was tomato sauce all over his hairy chin. “It’s not as good asthe ordinary kind,” he said, talking with this mouth full. “It’s too squishy.” “I find it very tasty,” Mrs Twit said. She was watching him from the other end of thetable. It gave her great pleasure to watchhim eat worms. “I find it rather bitter,” Mr Twit said. “It’s got a distinctly bitter flavour. Buy the other kind next time.”

Mrs Twit waited until Mr Twit had eatenthe whole plateful. Then she said: “Youwant to know why your spaghetti was squishy?” Mr Twit wiped the tomato sauce from his beard with a corner of the tablecloth. “Why?” he said. “And why ithad a nasty bitter taste?” “Why?” he said.“Because it was worms!” cried Mrs Twit,clapping her hands and stamping her feet onthe floor and rocking with horrible laughter.
