The idiosyncrasies of language can tell us a lot about a culture. In this delightful book, Clotilde Dusoulier, creator of the award-winning food blog Chocolate & Zucchini, delves into the history and meaning of fifty of the French language's most popular food-related expressions. Accompanied by beautiful watercolor illustrations by artist Melina Josserand, Edible French explores whimsical turns of phrase such as: \"Tomber dans les pommes\" (falling into the apples) = fainting \"Se faire rouler dans la farine\" (being rolled in flour) = being fooled \"Avoir un coeur d'artichaut \"(having the heart of an artichoke) = falling in love easily A treat of a read for Francophiles and food lovers alike, \"Edible French\"is the tastiest way to explore French culture--one that will leave you in high spirits--or, as the French say, vous donnera la peche (give you the peach).
