Let's cook up some fun today,
With words that make us hungry, I say!
We'll start with a dip that's creamy and cool,
It's perfect for veggies or chips to pool.

Next, we'll boil some pasta to perfection,
Adding sauce and cheese, a true affection.
Then, we'll broil some chicken, golden and crispy,
A juicy and delicious dish, never risky.

For a hearty stew, let's braise some beef,
Adding veggies and spices, oh what a relief!
We'll bake some cookies, sweet and warm,
A perfect treat to share and transform.

Be careful not to chop your fingers, my friend,
But chop some veggies, it's fun to blend!
If you burn the toast, don't worry or pout,
We can always try again, without a doubt.

Last but not least, let's barbecue,
Hot dogs and burgers, sizzling and new.
With these cooking words, we can create,
A yummy meal, let's not be late!
