Glossary

This is a selection of the common culinary terms used on this site. Some of them are Asturian, and some of those words are specific to particular areas of Asturia. Particularly in the case of Asturian cider culture, there are many terms that can be impenetrable to the unwary outsider.

I have also included more general terms that used here in precise ways, or terms that might simply be unfamiliar outside of a professional cooking setting.
