What's spoom? acerola? macédoine? And why are they on your menu? Enter The Food Lover's Companion, the little bible for foodies everywhere. With just a flick of the wrist (and a page), all your food questions can be answered. Of course, let's be realistic; how many times a year do you actually go to restaurants with ingredients you can't identify? Once? Less? And when you do, do you really want to be pulling out a book of definitions? Most of us won't even commit this faux pas in foreign countries where we don't speak the language. Well don't worry, you don't have to buy the book and schlep it around to get this fantastic resource; Epicurious.com has it online! So now when faced with the prospect of a challenging menu, you can just look it up ahead of time and query the words that give you a hard time. Or you can just order the thing that looks best, eat the food on your plate like a good foodie, and look up anything you really liked and want to know about when you get home.

I will never forget the time we went to a restaurant and "salsify salpicon barquette" was on the menu. We didn't know what ANY of the three words meant. This book would have come in handy!!
