[9thCW] KITCHEN VERBS/ACTIONS (& links to previous cooking posts)

As we've already decided what we'll be working on in the English classes for this year's Culural Week devoted to Gastronomy:

- Writing RECIPES of either British, American, Spanish or international dishes, to make up different recipe books.

- and/or VIDEO-RECIPES to be shown during the cultural week, preparing any dishes but explaining them in English.

And as some students are already choosing their dish and starting with their recipes, this post refreshes important vocabulary that you'll need to write them: KITCHEN VERBS/ACTIONS.
