ReplyDeleteI love the luxurious classics, but it's the regional specialties that really intrigue me. Recently, I discovered Storzapretis, a Corsican gnocchi-like dish, and treats like Gâteau Basque now make regular appearances at my table.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite dish is tarte tatin and I would love to have this book.
ReplyDeleteI love making confit de canard! And I most want to learn to make some delicious cheese and chocolate gf soufflé !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile I do enjoy Savory French food, I think where the cuisine excels is in its Pattiserrie : Macaroons, Eclairs, Croissants stuffed with chocolate, tarte tartine's, croquembouches. Oh Lord, I can go on for hours. Sigh! Drool!

ReplyDeleteGreat book! And my French favourite is creme brûlée :)
ReplyDeleteBoth me & my husband love French cuisine and have been to couple of French restaurants. We had coriander crusted tuna and spiced long island duck breast at one restaurant and the taste was heavenly. The creme brulee we had there was just out of the world. I would love to learn duck confit and creme brulee

Coq au Vin, without the pork
ReplyDeleteMy favorite french dish is coq au vin. So good to eat, and I love cooking it.
ReplyDeleteFresh bread with butter and apricot jam. The whole time I was in school in France that's what they fed us for breakfast. Delicious! Add the early morning walk to the boulangerie across the Norman beach and you pretty much have heaven. But one of these days, I need to finally cook Coq au Vin.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite French dish, which I've made many times, is quiche (any kind)
ReplyDeleteToss up between a Chicken Fricassee and a simple Croque Monsieur
ReplyDeleteMy fav French dish is Beef Bourguignon, and although it takes a lot of time and care it always turns out fantastic
ReplyDeleteDoes creme anglais count? Bahaha.
ReplyDeleteDuck Confit is a favourite! We so love cooking and eating French dishes and sweet.
ReplyDeleteI've only really cooked Julia Child's boeuf bourguignon (http://cynfulkitchen.ca/2012/04/22/boeuf-bourguignon/) and ratatouille. Would love to expand my French cooking repertoire!
ReplyDeleteI love rillettes and escargots
ReplyDeleteRatatouille. Simple but irreplaceable.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is a very simple bouillabaisse (I hope that's how you spell it).
