Do you know the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? Bourbon and rye? Crumbles, cobblers, and crisps? Most people don't, even a number of home cooks—which is why they turn to Brette Warshaw. Settling the matter of jam or jelly, bread flour vs. all-purpose, this informative reference makes clear the differences between things that are often confused in the kitchen, covering such topics as waffles, cheese, apples, beers, coffee, chocolate, rice, sugar, and ice cream, to name but a few. "Concise, informative, and a pleasure to dip into, this is an endlessly entertaining way to brush up on one's food groups."—Publishers Weekly
