French Cuisine Feature Writer: Larry Ervin

Bienvenu. The French elevated cooking to a culinary art that has influenced the entire world's cuisine and even the way we talk about food.

No Cordon Bleu training needed here. The basic techniques of French Cuisine are accessible to any home cook. Check the glossary when you see a term you don't know.

What’s on the menu? While haute cuisine's sauces were once reserved for royalty, nouvelle cuisine offers a cleaner, lighter approach, revealing rather than masking the flavor of fresh local ingredients. Discover each region’s distinctive dishes from Normandy to Provence.

Omelettes, Crèpes, Pâtés, Soufflés to Ragouts--from saucy to simple, the choice is yours. Bon appetit!

Leftovers? Money in your pocket: Learn to Love Leftovers.
