French Cuisine
Feature Writer: Larry Ervin
Bienvenu. Welcome to La Maison Française, honoring the nation that elevated cooking to a culinary art and influenced the entire world of cuisine and even the language of food.
Cordon Bleu training not required. The basic techniques of French Cuisine here are accessible to any home cook. Check the glossary when you see a term you don't know.
What’s on the menu? While classic French cuisine exults in its sauces, 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.
From saucy to simple, from farmhouse cooking to haute cuisine, the choice is yours. Bon appetit!
Check the specials board for recipes, wines, ingredients and techniques.
