Here's a cooking dictionary, some of the basic directions for recipes.
Bake: Cook in the oven. Beat: Mix very fast with a spoon or an electric mixer. Blend: Mix two or more ingredients together until smooth. Boil: Cook a liquid until it gets so hot that it bubbles. Broil: Cook under heat, usually under the broiler in the oven. Chop: Cut in pieces with a sharp knife. Drain: Pour off liquid. Drizzle: Make something wet by sprinkling small drops over it. Fold: Gently turn one part of a mixture over the other. Grate: To rub food, like a block of cheese or a potato, up and down back and forth against a grater. Grease: Spread bottom and sides of pan with butter. Grill: Cook on a rack over coal. Mash: Soften and break apart with a fork. Melt: Heat a solid until it becomes a liquid. Mince: Chop into many pieces. Preheat: Turn oven on to the required temperature before it's time to bake. Roll out: Place on board and spread thin with rolling pin. Sprinkle: Scatter over food. Toss: Mix lightly with an upward motion. Whisk: Beat fast with a wire whisk to make light. |

 all of that is good to know because in a lot of recipe books they don't tell you what those words are so this is very helpful thanks.
