Alicia Weston
So ultimately, we've been able to come up with a programme that basically can tackle all of these issues. So what we do now is we deliver all of the ingredients to their door, because ultimately, behaviour change starts with actually changing your behaviour at home.
Pippa
Alicia says that ultimately,she'sbeen able to come up with a solution to help people save money on healthy food. We can use the adverb ultimately to mean finally, after a series of events have happened.
Georgie
Alicia wants to tackle the things that stop people eating healthy food on a budget. If you tackle a problem, you try to deal with it.
Alicia's solution involves delivering ingredients and recipes to people and then using a WhatsApp group to talk to participants. Each WhatsApp group has a mentor who shares cooking tips and advice.
Pippa
To give you an idea of how this works, the team at People Fixing the World read out some of the messages on one of the 'Bags of Taste' WhatsApp chats
Amy, mentor
Remember to put the fridge bag in the fridge. Can we aim to cook recipe one by Tuesday evening? Our first recipe, chana masala is a classic. It needs an onion, which can be a pain to chop. So, try our way. [video posted]
Ally
Love this method [chef emoji]. First time I've chopped an onion like this and it's so neat and easy.
Georgia
I'm going to cook mine tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
Ally
I've finished making my chana masala. I was a bit too heavy-handed with the chilli. My husband likes a lot of spice. So, I'd reduce that next time.
Georgie
The mentor in the group, Amy, describes the recipe for chana masala as a classic. We call something a classic to say that it is well-known and of good quality. We can also describe a particular book, film or song as a classic.
Pippa
Amy sends a video to show a technique for cutting onions, which she describes as a pain tochop. If something is a pain to do, it is difficult or annoying to do.
Georgie
One of the participants, Ally, said that when she made the chana masala, she was a bit heavy-handed with the chilli. If you are heavy-handed with an ingredient, you use too much of it, and so Ally's chana masala was very spicy!
Pippa
Bags of Taste helps people learn new recipes and cook healthy food without spending too much money. It's certainly a lot cheaper than a meal at the restaurant in my question, Georgie. I asked you how much it costs for a meal at Sublimotion, thought to be the most expensive restaurant in the world.
Georgie
Yes, I said a meal was €2,650.
Pippa
Well, you were wrong. It's actually €1,650, but I think that's still pretty expensive.
Georgie
It definitely is. OK. Let's recap the vocabulary we've learned, starting with bags of, which means a lot of something.
Pippa
We can use the adverb ultimately to say finally, after a series of events.
Georgie
If you tackle a problem, you try to deal with it and find a solution
Pippa
If we describe something, like a recipe, as a classic, we mean it's well-known and of good quality.
Georgie
If something is a pain to do, it is annoying or difficult to do.
Pippa
And if you are heavy-handed with an ingredient, you use too much of it. For example, I made some soup the other day and I was a bit heavy-handed with the salt – it tasted disgusting!
Georgie
Oh, that's not very good! OK, once again, our 6 minutes are up. But you can test what you've learned with the interactive quiz on our website. Visit bbclearningenglish.com.

Bye for now.
Georgie
Bye!
