Paris. Croissant. The most delicious pastry. Fancy food. Michelin started restaurants. French Riviera and Normandy shores. All this and a lot more is France.
The history of French cuisine goes way back in the centuries and it is told that the first professional cooks - chef, nowadays - have been started to work 700 years ago, for the Kings of France and their court.
The French cuisine is rich and gorgeous. The territory is generous and the country has always been relatively prosperous, therefore the ingredients have always been expensive and not second cuts. While Italian cuisine is historically based on poor dishes made of leftovers and less fancy meat and fish cuts, French cooking rhymes with fancy ingredients like fois gras, scallops, oysters and escargot.
Also famous for its pastry, the French desserts are gorgeous, enriched sweet fillings and served from breakfast to dinner as one of the very best assets of the country.
