One of the hardest fields of translation is certainly the culinary field. Not only because of the specificity of certain ingredients but also because it is sometimes hard to translate the methods, the tools involved etc.

This month we talk about cooking methods. There is so many ways to cook food, and so many methods you can use it may be confusing to translate them all.

This week’s cooking method is “poach”. In Portuguese the word “poach” is translated as “escalfar”. Let’s look at the dictionaries:
