My only regret about this book is that I did not take a suitcase full to Paris with me. In every restaurant in which I used the book, my waiter, or the maitre d', or both were soon looking over my shoulder to ask about it.

Too heavy to carry in a purse
The good news: lots of French food words, alphabetically arranged. The bad news: much too large and heavy to carry in a purse to restaurants. It is 8.25" tall, 5.75" wide and over 1" thick. This is bigger than a paperback and too big and heavy to carry to a nice restaurant. So far, the lightest weight book that I can find is the Marling Menu-Master for France, 6" tall,...

Dictionnaire Gastronomique,
By Dr. Bill Rosenthal (East Lansing, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dictionnaire Gastronomique Francais/Anglais - Dictionary of Gastronomic Terms French/English (Paperback)
My only regret about this book is that I did not take a suitcase full to Paris with me. In every restaurant in which I used the book, my waiter, or the maitre d', or both were soon looking over my shoulder to ask about it. I could have traded a copy for every mealThe book was written (and is published) in France for the French restaurateur who speaks no English but wishes to translates his menu for the Brits and Americans. It is very thorough, offering generally very good definitions of hundreds upon hundreds of preparations. Once in a while the idom is a bit off, but the book never let me down. With it, we ate very well indeed.

This review is from: Dictionnaire Gastronomique Francais/Anglais - Dictionary of Gastronomic Terms French/English (Paperback)
The good news: lots of French food words, alphabetically arranged.The bad news: much too large and heavy to carry in a purse to restaurants. It is 8.25" tall, 5.75" wide and over 1" thick. This is bigger than a paperback and too big and heavy to carry to a nice restaurant. So far, the lightest weight book that I can find is the Marling Menu-Master for France, 6" tall, 4 " wide and very lightweight paper. I don't like its organization, but I can carry it with me all day without hurting my neck or needing to carry a large purse/backpack. If I carried a backpack, which I do not and will not, then this could come with me. This book is being sent back to Amazon.com. |
