French Conversation (BEGINNER - A1)

LEVEL: BEGINNER - A1 — 11am PT / 2pm ET

🍽️ Gastronomy: a Luxury or a Necessity ? 🍲😋 - Do you like food? I do… probably like 99.99% of the world’s population (and beyond👽?). If you’re a foodie, you’ll undoubtedly be interested in the great minds who theorized gastronomy, aka high cuisine. From Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin to Auguste Escoffier, French masters dedicated centuries to perfecting this art. So, if you’re looking for inspiration for your next MasterChef attempt, join this week’s discussion!

#### Preparation:

• watch this week’s episode about gastronomy: https://youtu.be/Ym_sJMuta5M (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).
• (optional) watch related episodes: la fourchette, la dégustation de vin, le paradoxe français
• treat yourself to your favorite dish
• prepare one or two questions

[ If sold out on Meetup, you may find more spots available for the same session on https://www.frenchconversationgroup.com ]
