Capers-These are the unopened flowers of the caper bush and therefore come in different colors, each with it's own unique flavor. Capers add a little zing to white sauces, salads, creamed dishes, appetizers, and meats. They are usually sold pickled in vinegar and brine, but can be bought dried.
Vegetarian - A person who does not eat meat or poultry and sometimes fish but may eat cheese, milk and eggs in their diet.
A La Carte - French meaning - "According to the menu"; off the card.
Braise - To cook slowly in a small amount of liquid in a covered pot. Foods are usually browned prior to braising to add flavor. Braising can be done on top of the stove or in an oven, depending on the recipe.
Pad Thai - A dish from Thailand that is made with rice noodles, tofu, eggs, chiles, garlic, bean sprouts, fish sauce, and peanuts.
Pinch - Just that--the tiny amount of seasoning that can be held between your thumb and forefinger; an immeasurably small amount.
Arrowroot - while neither herb or spice, arrowroot is often sold in the same area of the grocery. It is a bland starch which acts as a thickening agent in foods and is used in place of flour or cornstarch. Using 1-1/2 tsp to replace 1 Tbsp of flour, this is the thickener of choice for delicate sauces and puddings that contain eggs.
