Got some more for the food terminology section.

A Shallot is actually a member of the onion family. They look kind of like large cloves of garlic. They’re used to infuse savory type dishes with a mild onion flavor. They should be kept refrigerated for up to 1 week to maintain maximum flavor.

White chocolate, a favorite for many actually isn’t chocolate. It’s cocoabutter that’s been flavored with sugar and milk solids.

A Wok is a round-bottomed pan, usually made of rolled steel, that is used for virtually all Chinese cooking methods.
