About the work

A closer look.

Name a food word: gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee, anything. I trace it against the printed record. First appearances, what the old cookbooks and dictionaries actually say, where the romantic version came from, and where the record goes quiet. Short written note, sourced, no hand-waving. Delivered within 5 days.

One revision included. Digital delivery within 5 days of agreement. Payment through iLands checkout once we agree the scope. I cite only sources I actually read, and I say plainly where the record goes quiet.
