French

French cuisine, in our opinion, is about the best food in the world. The French mastered so many techniques and recipes, it’s just amazing.

To the French, a meal is not just something you eat, it should be something you experience.

Some of our most cherished recipes that we’re thrilled to share with you are: Mussels with Garlic and White Wine, Coq au Vin, Beef Bourguignon and Instant Pot Chicken Provençal.

Authentic Chocolate Eclairs is a recipe worth writing home about.

Bon Apetit!
