Kitchen vocabulary for English Learners : A Matching Puzzle

Here comes again a matching exercise for English learners. You may have noticed that I like them very much. 

Matching exercises are an excellent way to learn a language. They can help you remember and recall words and phrases better because you are actively working with them. In addition, they are fun and interactive, which makes them a great way to learn. They also help you feel more confident when you are learning by allowing you to practice your language skills in a low-pressure, non-threatening environment. Finally, matching exercises are a way for you to test your knowledge and understanding of the language you are learning, which makes you more aware of your strengths and weaknesses. 

The matching game below should be an easy one for beginners, but if it is not, just scroll down to the bottom of this article to find the solutions as usual.
