Rodney Dale

The Wordsworth Dictionary of Culinary & Menu Terms contains over 12,000 entries and will be invaluable to chefs and gourmands, fascinating to browsers and crossword enthusiasts, and a handy companion for hungry travellers or those wishing to avoid potential pitfalls of self-catering and ordering meals in restaurants in foreign lands. In short, this book is essential reading for those who want to know the difference between chiorro, chiozzo, choko and chorizo, or who cannot tell a kaboucha from a kabanosi.

Rodney Dale has assembled and arranged a rich diet of terms used for ingredients and recipes which are encountered world-wide. This pabular vocabulary will be eagerly embraced by all those interested in and engaged in food and its preperation from whatever culture and tradition they may come.
