Description
This is a unique content-based
book covering French culture through the highly motivational material of French
cuisine. Organized like a French menu, each chapter includes prose essays,
poetry, grammar points, a degustation
exercise and a recipe for students who might want to try their hand at food
preparation.
The book provides some structure for the
instructor to use Peter Mayle’s (A Year
in Provence) Adventure dans la
France
Gourmande. Discussion questions for his book are included in the Appendix.
