French cuisine is one of the world’s most renowned food in the world. There are so many different dishes that the French are famous for, as well as the often difficult techniques to master. However, there is so much to learn from the French, so here are a few tips you can use in your kitchen to feel a bit more French.
Mise En Place
Literally translating to “everything in place” this French technique should be utilized anytime you cook. This is when you prepare everything before you begin cooking, whether it’s chopping vegetables or measuring out all your ingredients. This will ensure that when you begin cooking, you can smoothly move from one stage to another, and so you won’t forget any ingredients along the way.
Pay Attention To Sauce
The French are famous for their truly decadent sauces, and that is what generally ties any great dish together. The easiest way to make a sauce, especially for meat, is to use the juices that have been released during the cooking process. Simply take the drippings, add flour and broth, and reduce. This will not only reinforce the flavor of your dish but make sure nothing goes to waste.
