French

How do French women stay so slim and eat such rich food? These tips might have something to do with it:
- Portion sizes are slightly smaller, with the emphasis on quality, not quantity.
- French cuisine is famous for rich sauces; mostly all dishes can be served without the sauce. Ask for the sauce on the side, or skip it all together.
 Try
- Green salad with fat-free dressing on side
- Onion soup without the cheese
- Vichyssoise (cold potato soup)
- Crudits (fresh vegetables)
- Steamed (au vapour) dishes
- Grill� (grilled) entrees
- En brochette (skewered and broiled)
- Tournedos (beef tenderloin)
- Grilled salmon
- Saffron rice, parslied potatoes
- Cassoulet (white bean dish)
- Bouillabaisse (seafood stew)
