A Taste of France: Traditional French Cooking Made Easy with Authentic French Recipes - Paperback

by Sarah Spencer (Author)

Bring the flavors of France into your kitchen with easy-to-make authentic French recipes!
***BLACK AND WHITE EDITION***

French cuisine is synonymous with high-quality food, and it is no mystery that the world's best chefs are trained in the French methods of cooking. The French don't just eat to be full; they consider it a cultural experience and treat each meal as something special. They set aside time to eat, and they value quality over quantity. Their choices tend to be fresh, and groceries are often bought in small quantities, more often.

When it comes to the ingredients of French cooking, you will find both variety and simplicity. Think in terms of fresh vegetables at their peak of ripeness, so much so that you can smell their flavor ready to burst from them. Rich and juicy meats that are silky and succulent when cooked, sweets that are a taste of heaven, and let's not forget about the regional staples: wine and cheese.
