About French Fried

If you liked "French Women Don't Get Fat", you'll love French Fried, Harriet Welty Rochefort's tale of how she learned the French secret for staying slim while enjoying the thinking about, shopping for, preparation of, and savoring of sitdown meals (no all day stuffing your face for the French - they prefer a sparkling glass of Champagne and a light elegant repast to a sugar-filled Coke and a heavy hamburger). In the beginning, Harriet thought the first course WAS the meal and ate accordingly. She soon learned that the French serve meals in courses and eat tiny amounts of each course. In other words, that five course meal is probably LESS caloric than your basic sandwich and soft drink. And certainly more fun. For more on the French and their healthy, sane attitude toward food, read "French Fried" which the only nine-star chef of France, Alain Ducasse, called a "lively, hilarious, and insightful" book. Harriet's last book French Fried has been published by St. Martin's Press and is available for sale at all major bookstores in the U.S. and in Paris (WH.Smith's, Brentano's, Galigliani, etc..) and on amazon.com etc... Like French Toast, French Fried is published in Chinese !!! Read Harriet's interview in Metropole Paris More details about the book.
