French Food Decoder

Agorite

The perfect companion for any English speaker visiting or living in France; the FRENCH FOOD DECODER is the most comprehensive app of its kind. Several years in the making; it includes over 1;260 articles covering the gamut of one of the world’s greatest cuisines. With its superb ‘search’ engine the app provides instant translations of French food names; terms; and cooking techniques into English. Even if you’ve had years of French; it will help you read those excruciatingly complex menus; shop for food or try out a French recipe at home. If you’ve never studied French; it will save your bacon. But the FRENCH FOOD DECODER is far more than a mere dictionary. In-depth articles feature anecdotes and background information that put France’s culinary culture at your fingertips. The app is organised by French regions as well as headings (Pastries; Fish and Seafood; Charcuterie; Sauces etc) so you know what to look for (and what to avoid!) as you travel around France. A useful map that works offline locates the home of hundreds of local specialities. * Discover the different kinds of restaurants in France and how to order; plus a special section on food allergies; intolerances and vegetarians and vegans. * Special entries cover French cuts of beef; pork; chicken and duck; along with useful wine words; fish words and cheese terms * Learn about the Five Mother Sauces and their children; the names of everything in the kitchen; edible wild mushrooms; all about Cognac and French cheese terms — and which cheese is the smelliest (clue: its nickname is the ‘devil’s suppository’)!
