Marie would like help to understand some French words and expressions related to cooking:

“I like cooking and as such talk about it quite a lot. I seem to get confused about the different verbs eg faire cuisiner, cuisiner, faire la cuisine, cuire, faire cuire and often do not know quite which expression is commonly used. When I study their meanings, it seems straightforward, but when I go to speak, it is another thing…”

Ok, let’s do a bit of vocabulary and, as usual, brush-up some grammar notions!
