About the book

Using sources that range from Roman histories to Julia Child's recipes, Ina Lipkowitz shows how saturated with French and Italian names the English culinary vocabulary is. But the words for our most basic foodstuffs--bread, milk, leek, meat, and apple--are still rooted in Old English.
