What Kitchen Style Is Best For You?

1. A friend suggests getting together for dinner. You say:

Why don't you come on Friday night? I'll make some lamb chops, my special mint sauce, spinach salad, and some chocolate mousse for dessert?

Why don't you come on Saturday night? I'll throw some burgers on the grill? Maybe you can bring some potato salad?

Yeah, we should do that. Do you want to make reservations or shall I?

I'm sorry. I'm very busy this week. Let's catch up some day later?

2. It's your child's birthday and you have to bring in a treat for the rest of the class. You:

Send her to school with a box of Oreos and a bag of lollies.

Bake your child's favorite brownies out of a box mix.

Bake some cupcakes from scratch topped with icing in your child's favorite color!

Bake her favorite cookies.

3. A quick peek in your grocery cart will reveal:

Chicken breast, salad fixings, instant coffee, and box cake mix.

Fresh herbs, smoked salmon, a bottle of truffle-infused oil, camembert cheese and wine.

Frozen pizzas, box of cereal and yoghurt cups.

Chocolates, cakes and cold drinks.

4. Neighbours are talking about the new gourmet shop in town. You say:

Yes, I've already made a few trips. Their selection of cheeses is just fabulous!

Really? I must go and check it out the next time I'm having someone over for a meal.

Do they have precooked meals?

I don't want to go there!

5. When you go out to eat at a restaurant,

It's usually to celebrate a birthday, good report card or anniversary.

The Maître d' greets me by name because I go there often.

It's usually when I am not in a mood to cook.

6. The most-used appliance in your kitchen is:

My double oven.

My Crockpot.

My toaster oven.

Gather with my family. Have my kids do their homework while I make them dinner.

Experiment with different recipes and have friends over dinner.

8. After dinner, your cleanup routine usually involves:

Meticulously wiping down counters, hand washing special utensils, and cleaning appliances.

Tossing out the paper plates and food packaging.
