Why do so many of us love France and everything French? And why is Paris one of the worlds favourite destinations? Part of that charm is French food. And thats because the French are perfectionists about their ingredients and preparation. This beautifully illustrated book shows you how to eat French-style (and remember, the French dont get fat!) and stock a French-style larder with specialist ingredients like soft cheeses and truffles. Theres also a
mini-history of the development of French cuisine culture as well as a glossary of French menu favourites and translations. Not a cookbook, but a little introduction to French cuisine and the perfect gift.
