French is Back: The New Cuisine is Trendy and French
French food is back with a vengeance. French cuisine has evolved
into a less pretentious version of its older self. The new
French cuisine, or Nouvelle Cuisine, is more accessible and
comes in many varieties, including bistro food, brasserie style
and the ultimate in luxury food, haute cuisine.
French cuisine is fresh and creative, and a lot more simple than
it was in the past. French cuisine is often experimental, but
the of the food continues to skyrocket. Basically, the French
have gone back to their regional roots and brought a modern
version of traditional French cooking. Unlike the sophisticated
plates of the past, French food now fits into the public's
desire for "real food". But real food is not just about
traditional mum's-cooking type of dishes. People want
traditional foods and flavors with a distinct contemporary feel.
People want the old packaged and presented in a new way. The
new
French cuisine is exactly this.
Frog's legs are still being served in abundance, but the new
French cuisine is also influenced by what is going on outside of
France. French food is now transformed by influences from the
South American, Asian, Italian and American cuisines. Chefs
creating the new French cuisine are incorporating ideas picked
up from their travels around the world. These days chefs are
knowledgeable of the characteristics of cuisines around the
world and can use elements of various cultures in creating their
own new cuisine.
The result? The new French cuisine is creative and classical.
The new French cuisine is both traditional and contemporary.
