The Wordsworth Dictionary of Culinary &amp; Menu Terms contains over 12,000 entries and should prove useful to budding chefs and gourmands, fascinating to browsers and crossword enthusiasts, and a handy companion for hungry travellers or those wishing to avoid the potential pitfalls of self-catering and ordering meals in restaurants in foreign lands. In short, this book is essential reading for those who want to know the difference between chiorro, chiozzo, choko and chorizo, or who cannot tell a kaboucha from a kabanosi. Rodney Dale has assembled and arranged a rich diet of terms used for ingredients and recipes which are encountered in cuisine world-wide. This pabular vocabulary will be eagerly embraced by all those interested in and engaged in food and its preparation from whatever culture and tradition they may come.

Uncle Joe's ashes baked in a cake (Delicious!); Granny's corpse stolen along with the family car; sewers alive with alligators... all these alleged occurrences - and many, many others - are the stuff of urban legend; the extraordinary things that you're told happen to that elusive 'friend of a friend' (foaf); someone whom you can never pin down, however hard you try.  Rodney Dale started collecting Urban Legends half a century ago - long before they were identified as such. This rich collection, with its introduction to the sorts of tales we tell, will enthral and amuse both casual browsers and students of contemporary lore.

Few Victorian writers are as well remembered as Charles Dickens (1812-70). And many of his characters have been widely known since they first saw the light of day in books such as The Pickwick Papers, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.    The Wordsworth Dickens Dictionary gives a comprehensive account of Dickens's writings and characters, and presents a chronology of his life and times. As well as providing a mine of information for students of literature, it will be found invaluable by addicts of the quiz and the crossword, as well as being an interesting browse in its own right.
