How to use it

Search a dish or ingredient and read its usual meaning. Use the question cards to ask about preparation and ingredients before ordering.

Before you use the result

A dish name does not establish an ingredient list. Sauces, stock and garnishes vary. For an allergy, speak directly to the restaurant and use your own safety plan.

To keep a word for later, use the text reader and save it to your desk. You can export your study data from Settings & data.
