Why A Baking Glossary?

A Baking Glossary is a necessity when cooking from the net. When I started writing up my recipes for Inspired By Chocolate And Cakes it occurred to me that you might have the same problems as I do when following recipes written in another part of the world.

Sometimes the baking terms used are not the same as we use at home. Even simple ingredients like icing sugar which is the term I would use but maybe you know it as confectioners sugar or even powdered sugar!

So this glossary is not about defining ingredients and what they do but to group common terms. I hope it makes your chocolate adventure smoother.

If you have any questions concerning metric to imperial conversions you should find the answer at my Baking Conversions page.

If you need help with understanding the different types of chocolate then you will find clear simple definitions on this page.

I hope this Baking Glossary has been of use to you and answered any questions you may of had. My aim is to make my site as user friendly as possible and to keep you Inspired By Chocolate And Cakes!
