1. France has a range different geographies and climates which support the local production of all types of ingredients;
hence you can find a wide diversity in French food. French cuisine to a great extent is quite simple, relying on high
quality fresh ingredients and less complicated recipes. Meals range from the very basic, such as the traditional baguette
with cheese and an inexpensive table wine, to very elaborate affairs that can involve a many courses and different
special wines. The most common accompaniments with French food are wine and cheese. In France wine is considered a
standard part of everyday meals, and is neither expensive nor set aside for special occasions. In addition to its use
in cooking, cheese is often served as a course in itself after the main meal but before dessert.

broadly classified into three different traditions. First is the Classical French Haute cuisine, which involves cream based
sauces in preparing dishes. Here the meal is correspondingly expensive as the food is elegant and elaborate prepared
from the finest ingredients. Presentation of the prepared food is of high importance in Haute cuisine. The Second type in
French cooking is the Cuisine Nouvelle; here the food is simpler and lighter, avoiding the heavy cream sauces. Cooking is
less elaborate and quicker, with more emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients. Third type of French cooking is the
Cuisine du terroir. This cooking focuses on regional specialties and is somewhat more rustic in character. Locally
produced ingredients are made use to a great extent in this type of cooking. There are separate and special restaurants
for each of these three different French cooking traditions.
