How the Cookie Crumbles

What’s the difference between… A sausage and a frankfurter A Manhattan, a margarita and a martini Jam and jelly Ice cream and gelato A cupcake and a muffin A cook and a chef Nigel and Nigella A bun and a roll and a bap and a cob Confused as to whether you should use baking soda or baking powder in your cake? Can you tell a King Edward from a Duke of York? Or pick a Parmesan from a pecorino? In these 30 rhymes, Tara imparts years of cooking knowledge from the world-famous Ottolenghi test kitchen to solve all your culinary conundrums in a way that is accessible, memorable, witty and – most of all – fun. The rhymes can be gobbled up in one sitting or carefully chewed in bitesize portions. Playful riffs on etymology, Anglo-American cultural differences lost in translation, and the subtle differences between products and ingredients feature throughout, teaching us about where our food came from, and why we call it that, and ultimately celebrating how food bring us together.
