What does a la mean in English?

"A la" is a French phrase meaning "in the style of" or "according to the manner of". It's often used to describe a particular style or method of preparing food, but it can also be used more generally to describe any kind of style.

Here are some examples:

* à la carte: "According to the menu", referring to ordering individual items from a menu rather than a set meal.

* à la mode: "In fashion", referring to something that is stylish or fashionable.

* à la King: A dish of chicken or seafood cooked in a creamy sauce.

* à la Grecque: "In the Greek style", often referring to dishes using olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs.

When you see "à la" followed by a word, it means that something is being done in the style of whatever follows "à la".
