French food and French gastronomy

France is the land of gastronomy. Gastronomy in France is, of course, the sometimes legendary dishes invented here, but it's also a veritable art of living. So much so, in fact, that the French meal has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site...

Discover here all the typically French recipes I've collected. They come from various chefs and also from my grandmother, Simone, who was a fine cook. From sweet and savory recipes to desserts and family meals, you'll find everything you need to know about French dishes, big and small.
