D uring a normal working day at Spotlight, I spend my time writing, editing, attending meetings and planning up-coming issues. The past few weeks, though, have been different. Our focus in this issue is on food, so I set up

my laptop in a corner of my kitchen at home and spent some happy hours preparing dishes to share with you. It wasn’t hard to decide which recipes to choose: the pie is not only a very British dish, my German mum learned to bake pies from her English mother-in-law, so I called up my mother when I got stuck somewhere between the pastry and the filling. Join me in the kitchen on page 12. If you prefer to read about food rather than cook or bake, why not take a culinary trip around the English-speak-ing world with Spotlight authors who share their favour-ite meals, desserts and snacks with you? The journey begins on page 18.

You can also feast on the language of food. In the lan-guage section of the magazine, you’ll find lots of words and phrases to do with cooking and eating, from the vocabulary of the kitchen to the words you’ll need to plan a party. Start reading and learning on page 50. Finally, in our My Life in English column (page 78), one of Germany’s youngest vintners, Julia Seyffardt, tells us about her experiences of working at a winery in South Africa. Cheers!

Spotlight 12/2018 WORLD MAP

WORLD MAP

Dig in!Spotlight macht Appetit auf mehr – mit kleinen Köstlichkeiten aus der englischsprachigen Welt.

MEDIUM

Whether a meal is formal or informal, its early stages usually involve offering guests something to eat or drink before the main event. So, to wel-come you to this special issue on food, we take a playful look at what starters (UK English), or appetizers (North American English), different countries in the English-speaking world might typically put on the menu. As this world map shows, choices can be light and healthy, such as grilled shrimps in Australia, or less healthy but very tasty, such as a cheese-and-bacon game-day dip in the US. No matter where you go, culture and local ingredients will define what is served. If you like to eat, and at Spotlight we do, then you might be open to trying just about anything. Enjoy!
