Hands on French
📚📚📚
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.
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.
It’s an awesome learning tool because of the healthy recipes and the necessary action that will cause the reader to remember what word means what action, especially in something so necessary as cooking and food.

In Another Life,
by Julie Christine Johnson
Historical Fiction/Contemporary Women’s Fiction/
Fantasy/Romance
Release date:
February 2016, by Sourcebooks
370 pages
Review copy available in print for US residents
Historian Lia Carrer has finally returned to southern France, determined to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. But instead of finding solace in the region’s quiet hills and medieval ruins, she falls in love with Raoul, a man whose very existence challenges everything she knows about life–and about her husband’s death.
As Raoul reveals the story of his past to Lia, she becomes entangled in the echoes of an ancient murder, resulting in a haunting and suspenseful journey that reminds Lia that the dead may not be as far from us as we think.
Steeped in the rich history and romantic landscape of the Languedoc region, In Another Life is a story of love that conquers time and the lost loves that haunt us all.
You can purchase the book on Bookshop | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Indiebound
