雅思考試的一個目的是測試考生在英語國家的生存能力，所以考題中有很大一部分都是生活場景，和人們的衣食住行密不可分，都是我們在異國他鄉的生活中一定會經歷的。所以在口語考試中會有食物烹飪這個類別的考題。無論今后在海外的生活中是要買菜、點餐還是做飯，食物的名稱都是需要了解的。那么我們今天就一起來盤點一下平時我們餐桌上的豐盛美味吧。
staple food是我們一日三餐中最重要的，在中國，南方人喜歡吃rice，而北方人則習慣吃corn, barley, wheat它們都是grain為我們的身體提供能量。隨著人們越來越注重營養，中國人的早餐桌上也開始出現cornflake, whole-wheat bread, croissant, toast, doughnut，而不是傳統的porridge。這些都是西方人常吃的，他們還特別鐘愛pastry。
除了主食之外美味的各色菜肴會給人們提供各種身體所需的營養。其中蔬菜一直是健康食物的首選，人們菜籃子里常見的蔬菜有cabbage, spinach, lettuce, celery, radish, carrot, cauliflower, eggplant, cucumber, mushroom, fungus, tomato, potato, onion。

一頓豐盛的餐宴還應該有seafood，在西方的餐桌上也有中國人常說的海味shellfish, oyster, lobster, crab, jellyfish, salmon, cod, sardine, shrimp都能讓人饞涎欲滴。中國人常吃的魚類有crucian carp, eel, hair-tail fish。在餐館的menu中這些都屬于main dish。

有沒有聽說過牛肉應該配red wine而魚肉應該配white wine？美好的生活怎么可以少了酒哪，喜慶的日子要喝champagne，調酒師可以調出色澤鮮艷的cocktail，朋友聚會的時候大口大口的喝beer，餐前要飲aperitif，不喝酒的可以選擇juice, soda water, mineral water, coconut milk, lemonade，這些都是soft drink。
soup是不可不提的，有香濃的onion soup, chicken broth, clam chowder。最后一道一直都是dessert，國外的甜品更是品種多樣，有chocolate cake, cheese cake, pudding, ice cream，平時他們也喜歡吃apple pie, cookie。

午后享受著燦爛的陽光，可以沖上一杯black tea, green tea, scented tea或是濃郁的coffee, hot chocolate，睡前喝點yogurt, skim milk也是養生之道。所有的這些酒和飲料都被稱作beverage。還差了什么，當然是fruit，orange, lemon, coconut, peach, plum, cherry, grape, strawberry, watermelon, kiwi fruit, mango都是香甜美味，營養豐富的。

如此美食怎么不叫人留戀，那就趕快看看recipe來學著做一下，生活又多了一種樂趣。買來的菜要先rinse，帶皮的還需要peel，有些需要soak, marinate然后chop, slice, mince，把他們和調料blend。我們經常用的spices有soy-sauce, sauce, chili sauce, vinegar也可以在上面sprinkle調味品，比如pepper, salt有時放入ginger, garlic去除腥味，或是coat面粉，接著就看你喜歡怎么做了，可以bake, barbecue, boil, broil, stew, simmer, steam, deep-fry, stir-fry, pan-fry, blanch，做湯的時候如果要追求養生還會加入herb。
如果是面制品，則需要knead, roll, seal, twist。西方人還喜歡在菜中加入cheese, butter, milk，還會拌上marmalade。在烹制的過程中我們會用到bowl, plate, pan, pot, wok。

談論到食物當然離不開比較各地的飲食習慣，這一點在考題中也有體現。在中國食物有著相當重要的地位，外國人認為It's hard to exaggerate the role food plays in Chinese society - people frequently greet each other by asking have you eaten yet? 但是現在，我們的飲食習慣也在被逐漸改變，西方fast food, takeaway都已經深入到我們的生活之中了。
