French food web sites

Actually, leave out ALL the vegetables that are mentioned in that recipe, just cook it with liver, soy sauce, etc., and you end up with something very similar to something that a friend of mine from Shanghai cooks.

But the French sites are indeed better.

It was the beansprouts that put it over the top for me. I don't think they've caught on yet to the fact that you can't just dump a random assortment of vaguely asian-looking veg and a hunk of meat in a pan, pour some soy sauce over it and call it Chinese. God knows I love my Germans, but they make midwestern Chinese restaurants look good, which is impressive considering we gave the world crab rangoon.

Anyway, enough hijacking of the thread, sorry!

MIAM is of course excellent and you get free French lessons as well. I'm planning on translating my friend chef Sergio's recipes into English for the site. He has some wonderful photo turtorials taken at his restaurant.

blog appétit a peak into what French bloggers are making at home.

You will see a diverse array of dishes. If the French have an aversion to something I don't see it in home cooking or in our own forums.

Merci, Ptipois!

Je viens de m'enregistrer sur MIAM -- c'est bien fait. Alors, il faut pratiquer le francais, comme il fait presqu'un an depuis que je le parle. Donc, je suis un peu rusty. :wink:

Mais c'est embetant qu'on ne peu pas mettre les accents sur le web. Grr...

Amities,

Jennifer

Mais si! Il faut frapper 'Alt' + un nombre comme ça:

é = Alt + 130

è = Alt + 138

ç = Alt + 135

à = Alt + 133

ô = Alt + 147

Actually, I just set my language to French French. But on eGullet we're not supposed to use accents because of the problem with searchability.

Well now that just makes me all kinds of happy. Merci infiniment, John! Now if I could just click "Alt" to check my grammar. ;)

You can select the English International keyboard in Windows 2k or XP (probably earlier versions, too) and type all the accents you want relatively easily. You can get instructions and a layout you can print out at Int'l Keyboard. The printout isn't great. Somewhere on MS's website they have all the keyboards available with Windows in usable color displays. I have a printout right below my screen. Unfortunately, I can't find the MS web page where I got it.

I can manage the e's and a's with few problems, as well as the sedillas, but it's the little chapons that don't wish to cooperate. :smile:

However, I've now gotten lots of helpful hints from others here, so thank you! I feel like such a Neanderthal writing in French without the accents.

Edited for egregious spelling error.

Jennifer<--- normuly a gud speler
