French culinary guide and dictionary, The A-Z of French Food

Readers' Comments

2011/05/18, Alice WL, Michigan The first thing to pack whenever heading out for France. Even if you understand French, culinary usage can be different than you expect.

2011/05/11, B. Hoffman, San Francisco If you feel completely mystified when taking a quick gander at a French menu, I would recommend getting The A-Z of French Food. It's invaluable for figuring out what is on the menu.

2011/05/05, Cheryl Eastwood, Texas The A-Z of French Food is invaluable in deciphering menus and helping you order what you want to eat... no surprises. The only thing better would be fluent in French!

2011/04/07, C. Kanter, Villanova, USA I just borrowed this book in Paris for a week and want to own a copy. It's outstanding!

2011/03/26, M. Morris, Thrybergh Rotherham, England Found it in a French restaurant. Have my own copy which is invaluable when eating in France. Now buying a copy for a Christmas gift for my son.

2011/02/07, Michael Saw A must for dining in a French restaurant. Encountered this book in Martinique, provided by the restaurateur; found it invaluable in translating the menu, both nature of food and methods of preparation. Conveniently carried into a restaurant -- a fascinating read -- wanted to steal it, but honesty prevailed.

2011/01/29, Elizabeth Hein (Charlotte, NC USA) I bought this pocket guide 12 years ago direct from the publisher and have used it extensively in my travels in France (6 trips and while working there for 2 months). It has never failed! There are numerous things which you won't find in your pocket LaroUsse - you would need the whole 20 pound Grand Larousse to get this level of cuilinary info. I'm not just talking about the difference between riz (rice), veau (veal) and riz de veau (sweetbreads) - there is so much more in this little book. You get history and relevant quotes as well.

2011/01/07, Alice O'Connor This small, very portable and completely comprehensive book makes eating out and buying food in France much clearer, and also provides an interesting foodie education.

2011/01/03, Lynda S, NY This small pocket sized book is the best dining aid around.

2010/12/28, Victoria P., San Francisco This is the first thing I pack whenever heading out for France.

2010/12/21, Juliet D, UK Well done with the publication ...we love it!

2010/12/05, Juliet, Houston This dictionary is remarkably useful in restaurants in France. On a number of occasions, while we were in France, our waiters and captains commented that they owned a copy and found it essential to communicating with their English-speaking diners.

2010/11/29, E.M. ASHTON I HAVE YOUR FRENCH FOOD VERSION WHICH IS WONDERFUL AND IT HELPS A LOT IN MY TRAVELS. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF YOU PUBLISH A SIMILAR GLOSSARY BUT FOR ITALIAN FOOD??

2010/11/15, David, Hub-uk Great for anyone travelling to France or taking a holiday there !

2010/11/04, John Lee, Swanage If your schoolboy French is no use in French restaurants, help is on hand with this neat little pocket book.
