Every craft has its own language and so does cooking. Recipes can be full of words that you don’t hear in everyday conversation. Here at Simply Recipes we try to use plain language as much as possible but we can’t help but occasionally slip into recipe language.

Whether you're new to cooking and it's all a mystery or you've been cooking for years and have recently come across an unfamiliar cooking term look it up below and add it to your personal stockpile of cooking terms! We'll also keep adding definitions as we think of them.
