Home Cooking

An Eiken Grade 2 layered reader about everyday home cooking in a Japanese house. Follow Keiko, a homemaker in her early forties, and her seventeen-year-old daughter Yuki as they learn useful English: the names of dishes and cutlery, home table manners, talking about favourite food, inviting a friend to dinner, planning meals, baking bread, family recipes, and leftover food. Each chapter ends with a word list and a Grade 2 writing task (a 45–55 word summary or an 80–100 word opinion essay). Recipes are ordinary American and European home dishes, written in our own words with realistic household quantities. They have not yet been kitchen-tested. Facts about food safety, date labels, and nutrition are taken from named official sources.
