Glossary

I watch food network and food websites a lot and at times I used to wonder what a particular ingredient is called in my Language(Telugu).  The very next minute I used to google it up and make a note of it in my diary. I know going through my recipes you might be having the same issue with some of the ingredients. Below I am making a list of some of them which might be helpful. I will keep the table updating whenever I find something new or whenever visitors of my site mail me or ping me about some ingredient.
