French cuisine is extremely diverse unlike other country's cuisines. An understanding of the culture of French food or recipes is an understanding of France itself. You will get different kinds of dishes across the regions of France. Every region of France has different methods to prepare food with different kinds of ingredients.
In the given write up, I have described how I love making foods and eating the French dishes specially. Although the French dishes are believed to be simple but they are not bland in taste. French cuisine is the most elegant and refined cuisine. French cuisines are usually a combination of wine and cheese and thus wine and cheeses are the integral part of French food.
French cooking is not all complicated... Most of the cooking is quite effortless. There is no especial technique to master to produce delicious entrees, filling main courses and tempting desserts.
Try our five most uncomplicated French dishes.
Crepes: they are the perfect breakfast for holidays and even can be served as a wonderful dessert item. It is made by pouring a thin liquid batter into a frying pan evenly which is often greased with butter.Crepes can be eaten with different kinds of fillings, from the simple with only sugar to flambeed crepes Suzette plus elegant savory fillings.
Basque chicken: the dish is the speciality of France's southwestern Basque region which uses the smoked ham, red peppers, onions, paprika and tomatoes put together in a savory stew. Traditionally basque chicken is served with rice.
Quiche: it is the easiest dish and the favorite of all the kids. You can make variety of quiches such as spinach quiche, broccoli quiche or salmon quiche. Quiche is cooked with eggs and milk in a pastry crust. The pastry shell has to be baked before you add other ingredients like cooked meat, vegetables or cheese.
Tapenade: it is believed to be one of the quickest appetizers. It consists of pureed olives, capers, anchovies and olive oil. Being a popular food in southern France, it has an amazing flavor of Provence. While making the tapenade, the olives and capers are chopped and you need to add olive oil till you make a thick paste. For giving flavors, garlic, herbs, brandy and lemon juices are the perfect ingredients.
Chocolate truffle: at the time of Christmas Eve, almost all the shops in France devote no less than an entire aisle to French Christmas Treats. And it's not unusual to discover dozens of brands of chocolate truffles. It's a fantastic blown chocolate that I feel should be included to close a meal. Chocolate truffle is made with a chocolate ganache which is most often coated in cocoa powder. You can also use cream, caramel, nuts as well as berries for fillings.
