A la Cuisine!

The expression: "Il faut vivre pour manger et non pas manger pour vivre." (One must live to eat and not eat to live) expresses the role of cuisine in French culture. Socrates originally meant it to be a rebuke: Molière used it ironically and the French later put it backwards to remind all who do not revere meal time sufficiently. Today, we enter the kitchen and stay for a cozy moment of food, conversation and even a recipe.  French Please gives you expressions you can use every day to add FRENCH to your day, easily, fuss-free and in joy! If you know you will not take the plunge alone, but this lifestyle of the two of you, hanging out and speaking together in French is what you  desire, let us make it easy, fun and immediate for you with our French at Home: a Conversation or French at Home: a Debut offerings. Start now, today, and fill your day with the French you've  always dreamed you would speak again...or for the first time. French from today: Que mange-t-on?/What are we eating? Nous avons au menu une fricassée de tomates et oignons, servie pour accompagner un poulet rôti.
