Nobody Does it Better: Why French Cooking is still the best in the world

  • About

This section is a peek at what a food-fashion-conscious maêtresse de maison is serving today. It is also an illustration of how French cooks master a cooking technique and then change around the ingredients to create something at once new but familiar. It’s not just a question of substituting apples for pears... sweet becomes savoury, fish becomes meat, fruit becomes vegetable, not one flavour is used but three in smaller portions...

These new classics have also helped change the very structure of a typical French dinner party. With more slow-cooked, one-pot dishes such as tagine or bourguignon being produced, guests simply don’t have room for starters AND cheese. Very often the aperitif becomes more consequential, with a tapas-style mini dish or two being served with drinks.
