French cuisine — , Provence / Med
Before French cuisine reaches the table, the method to trust is : “Provence / Med,” measured by 2010. Season it before it is served. A star rating is not a measure. French cuisine changes by valley, coast and capital. Lyon bouchons is one node, not the whole map.
Butter, stock and a regional map: baguette, wine and the technique ceiling of the atlas. French cuisine grew from regional peasant pots and a court that professionalised sauce and service. Cuisine française is both grandmotherly daube and the brigade system the world still copies.
French cuisine sits at spice 22 in this atlas. Croissant and Baguette show the range better than a single heat number. Croissant plus one regional plate — not only the export icon. Onion-carrot-celery base of stocks and stews. Technique 94 in this atlas is not a compliment to every bistro. It marks mother sauces, pastry lamination, wine pairing and a restaurant culture that trained half the world's fine dining.
The home pantry around Mirepoix and the labour behind Baguette rarely fit a takeaway box. Are restaurant versions "authentic"? Restaurant French cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. Cuisine française is the local name used in this atlas beside French cuisine.
French cuisine needs , “Provence / Med,” and 2010. Without them the plate is an advertisement.2010
