Welcome to today's lesson!

How would you give instructions to someone in English?

Have you heard of 'back to back chef' before? If yes, what is it?

Back to Back chef

- Only 1 person has the recipe.

- You cannot see what the other is doing.

- You have to communicate with each other in order to cook correctly.

A video will be shown with short questions.
Pay attention to how they give instructions!

How will Shane (the guy on the left) be able to cook?

1. By listening to Gordon's voice
2. By looking at the recipe
3. By trusting his own amazing cooking skills
4. By guessing

What went wrong here?

1. Gordon told Shane to grab the wrong ingredient
2. Shane didn't put the crab flat side down
3. Shane dropped the crab
4. Shane grabbed the wrong ingredient

How can you prevent this?

Check with your 'colleague' whether they've understood.
For example: let them explain what they are doing themselves.

"What are you doing?"
"I'm putting the crab flat side down, as you instructed". 

Why did Shane not get the nuggets?

1. He didn't push hard enough with the knife
2. He dropped the legs
3. He was too weak
4. He pushed too hard with the knife

Where did Gordon tell Shane to put the crab? Did Shane do this correctly?
(2 answers are correct)

1. Throw it to the side
2. No
3. Put it back in the bowl
4. Yes

What confused Shane about the dicing?

1. He thought it had to be big pieces
2. He was using the wrong knife
3. He didn't know what centimetres are

When facing important steps:

Spend a little bit longer explaining, to make sure you are understood.

Shane didn't know what centimetres are.
Express when you don't understand what you have to do. By communicating you can figure out a solution together.

How could Gordon have acted differently here?

What did Shane do with the egg that was incorrect?

1. He added it too soon
2. He added too many eggs
3. He dropped it
4. He forgot to crack it open

Be precise!

Gordon forgot to mention one detail which confused Shane. Try to avoid this when preparing your recipes. 

If there is anything that confuses you, the chef, when looking at the recipe: spend some extra time on that part.

"All of it?" "No, lightly sprinkle"
How could Gordon have done this differently?

1. Say the actual measurements
2. This was perfect

How high did they have to heat up the pan?

1. 80 degrees
2. Medium high
3. 100 degrees
4. High

How are you going to make sure to not have your dish turn out like this?

What did you learn from Gordon's way of instructing?

Can you do better than Gordon?
