Language Notes
Text: English
From Booklist
Sinclair has compiled a source, originally published in Great Britain, with more than 24,000 food-related words that he believes are used in the English-speaking world, whatever their country of origin. The words defined include ingredients, implements, cooking processes, classic dishes, and words related to the medical, technological, and nutritional aspects of food. The style of writing has a definite British flavor--there is a see reference from potato chips to chips, English spelling is used, and the few recipes that are included use weight for the measure. There are also more than 1,500 entries for E numbers, which are numbers for food additives legal in the European Union.
The international aspect of the book consists of definitions of terms from Argentina, the Balkans, Egypt, Iceland, Malta, Sri Lanka, West Africa, etc. Each is designated with an abbreviation for the country. Although the definitions are usually no more than three sentences, they are accurate and descriptive--for example, lutefisk (Norway), dried cod soaked in caustic soda, resoaked in water, and boiled, is described as an "acquired taste."
Webster's New World Dictionary of Culinary Arts [RBB Ag 97] is a better choice for U.S. collections if only one food dictionary is needed. This new dictionary, Webster's, Cook's Dictionary and Culinary Reference (Contemporary, 1996), and the popular Food Lover's Companion (2d ed., Barron's, 1995) should define 98 percent of food-related terms. (Food Lover's Companion is now online through Epicurious Food--http://food.epicurious.com.
