Why French Cuisine?

The most inspiring thing about French Cuisine is that it offers you a variety of healthy ingredients in such flavorsome combinations that you cannot even anticipate. Take the Salade Paysanne; for example, it’s a simple mix of vegetables with duck leg and eggs, which makes it super healthy and nutritious. The ingredients that we commonly find in French Cuisine include:

• Duck meat
• Caviar
• Lamb, chicken, and beef meat
• Lobsters
• Olives
• Capers
• Fruits like berries and grapes
• Fresh veggies
• Salmon, shrimp, prawns, and seafood

What I love about French cuisine is that it’s naturally healthy and satisfying. From breakfast to lunch, dinner, and appetizers, you get to enjoy all the organic veggies, fruits, grains, and spices in a variety of ways. On the French breakfast menu, you can have a French omelet or Ratatouille Toasts, Croque Madame. In this way, you get to eat all the fiber-rich vegetables, bread, protein-filled eggs, and dairy.

When it comes to French sides, snacks or appetizers, and entrees, there are interesting options on the menu. You must have heard about most of these meals as today they are loved and enjoyed in different parts of the world. Here are a few of my favorite meal picks from French cuisine:

• Beef Bourguignon
• Cassoulet
• Croque Madame
• Beef Ragout
• Navarin of Lamb
• Cherry Clafoutis
• Gougeres
• Canapé Crostini
• Pea and Prawn Crostini

Besides these popular meals from France, I personally enjoy French street food. The guacamole cones shared in this cookbook are a pure delight, as they offer you everything in a single tortilla wrap. Then there’s the beloved crème brulee, which is a French specialty and quite popular around the world for its sweet and creamy flavors, and that delectable caramelized sugar topping.
