This book is for English speakers who have recently moved to France. It will help you to find your feet. To begin with, this book gives you the name for cooking ingredients in France and where to buy them. It answers questions such as ‘what is baking powder called here?’, and ‘where can you buy double cream?’ and includes an explanation of some weights and measures for those of us who live in France but rely ever more heavily on the internet for recipe inspiration. The second part of the book deals with what you might grow in your garden ‘potager’, and what to do with any produce so that you will have a collection of delicious recipes, designed to deal with any glut. The third part has diverse topics including gardening, DIY, buying firewood, the healthcare system and tips regarding paperwork in general. There are also sections on coping with the French language, the French postal system and organisations where you can get help; how to type accented letters on a PC QWERTY keyboard, useful books and useful apps and some tips on fitting in socially. In the process of reading this book, you will also pick up quite a bit of French vocabulary.
