Cupboard Love: A Dictionary of Culinary Curiosities is back! The first edition of this essential food reference work was so good, it was nominated for a Julia Child Award. The second edition goes further, exploring the origins and histories of even more food words and cooking terms -- now more than a thousand terms, from "apple" to "zabaglione," from "aspic to zwieback."
