The Culture and Traditions of French Regional Cuisine: Parisian Cuisine

In France, the Parisian region is by far the smallest, but its cuisine is also one of the most rich and flavourful. The style of cooking known as la Grande Cuisine comes from Paris and dates back to medieval times when royal chefs competed to see who could concoct the most elaborate dishes. French cooking, also referred to as haute cuisine, is considered by many to be the standard against which all other cuisines are measured. Nouvelle cuisine, which became popular in the 1970s, was in reaction to the rich dishes of classic French cuisine. Nouvelle cuisine has a healthful cooking philosophy - crisp cooked vegetables and fruit based sauces as opposed to flour and cream sauces. From classic French cooking to nouvelle cuisine, there is something to satisfy every palate in Parisian Cuisine. A sample menu may include Beef Consomme Celestine, Salmon Tartar Dijonnaise, Rabbit in Tarragon Mustard Sauce Parisian Style, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Choux Chantilly Caramel Sauce.

BC 211 W08A: 6 Mondays, Jan 28-Mar 3, 5:30-8:30 pm; Sage Bistro, UBC. $575, including course materials and six multi-course meals. View course outline (77 KB pdf). View an online map for the class location (Sage Bistro is located in the The Leon and Thea Koerner University Centre).
