The Secret to a Perfect Family Dinner

Last Saturday, my aunt, a professional cook, taught me how to prepare a tasty stir fry using a wok.

First, I had to peel and slice carrots, then chop some chicken into small pieces.

She showed me how to beat two eggs in a bowl and pour them into a hot frying pan.

While the eggs cooked, she heated oil in the wok on the hob and added the chicken to stir fry it quickly.

Next, we added the carrots and a sauce, making sure to stir everything together.

For the main dish, she placed a whole chicken in the oven to roast, and on the grill, she cooked some vegetables on a grillpan.

Meanwhile, I learned to grate cheese for a topping and stew some tomatoes in a saucepan.

The cake tin was ready for a dessert, but we decided to bake a simple cake later.

When everything was ready, we tasted the food—the stir fry was tasty and not tasteless at all.

My aunt said the secret is to never forget to taste while cooking.

The dinner was so tasty that everyone asked for seconds!

I realized that cooking with a cooker and the right tools, like a good frying pan or grill, can make any meal delicious.
