地道美语听力练习:在烹饪中加入秘制香料

Gisela:That smells wonderful!

Danny:This is my family's recipe.

The secret is in the combination of seasonings we use.

Gisela:I can see that.

You must have 30 different dried and fresh herbs and spices on this counter.

Danny:To get a bold flavor, we use a lot of aromatic seeds, barks, and roots.

Gisela:How much do you put in of each one?

Danny:Precise measurements aren't really necessary.

I put in a pinch of this and a dash of that.

I add them to taste.

Gisela:So getting the recipe wouldn't do me any good, huh?

Danny:I'm afraid not.

I learned how to make this in my mother's kitchen.

Gisela:Would you teach me if I volunteered to be your apprentice, doing all of your prep work?

Danny:That depends.

Gisela:On what?

Danny:On how quick you are with this potato peeler.
