Dear reader Food is important to us! What we eat varies from person to person and culture to culture, but there is one thing we can all agree on; food has always brought people together. In this issue you will meet people that work with food in some way or another.

Maybe some texts will make you start thinking about what you eat and how it can affect you.

I hope the recipes will inspire you to make delicious food for people who are close to you. Have fun writing texts as well as making role-plays, presentations, television programmes and dinner parties!

THE NAKED

F E H C

Jamie Oliver is an inspiration to people.

He makes cooking look very easy and his dishes look fantastic. When you watch his cooking programme, you start thinking; “It can’t be that hard, right?”

Jamie Oliver grew up in Essex where his parents 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 chef from an early age. He studied in England and in France. His plan was to learn as much 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 and a half years. In this restaurant he learned how 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 has made more cookery programmes since then, and his cookbooks are also very popular.Is it possible to become famous when you make 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 have not been so lucky in life a new chance.

That is why he started cookery courses

Let´s cook! • 5

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 Fifteen restaurants in Britain.

In Britain, schools serve children one hot meal 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 kitchen for one year to show people that it was possible to serve healthy and tasty food to children. The UK Government contributed

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

I AM A VEGETARIAN! On the Move has talked to Amy Holland who is a vegetarian. I meet Amy outside the school 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.

»

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´t eat red meat, fish or poultry. Some don´t even eat eggs or dairy products such as cheese and milk.

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

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

They believe that we get a healthier diet by not eating meat. I know that my mum has never liked meat, either red meat or poultry. 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.

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”.

Ask Alvin Dear Alvin

Dear Alvin

I often argue with my parents about food. I am picky, but my parents don’t want to hear it. “As long as you are in this house, you eat what you are served,” they say. This week my dad made an Asian dish with a lot of vegetables I have never seen before. I simply refused to eat it. Can you call my parents and tell them a thing or two?

Tom, 14

I wanted to surprise my mum with fresh bread straight from the oven yesterday. I got so sad when I saw the result. The bread was flat and hard and it didn’t taste good.

What have I done wrong? I followed the recipe step by step.

Christian

Dear Tom I understand both you and your parents.

Not everybody can like everything. But I think that everything should be tried at least once. If you don’t try, you could miss out on your new favourite dish! I also think maybe it is time you start making your own food? Offer to make dinner a couple of days a week. Then you know that you get something you like!

Dear Christian My first thought is that you have forgotten to put yeast in the dough. Is it possible?

Yeast is the ingredient that makes the dough rise. No yeast, no airy bread!

Remember to mix the yeast with milk or water that has a temperature between 37–39 degrees. I wish you the best of luck!

I am sure you will get a better result next time.

You are going to bake bread. You need to go to the grocery shop to buy the ingredients. Find a recipe and make the shopping list.

Hi Alvin

Dear Alvin

I work in a fast-food restaurant two afternoons a week and sometimes at the week-ends. The shifts are long, so I eat at the restaurant every time I work. I have always loved fast food, especially onion rings and fries. I can’t get enough! I know that too much fast food is not good for my body. I am wondering if there is food on our menu that is healthier to eat?

Darren, 15

My family is half Australian, but I have never lived in Australia and we have never celebrated any traditional Australian holidays. Now I would like to take up some of the traditions, starting with traditional holiday food. I am sure I can find recipes on the Internet, but I don’t know what to look for. Can you help me?

Claire

Hi Darren There are healthier options, even in a fastfood restaurant. Choose a fish or a chicken burger instead of a normal burger. The onion rings and fries have to go! Add a salad instead. In your day to day life I recommend you eat rice or baked potatoes instead of fries. You could also cut dressing and cheese on the burger. And drink water instead of a soft drink.

Good luck!

Dear Claire What a nice idea! Since Australia used to be a British colony, many of the holiday traditions are the same as in Britain. That also goes for the food, such as the traditional Christmas pudding. But you could try to find a recipe for Anzac biscuits.

Anzac biscuits (named after the term for Australian and New Zealand soldiers) are quite easy to make and have become a national favourite in Australia. Good luck!

Grabbing food on the go is a normal routine for many people. Fast food restaurants make it possible to buy food and eat 24 hours a day. You don’t even have to go into the restaurant and sit down. Now you can order food by using the drive-through system and eat in the car. This system seems to fit our society quite well.

What is fast food? It is food which is served very quickly in a restaurant, kiosk or café. It is kept warm or it is reheated.

A fast food menu often consists of a hamburger, fries and a beverage – usually a Coca-Cola. If you pay a little more, you get a bigger beverage and more fries. Eating fast food usually means more calories, fat, sugar and carbohydrates. America is the homeland of fast food. An average American eats big portions of hamburgers and fries three or four times a week.

Carlo Petrini is the founder of the slow food movement.

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 all children to come and eat at McDonald’s.

Many parents accept his invitation more than once a week. They get to eat and relax, while their children get to eat and play. In our day to day life many people do not take the time to think about what a fast food menu contains compared to food you can make at home.

As a reaction to all the fast food eaters, a slow food movement was founded in the 1980s. The slow food movement believes that the food we eat should be produced

Let´s cook! • 15

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

Many supermarkets now offer healthier products 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 and fries. More stores also sell peeled and sliced fruits and vegetables. This may help you to eat the minimum of five fruits and vegetables a day.

Fast food eaters who are overweight are a problem, not only in the USA but in many countries all over the world. Take Japan for example: people are getting overweight because they choose fast food instead of their 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 on their menus such as white meat, salads and fresh fruit. Hopefully, people will pick one of those alternatives rather than a super size menu. It is of course better to make the food yourself. Get hold of a cookbook and start making your own food with a healthier touch. What’s stopping you?

A TASTE OF THE WORLD Andy Brown is both loved and hated by restaurant owners all over the country. He has his own column which is printed every Saturday in Today’s News. People read his reviews with great interest. Andy Brown knows that his opinion means a lot. He makes it clear that he will never put his pen down and stop being a food critic. He loves his job! On the Move joined him at work.

bad critics, but sometimes he just has to.

“I have to be honest with the readers, the owners of the restaurant and myself,” he says. Tonight we are going to a newly opened restaurant called A taste of the world.

“I never go to a restaurant on opening night. It is not the right atmosphere. There are only a lot of noisy people that are there to get free food and drinks,” he says.

Andy doesn’t care if the restaurant people love him or hate him. “It goes with the job,” 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.

A taste of the world has food from all the corners of the world. Tonight we are having food from the Caribbean cuisine. Andy knows that it is their speciality because the chef comes from Jamaica.

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

The waitress serves us a bean soup as a starter. It tastes delicious, but it is a bit spicy. Andy starts making notes. “Read the paper on Saturday,” he tells me and hides his 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, even if he doesn’t say too much about the food.

Before we leave the restaurant, Andy thanks the waitress for a very nice evening. His last comment is: “Do not forget to read Today’s News on Saturday, page 3.”

Three days later Andy has written his review: “It is worth visiting “A taste of the world”. Their menu is filled with wonderful flavours. The tastes are brilliant! You will be dreaming about the meal for a long time to come. Have your next meal at “A taste of the world” and experience Caribbean food with a special touch.”

This month´s Read THE WORMY SPAGHETTI I 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 that this hairiness made him look terrifically wise and grand.

Mr Twit didn’t even bother to open his mouth wide when he ate. As a result (and because he never washed) there were always hundreds of bits of old breakfasts and lunches and suppers sticking to the hairs 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 driedup scrambled eggs stuck to the hairs, and spinach and tomato ketchup and fish fingers and minced chicken livers and all the other disgusting 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 any rate would have hidden some of her fearful ugliness. But the funny thing is that Mrs

26 • On the Move

Twit wasn’t born ugly. She’d had quite a nice face when she was young. The ugliness had grown upon her year by year as she got older. In her right hand she carried a walking stick. She used to tell people that this was because she had warts growing on the sole of her left foot and walking was painful. But the real reason she carried a stick was so that she could hit things with it, things like dogs and cats and small children.

Mr and Mrs Twit have always played horrible tricks on each other. Mr Twit had put a 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 and dug up some worms. She chose big long ones and put them in a tin and carried the tin back to the house under her apron.

At one o’clock she cooked spaghetti for lunch and she mixed the worms in with the spaghetti, but only on her husband’s plate. 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

a mouthful from her own plate which of course had no worms. “It’s called Squiggly Spaghetti. It’s delicious. Eat it up while it’s nice and hot.” Mr Twit started eating, twisting the long tomato covered strings around his fork and shovelling them into his mouth. Soon there was tomato sauce all over his hairy chin. “It’s not as good as the 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 the table. It gave her great pleasure to watch him 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 eaten the whole plateful. Then she said: “You want 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 it had a nasty bitter taste?” “Why?” he said.

“Because it was worms!” cried Mrs Twit, clapping her hands and stamping her feet on the floor and rocking with horrible laughter.

De enkleste tekstene og oppgavene er merket med grønn farge, og tekster og oppgaver av middels vanskegrad er merket med blå farge. Det vil finnes tekster og oppgaver av høyere vanskegrad som kopieringsoriginaler i lærerveiledningen.
