    spoon names and sizes

    I'm puzzled by you're translating 'teaspoon' as 'une cuillère à café'. Surely it should be 'une cuillère à thé'? I've also heard 'une petite cuillère'. I would expect to reserve 'une cuillère à café' for a coffee spoon, a different, smaller item.

    I agree with your logic but I recall having a similar query with my step-son who lives and works in France.

    His explanation is that coffee is consumed much more than tea in France. I wasn't impressed with that excuse, but that seems to be the practical explanation.

    Mix up

    Surely a mixing bowl = 'un bol à mélanger' and 'un saladier' is just an editing error, copied over from the previous line?
