French Cuisine

» Jacqueline Church - Forgive me if the spelling's off...too many years!

Well, Welcome! I cut my teeth on Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I enjoy your writing already. I think some of the best food I've had was simple, much of it French. Too many Americans have the misconception (how can they, still?) that French food is only complex, inaccessible haute cuisine.

Looking forward to more!

Well, I must admit that one Michelin hotel/resto I went to in Sauveterre-en-Rouergues, really kept it simple when, because of a jippy tummy, I asked for something 'simple' for dinner. So, we received two hard-boiled eggs!!! In a starred restaurant! Admittedly, they were perfectly boiled, but I just found it amusing in the context of French cuisine being simple - and bearing in mind what lavish, but simple, creations we'd had on previous evenings - to encounter boiled eggs.
