Conversation 1

Charlie:Good morning. Thanks for giving me an opportunity for a job interview.

Manager:We've gone through your resume and found that you have worked in an English restaurant and performed well. But the point is we only operate an Italian cuisine.Though you have an outstanding education background in Italian cooking,I'm still wondering if you're skilled in the regional food of Italy.

Charlie:I think I am qualified for the Italian cooking,because I'm the only chef in charge of Italian food in that English restaurant. And due to my excellent work,they sent me to Italy for an exchange program.I have learned a lot of traditional Italian cuisine in this program.

Manager:Well,that's nice. Are you specialized in starters,as this would be the first impression for the customers?

Charlie:Yes. I'm good at different kind of starters,such as bocconcini salad,barley mushroom risotto,classic bruschetta,fennel and orange salad……

Manager:Wonderful. Tomorrow we would like to test your practical skills in the kitchen.Good luck with your final interview.

Charlie:Thanks a lot. I will go all for it.

对话1:

查理:早上好!谢谢您给我这个面试的机会。

经理:我们看了你的简历,发现你以前在一家英国餐馆工作过,表现不错。但是问题是我们是一家经营意大利菜的饭店。尽管你有出色的意大利菜的学习背景,我还想知道你在意大利地方菜方面有没有专长?

查理:我觉得我有资格做意大利菜,因为在那家英国餐馆,我是唯一一位负责意大利菜的厨师。由于我杰出的工作能力,被派往意大利进行交换学习。在这个项目中,我学习了许多传统意大利菜。

经理:嗯,很好。你擅长做开胃菜吗?那可是顾客的第一印象。

查理:是的,我擅长各种开胃品,比如意大利干酪球沙拉、大麦蘑菇烩饭、经典普切塔面包、茴香橘子沙拉等等。

经理:太棒了。明天我们想看看你的厨房实操技能展示。祝你最后的面试好运!

舌尖美食文化

Antipasto means"before the meal"and is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Traditional antipasto includes cured meats,olives,peperoncini,mushrooms,anchovies,artichoke hearts,various cheeses(such as provolone or mozzarella),pickled meats and vegetables in oil or vinegar.

意式开胃菜就是餐前点,是意大利菜式传统的第一道菜。传统意式开胃菜包括腊肉、橄榄、意式辣香肠、蘑菇、鳀、洋蓟芯、各式奶酪(如菠萝伏洛干酪、意大利干酪)、腌肉、腌蔬菜等等。

The contents of an antipasto vary greatly according to regional cuisine. It is quite possible to find in the south of Italy different preparations of saltwater fish and traditional southern cured meats,whereas in northern Italy it will contain different kinds of cured meats and mushrooms and probably,especially near lakes,preparations of freshwater fish.The cheeses included also vary significantly between regions and backgrounds.
