My tips and tricks
There are 3 main spices in French cuisine that add flavour to a dish: salt, pepper, and butter. Whatever the scientists may say about the harm of butter, the French will never give it up, as practically everything is fried with it. If you want to cook as the French do, trusting centuries of culinary experience, use only good quality butter for frying. And don't forget the glass of wine 😉
