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 !
