Francine has the ability to take you with her on her journey through the world of food. She writes passionately with lots of interesting details and always leaves you with a real desire to experience her food. Luckily recipes can also found and you can try out for yourself ! I Love it!

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Life in the Food Lane is the Larousse of the food blogging world. Francine's encyclopedic knowledge of all things food makes for delicious and addictive reading.

absolutely unique in writing style (very knowledgable and still funny), worthy of a huge EGO, but stays so pleasantly down to earth. I can't decide: do I read it for the food or out of curiosity for the originality and creative language?

This blog stays true to the saying "You eat with your eyes first". The photos are aesthetic and beautiful just as food should be served. Mixed with curious pictures of the people and the environment from where the food originates, the blog is also a travel diary of culture and society. The text is often witty and easy to read with a tongue in the cheek kind of humour.

What to do with some of the crazy ingredients you find around the world or how to improvise where perhaps you just can't find that key ingredient (even if its the wine). Francine will always have you laughing to a solution. Great blog!

What I love about this blog, is the originality. It's always something different, and not something you'll find in a recipe book. And I also love how she uses her travels to share different ingredients and flavours. Great read.

Your tantalizing descriptions of not only Dubai culinary experiences but all your edible holidays cause all to subconsciously lick their fingers as if there beside you. No other foodie can invoke the aroma, taste and passion for food as you do...a read of Life in the Food Lane should include WARNING: Readers will drool and feel they have consumed a five star meal (without the calories:). What differentiates you from other bloggers is your true passion for food, not only as a consumer but as an inventive chef whose love of different cultures can be seen in every dish you create and share with us. One does not simply read your blog, one is transported and can taste each delictable morsel with you and wishes they had a Life in the Food Lane!
