B1 Food & Eating Vocabulary: Eating Out, Diet and Describing Food
This B1 Food & Eating Vocabulary module covers 55 words for eating out, eating well and talking about what you eat — a balanced diet, protein, calories and allergies on one side, and the phrasal verbs English uses at the table on the other: eat out, cut down on, fill up, pig out. Ten words come back from the A2 food module, so the deck opens on ground you already know. Every word comes with flashcards, a word-formation drill, a collocations match and a twelve-question quiz, free and self-scoring.

What’s inside this module
Five stages: revisit what you know, meet the new words, build other forms from them, pair them with the words they normally go with, then test yourself.
Words you already know
A warm-up deck of eight words you first met at A2 — taste, meal, cook, fresh, rich, sweet, bitter, appetite. Each card shows what you knew before, what changes at this level, and an example using the B1 sense. Reading it first makes the main deck feel much shorter.
Flashcards
Fifty-five cards, each with the word, its part of speech, a B1 definition, an example sentence, and two typical collocations on the back — a balanced diet, high in protein, a crowded restaurant. Rate each card “I knew it” or “Still learning” and your ratings are saved automatically.
Word formation
Eight gap sentences that ask for a different form of a word you have just met: health becomes healthy, allergic becomes allergy, recommend becomes recommendation, starving becomes starve. Every answer comes with a one-line explanation of why that form fits the gap.
Collocations & phrases
Ten pairs from real eating: cut down on sugar, a balanced diet, a food allergy, a sweet tooth, lose your appetite, leave a generous tip. A sweet tooth is the kind of fixed phrase you cannot work out from the two words in it.
12-question quiz
A mix of multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank, with an explanation after every answer, right or wrong. Your best score is saved automatically.
How to get the most from it
Five habits that make B1 vocabulary stick, not just pass a quiz.
The phrasal verbs are the B1 step
Eat out, eat in, cut down on, give up, fill up, go off, warm up and pig out are what separate B1 food language from A2 food language. Milk that has gone off has not gone anywhere. Learn these as complete phrases, never as a verb plus a preposition you translate separately.
Learn the restaurant words in order
The deck runs from book a table and read the menu through to leave a tip, with the module’s own course words in between. Learning them in the order a real meal happens makes them far easier to recall than an alphabetical list, and it is the order you will need them in if you are asked to describe a meal out.
Say more than good and bad
Reasonable, overpriced, crowded and homemade let you review a place instead of just liking it. One precise adjective in a sentence is what moves a description from A2 to B1, and this deck gives you eight of them.
Come back for the re-deal
After you finish the flashcard deck, it automatically rebuilds itself from just the words marked “still learning.” A short second pass on the hard ones is worth more than repeating the whole deck.
Use one this week
Write a two-sentence review of the last place you ate, using one adjective and one phrasal verb from this module — overpriced, crowded, homemade, eat out, fill up. Two honest sentences do more than a second pass through the deck.
