Although the French-inspired recipes included here are as French as the Cordon Bleu Culinary School, you don’t need to have the skills of a qualified French chef to make them. Some are classic, some are modernised, but all of them will give a French flair to your meals when you make them! As usual, I include my own favourites as well as a few recipes by Carolié de Koster from her ever-popular Art Of Cooking recipe book.
- French Toast
- French Onion Soup
- Sole Meuniere
- Ratatouille
- Salted Caramel Macaron
- French Meringue
- Floating Islands
- Raspberry Clafoutis
Also have a look at the post Getting Sauce Savvy, where I provide information on the “mother sauces” of French cuisine as well as the late Julia Child’s Tips and Hints on how to make the perfect sauce.
