Here comes the guest!

Imagine your family is going to have a very important guest coming to your house for dinner.

Your mother has decided to cook for the guest tonight. She is going to the supermarket to shop for the food items needed for dinner. She told you in advance what she is going to cook for tonight and she wants you to help her prepare the utensils so that she can cook immediately when she gets back from her marketing.

The menu for tonight is:
1) main course: chicken chop, french fries and mashed potatoes
2) drink: red wine
3) desert: durian cake

Identify the untensils needed for each dish. Whenever possible, categorise the utensil according to the different types of simple machines.
