About this product
Product Information
Nominated in 1997 for a Julia Child Award, Cupboard Love is back, bigger and better than ever. In this updated and expanded edition, Mark Morton lays out a sumptuous feast of more than a thousand culinary word-histories. From everyday foods to exotic dishes, from the herbs and spices of medieval England to the cooking implements of the modern kitchen, Cupboard Love explores the fascinating stories behind familiar and not-so-familiar gastronomic terms. Who knew that the word "pomegranate" is related to the word "grenade"? That "baguette" is a cousin of "bacteria"? That "soufflé" comes from the same root as "flatulence"? Who knew that "vermicelli" is Italian for "little worms", that "avocado" comes from an Aztec word meaning "testicle", or that "catillation" denotes the unseemly licking of plates?
