    English Bread is baked fresh daily by the baker on the corner. The smell in the morning is wonderful.

    يخبز الخباز في الزاوية الخبز طازجًا يوميًا. رائحته في الصباح رائعة.

    English Chicken can be cooked in many different ways. I have been experimenting with new recipes all month.

    يمكن طهي الدجاج بطرق عديدة. لقد جربت وصفات جديدة طوال الشهر.

  3. Mark
    English My favourite is grilled chicken with herbs. The flavour is absolutely incredible.

    طبقي المفضل هو الدجاج المشوي بالأعشاب. النكهة مذهلة تمامًا.

  4. Jenny
    English Cream is used for making sauces, but I try to avoid too much because of my diet. The chef suggested using yogurt instead.

    تُستخدم الكريمة في تحضير الصلصات، لكني أحاول تجنّب كميات كبيرة بسبب نظامي الغذائي. اقترح الطاهي استخدام الزبادي بدلًا منها.

  5. Mark
    English That is a smart substitute. I have also been adding garlic to almost everything I cook.

    بديل ذكي. أنا أيضاً أضيف الثوم تقريباً إلى كل شيء أطبخه.

  6. Jenny
    English Garlic is brilliant for taste and health. My grandmother used to say it cures any illness.

    الثوم ممتاز للطعم والصحة. كانت جدتي تقول إنه يشفِي من أي مرض.

  7. Mark
    English She might have been right. Studies show that garlic is genuinely good for the heart.

    قد تكون على حق. تظهر الدراسات أن الثوم مفيد حقًا للقلب.

  8. Jenny
    English I have been using more herbs too. Fresh basil and parsley make ordinary dishes taste gourmet.

    أستخدم المزيد من الأعشاب أيضًا. الريحان والبقدونس الطازجان يجعلان الأطباق العادية ألذ.

  9. Mark
    English True. The flour I bought last week was also exceptional. My bread came out perfectly the first time.

    صحيح. الطحين الذي اشتريته الأسبوع الماضي كان ممتازًا أيضًا. خبزي خرج مثالياً من المحاولة الأولى.

  10. Jenny
    English I should start baking my own bread again. It saves money and tastes much better than the supermarket version.

    يجب أن أبدأ مرة أخرى في صنع الخبز بنفسي. هذا يوفر المال وطعمه أفضل بكثير من خبز المتجر.

  11. Mark
    English Definitely. Cooking from scratch is the most satisfying hobby I know.

    بالتأكيد. الطهي من الصفر هو أكثر الهوايات إرضاءً بالنسبة لي.

  12. Jenny
    English Agreed. Let us swap recipes this weekend.

    اتفقنا. دعونا نتبادل الوصفات في نهاية هذا الأسبوع.
