For everybody excited about exploring the cuisine and food and wine
culture of France, this book is the perfect primer. It introduces
the key regions of France and the specialities of each, covering
their history and significance to the local people. It explains the
dishes that you will find on the regional menus, how to order and
eat them, and other essential words and phrases for navigating the
French food scene. The extensive section on etiquette covers all
the dos and don'ts of local customs so you need never feel awkward
or uncertain. From how to toast fellow diners correctly (tip:
always look them in the eye), to never biting into your piece of
bread directly (tip: break bread into pieces before eating it and
it's fine to mop up food from your plate with it). Written by
