"A whimsical, side-splitting, erudite, and sometimes cheeky book." - The Globe and Mail
From everyday foods to exotic dishes, from the herbs and spices of medieval England to the cooking implements of the modern kitchen, Cupboard Love is a sumptuous feast that 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?
Originally published in 1996 and revised and expanded in 2004, and now available again for the first time in two decades in this new edition, Cupboard Love was one of three books nominated for a 1996 Julia Child Cookbook Award in the Food Reference/Technical Category (Calphalon Award), and was included in The Globe and Mail's list of "required reading" notable books for 1997.
Addictively readable, it takes us on a journey across cultures and history to arrive at the explanations behind some of our favorite culinary words and phrases, answering along the way those questions we've always had about food but were afraid to ask the cook.
