International Cooking Series: French Cuisine
May 18, 2009 | (14 comments) | Post a Comment
Depending where you are in France, the style of cooking will vary by region. Re-create a Parisian bistro meal by putting out a crusty baguette, good butter and sharable plates of pate, grilled croque sandwiches, roast chicken and moules or mussels. If rustic country fare is more what you're after, indulge in a hearty crock of cassoulet, bouillabaisse or a savory quiche followed by a sweet rustic apple tart to end the meal. Once you've tackled some of these regional favorites, you'll be ready to try French Tart's French Lunch Menu where spending three-plus hours at the table is essential and immensely pleasurable. Experience the joie de vivre of France by cooking up some of its best dishes — you'll see how making every meal count is a delicious way to live. Bon appétit!

Hello Kate and Sarah!
I spent a year as an "au pair" in Paris when I was 21 (a very long, long time ago). I cared for a baby, whose Mother and Grandmother were like miraculous cooking goddesses to me, though they both thought of themselves as absolutely ordinary cooks. During that year, I had meals I can vividly remember to this day! I can't wait to check out the French Forum. BTW, I'm a very new member of RZ.
WELCOME KayBeeH! Come on down to the French forum - you will be made very welcome!
Love the escargot feature in this issue of the ZAAR Newsletter. Love escargot; prepared many different recipes; and enjoyed them all....

Especially i like Italian cuisine. I found a nice recipe book at the pdf format search engine http://pdf.rapid4me.com . It helped me a lot.
