Most of us love to eat, but as far as we know, no one has beaten the French.
They just don’t love and crave food; it’s their life!
Anywhere you go, there’s a patisserie, a charming al fresco coffee, a food shop tucked in a very narrow alley, and a store that sells nothing but cheese.
It doesn’t even matter if you’re in the province! You can never question their dedication to food.
That’s why French food is always savoury, gorgeous, and delicious.

How to Learn It
French cooking classes are gaining ground in the country, so you should not have any trouble finding the right class for you.
Often these are the same schools that offer other types of cuisines like Chinese, Indian and Western (or American).
You can pick the schedule that fits you: weekends, after the office, a few hours daily.
The coverage can be very long, though, so the entire course may take a few days or weeks to complete, even if it’s deemed a short one.
Apparently, you’ll be taught how to cook the best French dishes; so there’s a lot of baking, roasting, and frying, to name a few.
Expect to be eating lots of cheese since it’s a staple in the country.
It’s their appetiser and is usually added to soups and desserts to make them richer.
Beyond these, though, you’ll learn how to complement the food with wine, owing to the fact the French countryside is populated with vineyards and they sell some of the most tasted bottles for hundreds of years.
You will start to learn the basics of being a wine connoisseur.
Of course, you’ll get to speak the French kitchen language, such as bien cuit (well done) or Le consommé du volaille (broth of a chicken).
Some also include French dining and eating etiquette in their courses.
For example, the bread is always served first before anything else and is usually provided with its plate.
Moreover, it’s usually partnered with soup.
To eat it, tear a portion and dip it into the latter.
