ASK CHEF CHERYL                                  The Daily Gazette

Dear Chef Cheryl,

My wife cooks on weekends, and I cook on weeknights. She always makes great dinners, but she doesn’t like what I cook. I cook the same dinner all the time, and I can’t cook very well. I would like to make interesting food. What should I do?

Cooking Terribly Tom

Dear Cooking Terribly Tom,

If you always cook the same things, your family isn’t going to want to eat your food. You should make a new recipe once a week (or more!). You can use simple ingredients like salt, pepper, and lemon. The idea is easy, but the results are great.

When you go shopping, you should always buy one new ingredient. Then you’re always going to have something new to cook with.

Try going online to find quick, easy recipes. There are many good websites. If you make new recipes, your family is going to love your dinners! Good luck!

Example: Chef Cheryl has a question about cooking. ( True ) ( ✓ False )

49. Tom usually cooks new things for dinner.

50. Chef Cheryl plans to teach Tom to cook.
