Pronunciations (cooking)?

[Liberty Belle]

I'm saving some recipes and am not sure how to pronounce the following:

Alla Checca
Bechamel
Aebelskiver
Arancini
Olivieh

I think I know how to pronounce most, but I'd like to be sure, so as not to embarrass myself.

Well, the only one I know for sure is bechamel...it's "Beh-shuh-mel".

Assuming Alla Checca is Italian (no idea of it is), "Ch" is pronounced with a hard "c" like CAT. So it MIGHT be "Al-uh Keh-Kuh".

Arancini should be "Ar-un-chee-nee".

Never heard the other two!

Im not sure if this is right but I googled it and

Alla Checca is pronounced kind of like this:

Alla Kay Ca

Just don't draw out the a in Kay but it's still a long A sound.

Aebleskiver is a-bla-ski-va

Thank you two! That certainly helps.

For abelskiver, the abel is like able and the skiver rhymes with liver.
