146 authentic French recipes
Butter, herbs, eggs, pan-sauces, bistro classics
French cuisine rests on a technical scaffold assembled over centuries: the brigade system attributed to Escoffier, the five mother sauces (béchamel, velouté, espagnole, sauce tomat, hollandaise), and a foundational repertoire of stocks, braises, and emulsions. The kitchen bifurcates sharply by register — haute cuisine operates in the white-tablecloth domain; bistros and brasseries serve accessible classics: steak-frites, pot-au-feu, crème brûlée. Regional terroir pulls equally hard: Provence relies on olive oil and herbes de Provence; Bourgogne on wine reductions and Dijon mustard; Bretagne on salted butter; Alsace on choucroute, riesling, and lard fumé. The French pantry returns repeatedly to butter, crème fraîche, wine, shallots, and fines herbes.
