Today I'm going to tell you about cooking in France.
Fundamentals of French Cuisine
Ingredients
French cuisine is known for its focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. Markets are always filled with fragrant herbs, fresh vegetables, ripe fruits, and select meats. Bakeries fill the streets with the scent of freshly baked baguettes and croissants.
Technique
Cooking techniques play a crucial role. French chefs pay attention to detail, whether it's slicing vegetables or preparing sauces. Key techniques include:
Sautéing (quickly frying in a pan)
Braising (slow cooking over low heat)
Flambéing (igniting food with added alcohol)
Confiting (slow cooking in fat)
