August 1, 2020,
Are you at home right now?
Voluntarily or mandated?
Do you need cheering up? The solution is simple and you already know what it is.
Think in French.
About France. About falling in love. About eating good French food while someone else pays for it. About watching a French romantic comedy, which will cheer you up.
Ready?
We have a suggestion.
You have a heart right? Don’t let it get broken.
Heartbreaker (French: L'Arnacœur) is a 2010 French romantic comedy film starring Romain Duris, Vanessa Paradis, Julie Ferrier and François Damiens.
Love struck, fandango.com announces, “Charming, funny and effortlessly cool, Alex (Romain Duris) is a professional Don Juan who makes a living breaking up couples with his sister Mélanie (Julie Ferrier of MICMACS).
Because business is slow, they go against their principles to break up only unhappy couples and agree to work for M. Van Der Bercq.
Alex has only one week to stop the wealthy man’s daughter Juliette (Vanessa Paradis) from marrying the man she is madly in love with. Alex is soon thrown into his own hilarious seduction “mission impossible” that risks him being caught by his ruthless personal creditors, angry exes and the beautiful and independent Juliette herself. But worst of all, will he discover to his own cost that when it comes to love, the perfect plan doesn’t exist?”
At one time or another, haven’t we all discovered that?
Here Alex will seduce any woman you want to fall in love with him, thus breaking her out of an existing relationship, after which he'll disappear.
Do you want to be him or be with him?
Did that cheer you up? At least a little bit. We’re just getting started.
If we’ve decided to watch a French romantic comedy, we’ll heighten the experience by eating French food.
French cuisine, developed throughout the centuries, is influenced by the many surrounding cultures of Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium, in addition to its own food traditions on the long western coastlines of the Atlantic, the Channel and of course, inland.
Knowledge of French cooking has contributed significantly to Western cuisines. Its criteria are used widely in Western cookery school boards and culinary education.
There are many dishes that are considered part of French national cuisine today.
A meal often consists of three courses, hors d'œuvre or entrée (introductory course, sometimes soup), plat principal (main course), fromage (cheese course) or dessert, sometimes with a salad offered before the cheese or dessert.
Over 9,000 restaurants exist in Paris and almost any cuisine can be obtained here. High-quality Michelin Guide-rated restaurants proliferate there.
French cuisine varies according to the season. In summer, salads and fruit dishes are popular because they are refreshing and produce is inexpensive and abundant.
Green grocers prefer to sell their fruits and vegetables at lower prices if needed, rather than see them rot in the heat.
At the end of summer, mushrooms become plentiful and appear in stews throughout France.
The hunting season begins in September and runs through February. Game of all kinds is eaten, often in elaborate dishes that celebrate the success of the hunt. Shellfish are at their peak when winter turns to spring, and oysters appear in restaurants in large quantities.
Well, that is a good start for amateurs.
If you want to turn your attention to the experts to help you with your French adventure, we think we’ve found just the team. They are called Taste Of France Magazine.
At tasteoffrancemag.com they warmly share, “Your French food bible, each issue is jam-packed with recipes, French restaurant recommendations and interviews with chefs like Pierre Hermé, Éric Lanlard and Michel Roux.
With easy meals for beginner home cooks and challenging pâtisserie for more experienced French food connoisseurs, you’ll want to take your copy straight to the kitchen!

Sounds enticing. We are in such a good mood.
It is a sunny, cool day in San Francisco (isn’t it always) and we want to know more.
