A French Dictionary of Food and Drinkby Philip Taylor

“”The essential guide, whether you speak French or not” – The Aude & Herault Times

France remains the world’s most popular tourist destination, and food certainly ranks very high among the pleasures to be enjoyed there. Yet many restaurants, particularly those most worth visiting, the more authentic establishments catering to native tastes, present a key challenge to the non-French speaker: the menu is unlikely to be translated, or where it is, the English version may be a source of bemusement as much as one of culinary enticement.

The long, proud history of French cuisine, in all its regional variety and inventiveness, its firm traditions and continual innovations, means that a little help will be invaluable to most non-Francophone diners.

This bilingual French and English dictionary provides approximately 1000 of the most common food and drink terms in both directions, making it the perfect companion for understanding French menus, recipes, and other food-related texts. This is, therefore, an ideal reference work for tourists in particular, but also for language students, catering professionals and anyone with an interest in the complex, often confusing, yet incredibly rewarding world of French cuisine.

The Dark Conquerorby Kathryn Le Veque

Titan Medieval Houses go head to head in this sweeping and poignant Medieval Romance!

When the House of de Lohr (Rise of the Defender) and the House of de Velt (The Dark Lord) come together through their children, anything can happen – and anything does!

Cassian de Velt came to foster with Christopher de Lohr at a young age. From nearly the first day he arrived at Lioncross Abbey Castle, his gaze was drawn to Brielle de Lohr, Christopher’s second eldest daughter. As children, they shared a friendship that was strong and innocent – enjoying the same things, having the same sense of humor. All of the things that made a strong friendship develop into a love that could not be broken.

Unfortunately, they were only teenagers when Cassian asked Brielle to run away with him so they could be married. That lapse in judgement brought the wrath of Brielle’s father and Cassian was banished. Ashamed and angered, Cassian refused to return home to his family, instead, finding a lucrative position with the elderly Earl of Colchester. When the earl suffers a reversal of fortune at the hands of the king, Cassian is out of a job.

He finds his calling – and his fortune – on the tournament circuit as the knight known as The Dark Conqueror.

Cassian always hoped to build his fortune, and his reputation, and return for Brielle. That has been his one goal. Ten years later, he returns for her, rich and powerful. Brielle is thrilled to see him again, for in all those years, she never married. She refused to entertain suitors. But Cassian returns with a secret, something he won’t speak of, something Brielle only becomes aware of through his odd behavior. When Brielle’s sister, a former spy for William Marshal, begins to probe, an astonishing story begins to emerge. What was thought to be a secret is really, in truth, a duty.

To another woman.

Will Cassian’s duty to one woman be enough to prevent the marriage to the only woman he’s ever loved?

The Dark Conqueror is part of the Battlelords of de Velt series:

The Dark Lord
Devil’s Dominion
Bay of Fear
The Dark Spawn

The Children by Lorhainne Eckhart

She picked up the wrong file, and now everything is falling apart.

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a new Billy Jo McCabe mystery set on a small island in the Pacific Northwest. When social worker Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, she discovers a shocking, twisted mystery plotted by a high-ranking social worker in the DCFS.

When Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, before she realizes her mistake, she discovers a secret no one was supposed to find.

She takes the file to the newly appointed chief of police, Mark Friessen, but he doesn’t believe her–that is, until they discover dozens more files and missing money from vulnerable at-risk children who have aged out of the system and are living on the streets.

As she digs into the files, the system, and the people involved, everything falls apart.

And what Mark and Billy Jo discover is a secret far more shocking than missing money.
