Read an extract from the diary of a frustrated and indecisive housewife and give a summery of it.
What can I do for dinner today? Something simple but nourishing, tasty but not too “hot” or spicy, not too exotic but not too plain… I’ve got a few eggs, I could give them poached, scrambled or fried. They don’t like boiled eggs. I suppose I could make an omelette, but I’d been planning to use those eggs in a cake. I’ve got lots of flour, butter, sugar and icing sugar and for a filling I could use those raspberries from the garden. Then again, those raspberries are so nice and fresh, it’s a pity to put them in a cake. Better to have them raw after dinner or put into a fruit salad or bottle them or make jam with them. Concentrate! How about a raspberry tart for dessert. The pastry would be no problem. Or, perhaps, I could make a flan – it would make a nice change. If there’s any left over I could always use it on some biscuits or macaroon – the kids would love that. Now I’ve got it! Forget the flan. A meat pie! I’ve got some meat in the freezer. It’s not their favourite, of course. They prefer their meat roast. But that meat is no good for roasting. I could braise it, but that takes such a long time. I could mince it and then… No. Perhaps a stew – a big casserole, that’s easy enough…. But I’ll have to cook some potatoes. Roast potatoes wouldn’t go. Jacket potatoes are easiest but these potatoes are so small. We’ve have them boiled for 5 days. They can’t stand them mashed. Chips don’t really go with stew… I’d better bake those little potatoes after all. No, no more potatoes. I’ve got all I need to do some baking. They’d love some oven-warm bread. I could make a few buns or scones. If they have some nice bread they probably won’t want more than soup with it thick vegetable soup – that’s it. I’ve got some carrots and …. In fact, a salad won’t be a bad idea. I’ve got oil, vinegar and mustard for a dressing. Oh, hello. Have a nice day? What would you say to a nice Chinese takeaway this evening?

A well-made soup will have a good colour, flavour and consistency, and will be served at the correct serving temperature with the appropriate garnish. To estimate the required amount of soup needed for any number of orders, allow four portions per litre (or 250 mL per serve). Soups are normally classified into unthickened soups (consommé s, bouillons, broths) and thickened soups (purees, cré mes and bisques). Consommé s are clear soups prepared from strong stocks, which are flavoured with various meats (poultry, game, fish), vegetables, herbs and seasonings. They must be crystal clear when cooked. They are served alone or with a simple garnish. The name of the soup is often taken from the garnish used, for example „consommé a la julienne“ which has thin julienne strips of root vegetables, or „consommé Italienne“ which is garnished with pasta. Bouillons are served in the same way as consommé s. Broths are unstrained soups made from stock, and garnished with a cereal, diced vegetables, meat or fish. True or False? 1. A well-made soup will have a green colour. 2. Soups are normally classified into unthickened soups and thickened soups. 3. Consommé s are served alone or with a simple garnish. 4. Bouillons are served in the same way as consommé s.
Thickened Soups
Purees are made from fresh, diced vegetables cooked in stock. The ingredients in the soup are passed through a sieve or blender to make a thick soup. Cré mes (cream soups) are thickened with cream. There are two ways to make a cream soup: · A bé chamel sauce is prepared, added to the pureed ingredients and finished with stock and cream. · A puree is made from the ingredients and then cream is added. Bisques are made with fish stock, vegetables, wines, herbs and seasonings. They are thickened with rice, passed through a sieve and finished with wine and cream. Principles of making soup 1. Use good quality fresh ingredients. 2. Use a well-flavoured stock instead of water. 3. Season well with salt, pepper and herbs. 4. Remove any fat from the surface with kitchen paper or a ladle. The various types of thickenings used in soups are: Starch, such as flour, corn flour or rice flour, is blended with cold liquid then added to the soup. Egg yolk and cream are used to thicken soups. Egg yolks are blended with milk or cream and a little of the soup. This mixture is then added to the rest of the soup and stirred. True or False? 1. Purees are made from meat. 2. Cré mes are thickened with ice-cream. 3. Bisques are made with fish stock, vegetables, wines, herbs and seasonings. 4. The mixture is then added to the rest of the soup and stirred.
