What is a recipe lover called? (e.i) a book lover is called a bibliophile.?!


Question: Chef, gastronome, or reciperophile.

Biblio is the Latin root for book, and recipero is the Latin root for recipe!

The word recipe comes from the Latin verb "recipio -cipere -cepi -ceptum," which means "to retain," as well as "to accept hospitably." Since recipes are a way to retain (or hospitably accept) information on a cooking process, this is the verb which led to the term "recipe" to mean a written cooking process. :)

So, the scientific term for recipe lover is reciperophile!

But apparently a few folks also say "recipephile" online these days. :)
