Whenever_I_feel_lonely,I_have_a_secret_recipe①_that_never_fails:_rice,milk_and_sugar,cooked_low_and_slow. _No_matter_how_bad_my_mood②_is,that perfect combination③ is always enough to lift my spirits④.Sometimes_the_smell_alone_can_do_the_trick⑤,not_to_mention⑥_the_lovely_creamy⑦_flavour⑧,which_works_like_a_time_machine_immediately_transporting_me_back_to_my_sunny_childhood.With pleasure⑨,I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma's flat,listening_to_her_wonderful_stories_and_greedily⑩_eating_bowl_after_bowl_of_her_delicious_rice_pudding.I take my time over⑪ every spoonful,gently⑫ rolling the silky dessert⑬ around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk.Before I know it,I'm happy again.
Whenever I feel lonely是Whenever引导的时间状语从句。that never fails是定语从句,修饰a secret recipe。 cooked low and slow 是过去分词短语作定语,修饰rice,milk and sugar。
No matter how引导让步状语从句。
not to mention引出附加成分,which引导一个非限制性定语从句,修饰the lovely creamy flavour;后面的transporting me back to my sunny childhood为现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰名词短语 a time machine。
and连接两个现在分词短语作伴随状语。
