An Australian discovers that in France, food isn't just food-it's a national identity, a family tradition, and occasionally a battlefield.
After a decade of living and working across France-from chic city bistros to the wild French Alps-author Marie A. Connolly is still trying to decode the culinary rules.
Through 40 hilarious and heartfelt short stories, Marie takes you inside the real France, far away from the tourist traps and curated best baguette lists. From cheap and cheerful village picnics in the Savoie region to rule-bound dinner parties, these are the true personal observations of an expat who loves French food, even when it completely confuses her.
Inside this travel memoir, you'll discover:
- The Radish Incident: The exact moment Marie realized the French relationship with butter is a deadly serious affair.
- Culinary Criminals: Why mixing orange juice with champagne will get you raised eyebrows from a French man.
- Everyday Magic: True tales from Paris, Lyon, and Annecy-and why saucisson seems to follow her absolutely everywhere.
Authentic Living: The anecdotes are the author's own personal experiences. She's not saying ALL French people eat like this, or do this, or do that. The stories are fun, playful observations, and written by someone who loves and respects France.
A quick heads-up from the author:
A lot of the stories involve animal products (like foie gras). Also, saucisson seems to be the main character of the book but that was not intentional.
