Culinary Dictionary: Letter J
I enjoyed doing research for letter J. I was surprised a pastry wheel is also called a jagger, and liked the ingredients for the Johnny Cakes so much I had to look up a picture of them; they look somewhat like arepas without cheese. I will try them soon.
Jaggery: coarse unrefined sugar used in many cuisines especially in Asia.
Jagging wheel/jagger: pastry wheel.
Jardinière (à la): served with a variety of vegetables.
John Dory: delicate white fish also known as Saint Peter’s fish or Saint Pierre.
Johnny Cakes : New England cornmeal pancakes.
Julienne: cut vegetables or fruit into matchsticks.
Letters A, B, C, D, E , F, G, H , I , J, K, L , M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z.

I like the culinary alphabet, I have to admit that J would have stumped me. After julienne anyway.
