Bonjour mes amis! Goodness, another Friday, another week over, another edition of French food news. So, what’s going on in the French food media this week? Not a whole lot.

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Bonjour, mes amis! Welcome to another edition of French food news. Alors, what’s going on in the French food media this week?

Bonjour, mes amis! Welcome to another edition of French food news. Alors, what’s going on in the French food media this week? Le Figaroscope devotes their weekly round-up to Paris’s best mojitos.

Bonjour, mes amis, and welcome to another edition of French food news. Minnie the cat (photo above) is wondering, and I’m sure you are too… What’s going on in this week’s French food media?

I think everyone in Paris has summer fever. Le Figaroscope certainly does — they’ve devoted this week’s food news to al fresco dining — this coming hot on the heels of last week’s article enumerating the best spots for a pre-dinner cocktail (many of which featured outdoor terraces).
So, where do these garden restaurants hide? The Bois de […]

Bonjour, mes amis and happy Monday! So, what’s going in this last week’s French food news? Well, Le Figaroscope must be taking their editorial cues from my rice-addicted mother, because their round-up is devoted to “Le riz dans tous ses éclats” (Rice in all its glory). The winners include:

That’s right a pair of duckies (photo above), who quacked so close to my chair, it was as if they were professional duck models! Alas, by the time I unearthed the camera, they had already wandered to the lawn (they’re […]
