Top 5 French Recipes

Today marks exactly 72 years since the publication of The Little Prince, a favorite novel for children and adults in France and many others around the world. To commemorate the date, we wanted to take the opportunity to share with you some recipes from the Gallic country. From starters to desserts and main dishes, today we present our top 5: French recipes. Bouillabaise This recipe originates from the south of France, born there thanks to its proximity to the Mediterranean and easy access to fresh fish and seafood. It is a soup that takes all the flavor from shrimp, clams, and snapper to create a powerful and delicious base where the same seafood is served. This recipe is served in a deep plate and is recommended to be accompanied by baguette bread.

Although some may consider it a side dish, it can also work very well as a main course since it has enough flavor and elements to satisfy anyone's appetite. To give it a fresh touch at the end, you can sprinkle fresh parsley before serving.

Many non-French restaurants have adopted it, but the reality is that it is of French origin, and that combination of onion, cheese, and meat juice is typical of Paris. Always remember to use Gruyere cheese with this recipe and to use ciabatta bread as it is a bit denser and will not crumble with the temperature of the soup.
