Ginette Mathiot wasn’t a chef. But in 1932, she wrote Je Sais Cuisiner. No royalties. Just a flat fee, split with someone else.
She went on to write 30+ books, including one on yacht cooking. Still France’s best-selling cookbook author.

It’s National Doughnut Day in the US, but here in France we’re more into beignets—soft, sugary, and just the right amount of naughty. Doughnuts wear sprinkles. Beignets wear lingerie. 🇫🇷💋

Fact—sort of!

In traditional meals, cheese is often a regular course.

And with so many types of cheese, it’s easy to see how the habit sticks!

Myth!

Cheese in France isn’t eaten after every meal.

It’s mostly served after lunch or dinner—never breakfast.

Still, it’s a treasured part of the culinary culture!

Is it true that the French eat cheese after every meal? 🧀

A delicious stereotype—or is there more to it?

Do the French eat cheese with every meal?

The name “Cabécou” isn’t just cute — it’s Occitan! From cabe (goat) and cou (little), this petite cheese wears its roots with pride. Also known as Cabrillou or Cabecou depending on the dialect. A delicious lesson in language & culture.
