So make a French Living lunch part of your Summer time health regime and watch the calories melt away!
Welcome to French Living Diaries.....
Shortly after my book Come to the Table was published I was invited to write a column for the Nottingham Evening Post. They were articles designed to bring families back again around the table. I have posted some of these articles as a taster and introduction to the French Living experience. Not surprisingly most feature my two children, Nina (12) and Pierre (9) as they are a great source of foodie inspiration.
Some centre around our business adventures. For example, back in October 2006 our café expanded into the next door unit inspiring a couple of articles - Fresh Fast-Food and Café Food.
We're also currently going through a traumatic time with a house build project in Corsica. So watch this space for some unbelievable Corsican tales.....

French Women Don't Get fat
With Summer fast approaching, thoughts of beach wear, bikinis, skimpy shorts and how to achieve that perfect Summer figure can stop us thinking of restaurants. In fact, the usual solution is to stop eating altogether. I would like to remind everyone out there who has decided to ban restaurant dining, that "French Women don't get Fat" as written by Mireille Guiliano! And the simple reason is because the French will ALWAYS find time to eat. Lunch-time in a busy French city centre and the restaurants are heaving as office workers scramble for a seat to enjoy a freshly prepared plat du jour. Three meals a day, light, freshly prepared and nutritious, no snacking, WILL keep the weight stable. Unfortunately this does not mean a daily diet of frites but French Living offers lighter options such as our daily salades or fish. And don't forget that because all our dishes are freshly prepared in the kitchen (and not frozen, ready prepped, or shipped in from a central depot) our chefs can amend a dish within reason to make it lighter - for example replace frites with steamed potatoes.

We moved to the South West of France three years ago and the thought of a bikini strikes terror into my soul! My husband is a chef (we are both English) and so regular eating is a household delight! However, I think it is my english height that causes the roundness to my figure! I was pleased to find that there were far more "plumpcious" beauties on the beaches of Spain however on my last trip so maybe next summer will be spent there!! You might like to have a read of my husbands french food blog. Just on the off chance... you can find it at www.northbysudouest.blogspot.com
