THE COOKTIONARY
ABOUT THE BOOKS
The first book in the series
THE COOKTIONARY a - Z
(18,00€ / £12.00)
is a comprehensive French-English culinary dictionary for anyone who cooks in France—in a permanent or holiday home, a chambre d'hôte or a restaurant.
It contains an English translation of over 6000 French gastronomic,
culinary & household words—words used in recipes, cookery magazines &
food advertising, on packaging, household equipment & restaurant menus.
Many French culinary words and terms cannot be found in dictionaries
or travel-food books. Here, you will find almost every word you
might ever need in the kitchen—in many cases, also giving a
literal translation, an alternative word and an extended explanation.
An invaluable piece of equipment in every Anglo-French kitchen !
THE COOKTIONARY COMPANION
(21,00€ / £13.99)
The second book in the series delves deeper into the Anglo-French
store cupboard and sorts its contents into manageable sections.
Headings include Breads, Charcuterie, Cheeses, Fish, Garnishes, Herbs,
Meat cuts, Mushrooms, Sauces, Seafood, Spices, Wines & many others.
There is also a useful English-French section.
Michael Logan’s illustrations bring to life the charms of cooking
paraphernalia and the delights of a world beyond the kitchen.
THE COOKTIONARY FOR KIDS
(12,00€ / £8.00)
is specially designed to help youngsters choose meals for themselves
when in France. Full of food words (translated both ways and with
phonetic pronunciations), it will enable them to translate the menu
into English and find their favourite food in French.
Games to play between meals, on those long journeys across France,
will pass the time and help them learn lots of everyday French words.
A list of weirdly-named foods will amuse all the family.
Rebecca Keeble’s illustrations add both charm and fun to this
most enjoyable of all out-of-school French dictionaries.
A splendid Christmas or birthday present !
