List of 85+ Idioms, Phrases, Terms for Food-Writing

by - September 12, 2016

My supervisor had asked me to write a small piece on Healthy Food Places in India. I wrote a simple article, and made sure I did not use the Oxford Comma, which I'm obsessed about. I also used better vocab, but then eventually, my supervisor explained how I needed to avoid words like delicious, great, etc. That's when I decided to go through all the food articles on Vogue.in and find out terms, idioms, or in general, anything that will help me improve my food-writing. If ever I come across some more terms later, I'll make a new list and post here (so don't worry).
