It is not a book of recipes, nor does it describe any dishes or courses that you will be offered in a restaurant or cafe. Many people rent a house, villa or apartment, or stay in a mobile home, caravan or tent, when having a holiday or touring through France, and they enjoy the pleasures of self-catering in a country where so much good food is so plentiful. Most visitors will use recipes written in English, and many will be bewildered by the variety of different names of the meat, fish and vegetables in the supermarkets, shops and market stalls. French cuts of meat are often dissimilar to those we are used to buying in the UK, and very often the shop assistants or stall holders do not speak English. Anyone who makes an obvious effort to ask for their purchases in the national language will receive much more help from the local people than otherwise. In some cases, there is more than one name for the same thing, because they are called different names in different regions. For example, the fish that we call 'sea bass' in English is known as 'loup de mer' along the coast of France that borders the Mediterranean, and 'barr' along the Atlantic coast. Cheeses and wines have been kept to a minimum because there are so many of each available throughout that lovely country that this small guide would become far too big and cumbersome to carry round the shops with you, which would defeat the object of having a small, portable reference aid to food shopping. Also, there are many reference books on those two items that describe the cheeses and wines in great detail, region by region. The basic essentials needed for cooking are the only ones that have been included. At the back of the book I have put some helpful tips for use when buying such items as sliced meat or ham when you may want the slices to be thicker or thinner, or, for harder or softer cheese for example. A table of comparative heat settings between gas and electric ovens is shown, along with a guide to pronunciation. France has a lot to offer, and the people are generally helpful and polite. Regular use of the magic phrases 's'il vous plait' and 'merci' will work wonders, and help to cement the entente cordiale. Happy shopping.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49600430604561,"sku":"GOR005804648","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50261621047569,"sku":"GOR006122043","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1897597487.jpg?v=1751379654"},{"product_id":"short-term-trading-and-long-term-investing-book-charles-vintcent-9780273630579","title":"Short Term Trading and Long Term Investing","description":"\"A highly worthwhile read for both novice and experienced investors alike\". – David Guild, Laing and Cruickshank    This book is the secret to winning more times than you lose.

Sometimes the rise or fall is limited to a few shares, occasionally the whole market is affected. This cyclical peak and trough pattern is natural, but the strength and length of the rise or fall varies considerably.         Over the last two years, investors have seen their capital values dramatically reduced and people who relied on fixed income securities have had their income fall substantially. Many private investors are utterly bemused and bewildered. But as the market changes and we get used the altered roles of banks and financial institutions, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money and secure good returns on your investments.          Using both fundamental analysis and also describing the importance of technical analysis to monitor share price progress and control risk, Investing for Recovery will assist you in developing a strategy for this new and unfamiliar age. It will help you preserve your hard earned capital by limiting the downside of risk, explain how to carry out your own due diligence to ensure that your selections have the strength to survive temporary setbacks, and above all it will show you how to find safe, and profitable, investment opportunities.                       Investing for Recovery will help you understand the fundamental and long-term changes in the stock market that have taken place since the crash of 2008. It's an essential tool which you can use when you need to make the right investment decisions in these changing times. In this accessible and practical guide, Charles Vintcent will remind you constantly about the need for safety first, will help you protect your capital against the ravages of inflation, identify the risk of loss from poor stock and will help you achieve your investing objectives.          Investing for Recovery is a guide to the new way of doing business in the stock market.        Summarises the changes happening in the bank and investment industry and identifies the long term effects of the credit crunch   Shows you where to find reliable sources of information and how to evaluate risk   Helps you carry out fundamental analysis and how to recognise danger signals   Explains the way in which short term speculation can boost your capital growth   Helps you identify winners and limit risk                    About the authors         Charles Vintcent worked for 25 years as a private client stockbroker giving investment advice and dealing on the market.
