When you’re skimming a restaurant menu, which are the first items that catch your eye? Is it the braised pork loin with caramelized onion or the fresh pan-seared tuna? For dessert, do you fixate on the tarte tatin or the fruit confit?
Are you drawn to or repelled by the one that’s labeled decadent? You can keep the answer to yourself, but it’s a sign of the times that so many of us know what we’re all talking about. Culinary terminology has moved far beyond fried, baked, and grilled.
