"Dictionaries are like watches, the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true" - Samuel Johnson

Well, hopefully things have gotten somewhat better since Johnson's day. Here are some very useful glossaries and dictionaries for culinarians.

 
Epicurious
http://www.epicurious.com/
At this page just scroll down and select "Dictionary". The definitions are thorough and often link to food factoids and recipes.
 
 
Pearl's Pantry Glossary
http://foodstuff.com/cgi-bin/glossary.cfm?ALPHA=A
A delightfully easy site to use and find more than just definitions.
