4.0 out of 5 stars
Couldn't have eaten without it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Marling Menu-Master for France (Marling menu masters series) (Paperback)
Don't be put off by the publish date on this book which seems a bit outdated. I just returned (6/2000) from France and found this book to be not only helpful but almost completely necessary. My French isn't bad, but this book even tells you what chicken "a la provencale" actually means. It doesn't just translate it as "chicken, prepared the way they do in Provence." I found it to be so reliable that I have just ordered the Italy Menu Master for my next trip. My only slight concern with it was the food is grouped only by "meat," "fish," etc. So if you don't know what type of food something on the menu is, it can be a little hard to find. But combining it with a pocket dictionary solved that problem.

A must-have for travelers to France.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Marling Menu-Master for France (Marling menu masters series) (Paperback)
This book (and the others in the series - Germany, Italy, Spain) can make the quite often mystifying process of ordering food in a foreign country understandable. The book - more of a booklet - is small; so, both you and it will travel well together. So, don't miss out on one of the most important experiences of a country - it's food! Remember in France, food is not an art, it's a religion! So before ordering the andouille, look it up - "sausage composed of strips of pig's small intestines." Umm, maybe something else. Bon appetit.

Indispensable Info in a User-Friendly Format,

This review is from: Marling Menu-Master for France (Marling menu masters series) (Paperback)
No matter how well (or how poorly) you may speak French, this little book is an indispensable addition to your travel kit. It can help you navigate the dizzying varieties of delicious sauces, the hundreds of preparation styles, the regional specialities, and keep you from ordering kidneys when you thought you were asking for veal cutlets...Helpful pages, too, on money, numbers, basic traveller's phrases. Plus it's small enough to be consulted with discretion at cafes or bistros...and don't forget how helpful it would be for ordering with confidence in your favorite French restaurant back home.
