Anyone know any french language recipe sites (like 'Zaar)?

[Wish I Could Cook]

Hi Everyone,
Do any of you know of any french-language recipe sites? Something like RecipeZaar would be great, but even if it's a more of a recipe database, that would be fine too.

Merci!

Salut!

I like this one:

http://www.cuisine-recettes.com/index.php - all in French though!

I also like this one:

http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/ - which has a forum too!

One more:

http://www.femmeactuelle.fr/ - click on Cuisine at the top of the web page! (This one has mad music and chat too!)

Hope youl like these as much as I do!

Oh these look just perfect! Part of my reason for asking is because I speak french, but don't really have all the lingo for cooking/baking. And, of course, I love to cook. So by browsing some recipes and forums I hope I can combine a couple of my passions.

I'm already drooling over some of the recipes!

That's brilliant! I (obviously) speak French too, and find that my language skills were improved by reading French cookbooks when I first came over here! About 1/3 of my cookbook collection is now in French - if you are interested I could scan a few pages for you and post them here! Give me some recipe ideas and we can swap French recipes here then!

Great site Rattie!

Yes; and there're both a French and English version. Her Poulet de Muriel (or Muriel's Chicken) was excellent.

One thing puzzles me though, and I am being pedantic, her use of zucchini and not courgette! Like I said, I am a pedant!

Her English is American, not British, Tarty, so she'd say "zucchini." We don't say "courgette" here; that's a Britishism. In her book (which I have) she talks about living in San Francisco with her American husband (or maybe boyfriend?)

No, I know that, but courgette is a French word is what I meant!

[RiverRat]

Oh, do you mean in the French-language version? Sorry; I'm a bit slow on the uptake. Yes, that's odd, except she may want to stick to the word she used for the title of her book and blog? You could post and ask her...

I have to share a new one that I just bookmarked: http://www.linternaute.com/femmes/cuisine/

Looks like a good one!

That's an interesting site. A lot of her recettes seem to be African in origin, so I would suspect that the website owner is as well. Things like a Senegalese dish à ma façon are possibly a tipoff, or the fact that she describes something as a family recipe. Some neat mixtures of spices and ingredients there.

Your comments made me go back and check again... the site is sponsored by a French magazine - Le Journal des Femmes. Not at all African or a blog. But I love African cooking, so now you have me curious about what you found... do share if you still have it!

Oh, okay; I was looking at recipes like this one:
