French cooking forms the technical foundation of this collection, with a focus on classic methods like sauce-making, braising, and baking.
You’ll find fruit tarts, simple cakes, custards, and desserts alongside slow-cooked dishes built with wine, butter, and aromatics. Many recipes are suited to weeknights with a bit of planning, while others are better for slower cooking.
These are reliable, technique-driven recipes that focus on doing simple things properly.
