Quiz in the Kitchen

Ganache. Ceviche. Panna cotta.

If you watch cooking shows such as Bravo's "Top Chef" and "Top Chef Masters," you've probably heard these and other 50-cent food words tossed around like croutons in a summer salad. But--hands off the keyboard!--do you know what they mean without looking them up?

Liar.

Oh, you might know a few on this list. But unless you work in a restaurant, you'll probably be stumped by the rest.

See how many of these food words you can correctly match with their definitions.

Hey James, you've got to try a lot harder to stump High Heels in the Kitchen! I got 24 out of 25 correct (I guess I know less about raw meat than I thought I did...)

Beat that!

  2. Hehe. Yeah, that's one I went back to about three times. May have to go out for tostones and raw steak sometime soon...

  3. that would rather represent two extremes of the food spectrum: deep fried fruit and raw meat. now my lunch seems especially paltry when faced with such an incredible combo possibility.

  5. 25/25, but I only figured out one by process of elimination.
