Does anyone have a good source for culinary Spanish? I have a relative who is fluent in ordinary Spanish and can read classic Spanish literature, but who hasn't ever dealt with restaurant menus etc. because she was in dorms or with a family. It's not just the names of food items, but typical dishes/preparation; like knowing that something Dijon means with mustard, Florentine means spinach etc. She will be visiting Argentina and Chile.

I don't know any Spanish, but Google Language gives me the following:
