Sportier ,

Great app

Very user friendly, lots of items. Now all I have to do is actually go to France. Haha
Would be better if it had some recipes behind those yummy looking names... :)

Version much improved

The previous negative reviews must have been for an older version. I found this on AppGratis, and have been playing with it all morning, and noticed none of the impaired functions described in the review.

If you're looking for an app that explains French cooking techniques, this isn't it. However, if like me, you are a bit of an adventurous eater, this will help you get a handle on what that dish you just ordered is supposed to be, instead of assuming the kitchen gets it right. If I had something like this years ago, I probably wouldn't have waited so long to try veal caponata again.

good Idea - needs more content

This is a very necessary app. There are many phrases - words - idioms - one finds on French menus that are not clear, at least to the occasional Francophile. And this app is a good start. But there are still a lot of words that are not in this dictionary, and it would be of more value if the authors continue to work on the content and expand it. It would also provide them a reason to go to France and pay for the trip and the meals.
