Lessons from the country that knows how to savor delicious food—and still stay slim and healthy. With wit and wisdom, this book explores the attitudes of reverence and respect for food and dining in France—where the average citizen is slimmer and the average life expectancy is longer than in the United States. What does the land of croissants and creamy sauces know that calorie-obsessed Americans don’t? Exposing the shortcomings of quick-fix fad diets, The French Twist encourages you to examine your unique connections to food, abandon your fears about eating, and reject common myths about weight loss. Among the secrets the book reveals are the importance of eating authentic and high-quality food, and the role of pleasure and balance in proper nutrition and successful weight management. The French approach is validated by up-to-date science on metabolism as it relates to the psychology of eating—and offers a delightful new way to live.
Nearly twenty years ago Beth Miller moved with her husband and four young kids from suburban New Jersey to a 200-year-old Federal period house and barn in rural Maine. She didn’t garden, she didn’t keep chickens or bees, she didn’t know how to preserve food, and she didn’t know how to make soap or hook rugs. She embarked on a journey to learn these heritage skills that have been largely forgotten, and today she owns and operates Parris House Wool Works, a traditional rug-hooking company serving both crafters and end buyers. It is also a working village homestead and workshop where she practices and teaches heritage skills, including all aspects of gardening, beekeeping, rug hooking, preserving, and soap making. Seasons at the Parris House is separated into seasonal sections and includes historical context and homestead related activities for each season, plus instructions for a set of related projects and recipes.
With wit and wisdom, this exploration of the French attitudes shows how to revere and respect food and dining. Based on a desire to take the American obsession with weight in a new direction, it exposes the shortcomings of quick-fix, fad diets and encourages readers to examine their unique connections to food.
