I'm A Beet Freak. I Put Them

Many Of The Delicious Soups You Eat In French Homes And Little Restaurants Are Made Just This Way, With A Leek-and-potato Base To Which Leftover Vegetables Or Sauces And A Few Fresh Items Are Added.

It's Simply A Very Romantic Place. Just One Look At Any Of Those Streets, And You Couldn't Be Anywhere Else - It's So Beautiful, And There's That Location, And The Sense Of The Free Spirit. Who Couldn't Become Ravenous In Such A Place?

In France Cooking Is A Serious Art Form And A National Sport. I Think The French Enjoy The Complication Of The Art Form And The Cooking For Cooking's Sake. You Can Talk With A Concierge Or Police Officer About Food In France As A General Rule. It Is Not The General Rule Here. Classical Cuisine, Which I Hope We Are Going Back To, Means Certain Ways Of Doing Things And Certain Ways Of Not Doing Things. If You Know Classical French Cooking You Can Do Anything. If You Don't Know The Basics, You Turn Out Slop.
