Title: French women don't get fat
Author: Mireille Guiliano
This book was written as the demand for knowing why "French women don't get fat" prompted the author to share her story: how she grew up in France, surrounded by family who cooked everything from scratch with ingredients purchased at the local weekly markets, "and not the supermarkets" , how she went to live in America and put on 10 kilos in one year.
Madame Guiliano shares with her readers the art of eating for enjoyment and drinking wine with food only; how eating desert is really tasty and enjoyable for the first mouthful only, and that is why the portions should be kept small.
This book might change your life and make you a happier person, after all, like one of her compatriots said "You are what you eat". In France, eating and drinking is tightly knit with culture and tradition, and it all starts in one's childhood, but it is never too late.
This is a great read and tres amusant...very amusing and delightful, with recipes and practical tips.
