Cupboard Love: A Dictionary of Culinary Curiosities by Mark Morton is truly a distinctive read. This delightful book serves up a feast of fascinating stories behind both familiar and obscure gastronomic terms.
I was especially intrigued by the history of the word cook. The occupational title actually originated from the Latin verb coquere, meaning “to cook.” From coquere came the Latin noun cocus, which eventually evolved, by the eleventh century, into the English noun cook. The book also delves into the origins of words such as cookie, course, liquor, martini, and many more.
Morton takes readers on a journey across cultures and centuries to uncover the roots of some of our most beloved culinary words and phrases. Along the way, he answers those quirky food-related questions we’ve all wondered about but never quite asked.
Overall, this book is both insightful and engaging, packed with rich historical detail. I thoroughly enjoyed discovering the hidden stories behind culinary language. Morton has done a fantastic job in this book.
