French words of the day: entrée

entrée - introduction (but in some restaurants with French menus the entrée is the main course and the starter is called hors d'oevre which means outside (of - de) (the) work
Maitre d'
Memoir

I hope the Maitre d' will write about the hors d'oevres and Entrées in his memoir.

How does a memoir differ from an autobiography? A memoir is a memory, a selective memory, for example giving only your work experience as a ballet dancer, in a theatre, or part of your work life as head of a company, with a focus. An autobiography might take in your entire life from your birth until retirement.
