Culinary Terms

Akopọ

Open a recipe card or a restaurant menu and you meet a private language: blanch, saute, julienne, table d'hote, mise en place. To an apprentice these words look like a foreign code, and a cook who guesses at them ruins good food. Learn the terms and the same card suddenly reads like clear, step by step instructions.

This lesson groups the everyday kitchen vocabulary into five families, preparation, cutting, mixing and finishing, cooking techniques, and menu and service French, and teaches each one with a plain meaning and a Nigerian example. By the end you will be able to read a recipe line or a menu entry and say exactly what the cook must do.

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

A new apprentice reports for her first day at a busy restaurant in Ikeja. The head cook hands her a recipe card that reads: mise en place, blanch the ugu, saute the onions, then reduce the sauce and garnish. She can read every letter and understand none of it, so she stands frozen while the orders pile up. The problem is not her cooking, it is her vocabulary. Every trade has its own words, and catering borrows most of its own from French because the modern professional kitchen was organised in France. A cook who knows these culinary terms reads a recipe the way you read this sentence: instantly, and without guessing.
