## Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the #1 national bestselling French Women Don't Get Fat comes an “invigorating” guide ( The New York Times Book Review ) to the art of joyful living—in moderation, in season, and, above all, with pleasure. Together with a bounty of new dining ideas and menus, Mireille Guiliano offers us fresh, cunning tips on style, grooming, and entertaining. Here are four seasons' worth of strategies for shopping, cooking, and exercising, as well as some pointers for looking effortlessly chic. Taking us from her childhood in Alsace-Lorraine to her summers in Provence and her busy life in New York and Paris, this wise and witty book shows how anyone anywhere can develop a healthy, holistic lifestyle.

Review: The author to read if you want authentic French ideas - I started with French Women Don't Get Fat and loved this book. It was not a "diet" book but a mind modification as to how to eat a smaller amount and be just as satisfied as if you had an enormous plate full of food. I ordered French Women for All Seasons, and am enjoying it as well. Although given the two choices, I'd go with the first book. Mireillle Guilliano is an engaging author with many anecdotes about her life growing up in France and living in New York. Her recipes are simple and delicious. Yes, some of the ingredients are not easy to find in the Midwest, but most are. She stresses eating the fruits and vegetables in season at that time, and finding quality fruits and vegetables at local markets instead of supermarkets. I've read one book by Anne Garonne and found it less than informative. If you want authenticity, read M. Guiliano's books. I also ordered her cookbook, but haven't gotten to it yet.
Review: The follow-up book to "French Women Don't Get Fat" gives us more to enjoy in our quest for the finer pleasures - A quote form Henry Thoreau, "Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be your only diet drink and botanical medicines". This quote places the entire book, "French Women for All Seasons" under the umbrella of our going green way of life - to keep things local, seasonal and affordable. Another quote which expands on "You are what you eat" - by gastronome Brillat-Savarin is, "The destiny of a nation depends on how it feeds itself". In a nutshell, living in the moment, enjoying the season you are in and considering your surroundings encompasses the high points of Mireille Guiliano's book. The book divides French habits from American. Where we Americans are all about excess and all-you-can-eat, Ms. Guiliano contrasts the differences. Eating just to eat or to avoid boredom, while tapping on laptops are not reasons to consume food. But those are rampant reasons to eat in America. In France eating is an event. Even sipping on coffee is pared down yet savored. Rather than a quad grande with extra whip, the French will partake in a demitasse cup of espresso and receive more gratification with fewer calories in more time. Montagne observed that gluttony is the source of all our infirmaries. Considering many Americans will eat, gain weight and go see a chiropractor to help their aches and pains, we are not that far from the truth. It's a proven fact that eating less, drinking more water and exercising daily will drop your weight, keep ills at bay and lead to better well-being. It's an easy equation and one we Americans avoid like the plague. Why don't we follow this routine? Why don't we take the stairs more than the elevator? Probably because we have so many options. Much like our excessive food consumption, we have no idea where to begin. Mireille Guiliano gives us a formula of how to WANT to live differently. She breaks it down into seasons. What's fresh? What brings back memories of that season? How it's more economical and supports local growers. Lots of yummy reasons to live in the moment and enjoy the season we are in. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter are all addressed here. Guiliano discusses what is in season and what to look forward to year after year in that season. Harvest soups in the fall have a certain smell. A certain feeling comes from being cold and getting warm from the inside out. We all love it and Guiliano tells us how to achieve it year after year and ultimately live in the moment. ---Lisa Plancich, Etiquette Writer & Editor

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ bought both books
*by J***E on December 10, 2006*

OK, so I liked the first one well enough to buy the second book. The recipes in both are terrific. The ideas are charming and give you a window into French attitudes etc. If you (like Jackie Kennedy) think French is the last "correct" word in everything maybe you won't mind being told the correct way to tie a scarf around your neck! (she manages to fill several pages explaining how to do this in the second book) Problem is, the second one really adds nothing new. (but does have more terrific recipes and in it, she does refer to herself as a "little being"! which is worth the price of the book) Her video on Amazon advertizing the first book prominantly displays and the book outright advertizes "her" Champagne (which I noticed was sold in Safeway! so no la-te-da there) I just got the feeling that, in spite of the good recipes and some good ideas, both books were concieved as advertizing and have no doubt been profitable both for the company and for her. French Women Don't get Fat could have just as easily been titled "Upperclass Women Don't DARE get Fat" If Ms Beeton's cookery books in the Victorian era tought lower classes how to be middle class, the the popularity of these two books is due to middle class with money who want to social climb
