Master French Foodie Words in 8 Minutes | Ep. 14

Bienvenue to a new episode of Léo’s French Corner! 🇫🇷

Have you ever panicked in a beautiful Michelin-starred restaurant when the Chef approached your table? Did you completely forget your vocabulary and just say, “C’est très bon”? In this episode, Léo gives Sophie the ultimate haute gastronomy survival kit so you can sound like a true culinary expert!

In this episode, you will learn:

✅ How to describe the texture of high-quality meat and fish perfectly using words like “Tendre” and “Fondant”.

✅ The secret to praising rich, silky French sauces with “Onctueux” and “Velouté”.

✅ How to describe the satisfying contrast of a dish with the word “Croustillant”.

✅ How to sound like a refined food critic when discussing flavors using “Subtil” and “Relevé” instead of basic words like sweet or salty.

✅ The simple 2-word trick (“Corsé” and “Doux”) to confidently guide the waiter at the intimidating French cheese cart.

✅ The ultimate compliments to make any Michelin-starred Chef happy: “C’est un véritable délice” and “C’est parfaitement équilibré”.
