Questions about cooking in Canada/US...

Hi guys,

I just finished an translation of one episode of the cooking TV show from Canada called "Fresh" with Anna Olson...May I ask for help with some sentences from there...? Emotion: smile In most of the cases I've just a problem with a synonym of english word in my native language....Ok, here we go...

1) Anna: "I'm feeding the fire fighters today and to suit their busy lifestyle I've made dishes that are fabulous, hot or cold."

- I have a problem here with the right meaning of the word suit. Please did she mean..."...and to satisfy their busy lifestyle...."????

- I've made dishes that are fabulous hot or cold = I've made dishes that are fabulous, whether you serve them hot or cold?????

2) Anna was cooking in that episode really great looking peach, oatmeal griddle cookies. However, I don't know how to say "griddle cookies" in my native language..Emotion: sad...Please may I call itpeach, oatmeal pancakes? Because griddle is a fryer designated for the pancakes making...[:^)]

3) #2 was a snack, but as an entree, Anna made Salmon && Chickpea Toss.

Please what's the meaning of the word Toss in culinary? I checked some of my favourite dictionaries and not a word about Toss as an Noun...Emotion: sad.

4) Anna is having an interview with one the fireman in there.

Anna: So who does the cooking most? Are you the designated cook?

Fireman: At the hall? Yeah, they call me Jeff the chef, so that's my job.

Anna: You come by it honestly.(??????)

Fireman: Yeah, we have a lot of good cooks at the hall so we all work together. We got some that can't cook so they do the dishes...Emotion: big smile...Emotion: smileEmotion: sad(Please what does this sentence have in common with the fact that he's an designated cook in there???)

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Best Regards
