Students have the opportunity to examine the popular topic of food through the perspective of an entrepreneur. They will discover how small businesses are created in Canada and how these businesses succeed as students complete the following activities: watch a video of students creating an original restaurant and of a teen chef preparing his secret recipe, examine menus and secret recipes, discover prices and calculate costs with a profit, and discuss basic principles of décor and promotion. They read texts about Canadian entrepreneurs and restaurants, as well as examine menus and recipes from many cultures. Students also write shopping lists and menus.

Final Task: with a partner, students create and present a business plan for an original restaurant that includes a menu, a secret recipe, a décor design, and a promotional jingle.

Age appropriate, full-colour and motivating themes, containing opportunities for speaking, listening, reading, and writing, presented in a variety of formats. Also included are models of final tasks, video clips, learning strategy boxes, and examination of grammar in Quête-language boxes. A mini reference hand-book "Mini-guide", located at the back of the student book, includes literacy strategies, additional information related to the theme, and a summary of all language structures presented in the unit.
