Edible French: Tasty Expressions and Cultural Bites by Clotilde Dusoulier
4.0
I expected to hear some common French phrases I’ve heard over the years but I got some really unknown ones. I think I’ve heard maybe three of all these. The French language is so beautiful you can say the nastiest thing and make it sound like a love poem. Knowing these little phrases should be fun. “Etre tout sucre tout miel” = being all sugar and honey. Which basically means somebody who is being all fake, overly nice, and sweet when they don’t really feel that way. One of the weirdest to me was “ Pedelar dans la choucroute”= Peddling in Sauerkraut - LOL to means being in over one’s head.
I found myself really enjoying these little phrases after I got a bit into the book. There is the brief description and a fun little way to use it in conversation at the bottom. I can see my snarky self using many of these in the future. I love commenting something that really only hits home with me.
There are even recipes included that tie in with some of the phrases. Bonus ! beautiful water colors and color slashes make the page bright and pleasant to look at. After you finish the book there is a little quiz you can take to see what you remember.
I plan on buying a copy of this for my son who travels to France and is a major foodie. It is a perfect gift for the French student, traveler, or food enthusiast.
