It's a pleasure to seehandsome guy show in front of the camera to tell and demonstratehow to cook; moreover,  he provides not only some tipsabout which goes perfectly with which but also some basicknowledage of cooking.  Though some materials are quite hardto find here in Taiwan or at my home,  to watch the programmeis the luxury of my life so far.  
Today, I found a word-epicurean.  With capital E, the wordrefers to one party in philosophy who prefer to live inenjoyment.  This word can also be an adjective or anoun.  Both of them depict people who love totaste delicious food.  Everyone is epicurean and forme, to cook by my own is a great joy and  anachievement.

After doing a whole lot of exercises,  i found that my English is not that good at all.  Actually, my English is quite poor.  The fact strikes my confidence down.  Happen to see this quiz on BBC website and it's quite fun that you never know there's such an idiom.  See if you can get the correct answers.

2: The situation _______ over and soon people started shouting and fighting.

The French seem to have the perfect lifestyle: long lunches, short hours, great food and plenty of ooh-la-la. But their new president is determined to make them work harder, faster, more efficiently - just like the British and Americans. Merde alors, says Stuart Jeffries
