Fun with Measuring in Hospitality & Catering!

Introduction: Let’s Get Cooking!

Welcome, young chefs! 🍳 Today, we're going to dive into the wonderful world of measuring. In hospitality and catering, measuring is super important because it helps us make delicious food and drinks!

Magical Measuring Story

Meet Chef Lily

Once upon a time, in a busy kitchen, there lived a cheerful chef named Lily. Chef Lily loved to bake cookies, but she had a tiny problem: she didn't always remember how much of each ingredient to use! One day, she decided to throw a cookie party for her friends. But how could she get it right?

The Special Measuring Tools

Chef Lily had some magical measuring tools:

1. Measuring Cups - to help her measure flour and sugar.
2. Measuring Spoons - for little bits of salt and vanilla.
3. A Scale - for when she needed to weigh bigger ingredients.

The Fun Challenge

But oh no! Chef Lily ran out of time to bake her cookies! She needed your help. Can you help her measure the right amount of ingredients to bake the perfect batch of cookies?

Let’s Measure Together!
