About this deck
For roughly three centuries — from Louis XIV's Versailles kitchens to the nouvelle revolt of the 1970s — France set the terms by which serious cooking was judged. The vocabulary, the technique, the brigade, the Michelin star: the institutions of fine dining are French inventions. Key sections include: La cuisine française.; Opening Why France matters.; Chapter I The first chef.; Chapter II Le Guide Culinaire.; Chapter III The five mothers.; Chapter IV Brigade de cuisine.; Chapter V Provence.; Chapter VI Lyon, the gastronomic capital.; Chapter VII Brittany.; Chapter VIII Alsace..
