Download or read book Senn s Culinary Encyclop dia written by Charles Herman Senn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Senn's Culinary Encyclopædia: A Dictionary of Technical Terms, the Names of All Foods, Food and Cookery Auxiliaries, Condiments and Beverages; Specially Adapted for Use by Chefs, Hotel and Restaurant Managers, Cookery Teachers, Housekeepers, Etc;, Being a Revised, Greatly Improved, An The object of this little book is intended to show the reader at a glance the meaning of certain words and expressions used in cookery and gastronomy. It gives in a concise form such information which would otherwise cost much time and labour to obtain. It is a dictionary of culinary technical terms, the names of most food stuffs, food and cookery auxiliaries, condiments and beverages. The names of many new delicacies and foods will be found duly registered, whilst all the foreign terms used in menus and recipes are translated or explained. In short, every subject referring to the table or cuisine has been judiciously treated, and the so-called technicalities have been rendered intelligible. The work is by no means complete, and I do not wish it to be regarded as such; though I trust by means of it many a difficult question will be answered, and that it will be found a helpful and convenient manual of reference by professional cooks, cookery teachers, managers of hotels, clubs, restaurants, and of households.

Download or read book The Food Snob s Dictionary written by David Kamp and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2009-11-04 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food Snob n: reference term for the sort of food obsessive for whom the actual joy of eating and cooking is but a side dish to the accumulation of arcane knowledge about these subjects From the author of The United States of Arugula--and coauthor of The Film Snob’s Dictionary and The Rock Snob’s Dictionary--a delectable compendium of food facts, terminology, and famous names that gives ordinary folk the wherewithal to take down the Food Snobs--or join their zealous ranks. Open a menu and there they are, those confusing references to “grass-fed” beef, “farmstead” blue cheese, and “dry-farmed” fruits. It doesn’t help that your dinner companions have moved on to such heady topics as the future of the organic movement, or the seminal culinary contributions of Elizabeth Drew and Fernand Point. David Kamp, who demystified the worlds of rock and film for grateful readers, explains it all and more, in The Food Snobs Dictionary. Both entertaining and authentically informative, The Food Snob’ s Dictionary travels through the alphabet explaining the buzz-terms that fuel the food-obsessed, from “Affinage” to “Zest,” with stops along the way for “Cardoons,” “Fennel Pollen,” and “Sous-Vide,” all served up with a huge and welcome dollop of wit.

Download or read book Words to Eat By written by Ina Lipkowitz and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may be what you eat, but you're also what you speak, and English food words tell a remarkable story about the evolution of our language and culinary history, revealing a vital collision of cultures alive and well from the time Caesar first arrived on British shores to the present day. Words to Eat By explores the remarkable stories behind five of our most basic food words, words which reveal fascinating aspects of the evolution of the English language and our powerful associations with certain foods. Using sources that vary from Roman histories and early translations of the Bible to Julia Child's recipes and Frank Bruni's restaurant reviews, Ina Lipkowitz shows how saturated with French and Italian names the English culinary vocabulary is, "from a la carte to zabaglione." But the words for our most basic foodstuffs -- bread, meat, milk, leek, and apple -- are still rooted in Old English and Words to Eat By reveals how exceptional these words and our associations with the foods are. As Lipkowitz says, "the resulting stories will make readers reconsider their appetites, the foods they eat, and the words they use to describe what they want for dinner, whether that dinner is cooked at home or ordered from the pages of a menu." Contagious with information, this remarkable book pulls profound insights out of simple phenomena, offering an analysis of our culinary and linguistic heritage that is as accessible as it is enlightening.
