Expo Dictionary, a new digital
resource and smartphone app with nine languages dedicated
entirely to food terms, culinary techniques, and food handling,
was announced Tuesday by publishing house Edizioni Plan.
The dictionary/app is online at www.expodictionary.com and
includes Arab, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian,
Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
It's also available in a three-language print version with
English, Chinese, and Italian.
Edizioni Plan is the publishing house of Eli-La Spiga
Edizioni, specialized in food, wine, and nutrition publishing.
"We wanted to create a tool that could respond to the
demands of a large and diverse audience without specific
culinary training, such as Expo visitors or viewers of televised
cooking shows," said Michele Casali, CEO of Eli-La Spiga
Edizioni.
The app was developed in collaboration with the University
of Milan's Department of Linguistic and Cultural Mediation
Sciences and with Alma, the international school of Italian
cuisine directed by Milan-based chef Gualtiero Marchesi.
The dictionary provides translations as well as exact
pronunciation for food terms along with definitions and further
notes to clarify meaning, and includes thousands of
illustrations and images that help the user to learn about food
products and preparation techniques.
