French Gastronomy in Culture - My New Obsession
October 13th 2008 22:24
A few weeks ago I prepared a multi-course French dinner. I was inspired by a cookbook I am reading by an author who has a French style bistro restaurant. I realized by reading that book that there are many things that make sense to me about French cooking.
One that I most appreciate is their unbridled passion for food and taking pleasure from it. Food is meant to satiate us, yes. But that doesn't mean that the food needs to be boring and uninteresting. Researching how to go about preparing that dinner whet my curiosity and appetite for the French way of eating.
Now, I desire to not only learn the Yprocess of how the French approach food. I also want to understand the different regional cuisines and traditions. For example, I just learned of the Christmas Yule cake that people only eat once a year. I'm intrigued enough to want to make my own, or at least sample it for myself.
