I have just stumbled across the Cook's Thesaurus and thought I would share.It describes itself as "a cooking encyclopedia that covers thousands of ingredients and kitchen tools. Entries include pictures, descriptions, synonyms, pronunciations, and suggested substitutions. " And it actually is.
I am presently researching recipes from the Szechuan region of China and have found this invaluable for looking at what new ingredients are, getting some information about them - and finding out what I can substitute.
Very handy indeed :-)

I would like a copy of that.
It's a website Welshcake so click away :-) I have spent an hour or so with it and haven't even touched the proverbial sides :-)
I will check it out! Thanks for the link.
Sounds waaay to deep for us mere mortals struggling with "The Commonsence Cookbook" - lol
No Robert, not at all - it explains weird things like what arugala is (rocket) or canteloupe (rockmelon) as well as making lots of complex things very easy. It is worth a look - promise :-)
