French Menu Reader by Maggie Plunkett - book review by Day-tripper.net

I always carry this book. It seems that no matter how often you eat in a French restaurant the menu can often present some challenges or surprises.

A very comprehensive little book, and a good read even when not in a restaurant, it's main section concerns French to English translations, with a smaller section for English to French (ever tried asking for scrambled eggs for example?).

Listed at the back is a section on cheeses.

Sadly not as widely available as it should be (it is really useful), it is another of those essential books we are happy to recommend.

Nice and compact its fits easily into a pocket or small handbag. 90 pages.
