Behind the scenes at TODAY, our awesome segment producers are extra careful to prepare the anchors with how to properly pronounce everything from tricky guests names (Gyllenhaal, anyone?) to foods that require a full-on French accent.

Our anchors nail it pretty much every time, but since everyone can use a little extra help sometimes, we've created an A-Z guide on how to correctly say often mispronounced food words.
