Keep your hands on the table or rest your wrists on the edge of the table when not eating.
Eat with the fork in your left hand and knife in the right.
Always wait for the head of the table or the host to say "bon appétit" before starting to eat.
Always cheers before drinking: raise your glass and say "a votre santé"- "To your health"... If the table has a host or head, he/she will be the person to give the toast as well as to say "bon appétit"
Most meals come with bread. If you don’t have a side plate, putting the bread on the tablecloth beside your plate is fine.
Whenever Mark and I share a meal with friends, someone asks him for his recipes. I started this blog so that we could share our favorites with all the friends, friends of friends, and beyond who enjoy food from My Husband's Kitchen.
