SYNOPSIS
If you think French food is complicated, decadent, and heavy, think again!
If you think learning and exploring another language is difficult or boring, think again!
And if you think cooking French food and learning French at the same time is impossible, teacher and home cook Elisabeth de Châtillon is here to prove you wrong. It might sound too good to be true, but THE HANDS ON FRENCH COOKBOOK is full of healthy, simple French recipes that you can make for friends and family while you learn not only the French language but also a little bit about French culture in a relaxed, fun, tasty way.
VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR QUOTATIONS
As an admitted Francophile, I enjoyed every single element of the book: the author’s French style, reading the text in French (and then checking the translation), the simple-to-prepare French recipes (miam miam!), the additional cultural tidbits about where ingredients and dishes come from, and the beautiful photographs and fun illustrations.
France is my happy place, so when I heard about a French cookbook, and I learned it’s a French cookbook that helps you learn French…
Well, yes, please.
As an educator, I immediately saw the value of using cooking as a venue to learn a language.
Overall assessment: The Hands On Cookbook is a fun way of learning French and trying out some classic French recipes.
There is a lot to love in this innovative French recipe book.
For anyone with an interest in cooking and eating French food, who is also looking for a practical and fun way to improve their French vocabulary, this book ticks a lot of boxes.
VERDICT: The most yummy book I have read this year. Cook and learn French at the same time!
The Hands on French Cookbook: Connect with French through Simple, Healthy Cooking is a fantastic little cookbook on so many levels. Firstly, as a language learning tool, it is a fun, easy way to learn new vocabulary and practice what you have learned.
As a cookbook, the organization is excellent.
And now the best part of the book, the food!
The Hands On French Cookbook: Connect with French through Simple, Healthy Cooking is probably the easiest reading French cookbook I have come across.
I was able to follow the directions and ingredients with no problem.
I am giving The Hands On French Cookbook: Connect with French through Simple, Healthy Cooking a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for those who want to find an easy and authentic French cookbook.
A perfect book for anyone who’d like to recreate the flavors of France in their own kitchen, while improving their language skills.

Another blogger also liked this, but while I want to learn how to make French cuisine, I’m not sure about learning French!

It would be just basics really. It can be fun to learn French for reading, to be able to read novels not translated into other languages

Well… I’ve lived in Israel for over 40 years, and while I can speak Hebrew fluently, I can’t read books in Hebrew because my dyslexia makes it difficult and painfully slow. So… I doubt I’d ever get to the level of French where I could read a whole book in the language.

I know Biblical Hebrew, so I can assure you learning French for reading is no comparison.
First it’s the same alphabet as English, more or less the same structure of sentences, and tons of cognates!! You may not know how to pronounce the French words, but you will know their meanings, because they are the same in English!
